Ghosts of Niagara-on-the-Lake
Dundurn, 2009
$24.99
Long-dead British soldiers, grieving lovers, the heroic Laura Secord - Niagara-on-the-Lake's long and colourful history is kept alive by the
ghosts of its past. Widely considered to be Canada's most haunted community, the town has preserved many of its historical buildings, thus providing perfect 'haunts' for age-old spirits.
Through historical investigation and engrossing storytelling, the authors have detailed nearly two dozen ghostly occurrences. An ageless tavern is home to the spirit of a British officer slain in its basement - a gentlemanly ghost except when encountering Americans; a woman comes face-to-face with a hero from the paste working at one of the nation's
most cherished historic landmarks; visitors to Queenston Heights are stalked by phantom soldiers. Some of the area's most charming hotels even have resident spirits who roam the halls and occupy the stately rooms.
Historical research is embedded in every tale in Ghosts of Niagara-on-the-Lake in an
attempt to establish the line between fact and fantasy. But numerous eyewitness accounts will draw the reader into these unusual and often unnerving stories. Catch a glimpse of a not-so-distant past through the spiirts who refuse to leave it behind as we explore one of Canada's most fascinating towns.
