# π The Ghosts of the University of Toronto π»
### A 90-Minute Halloween Ghost Walk Through Toronto's Haunted History
L
ooking for something a little different this Halloween season?
Join us for a guided ghost walk through the University of Toronto campus and its eerie surroundings, exploring some of the stories, legends, and strange histories hidden in one of Toronto's oldest neighbourhoods.
This isn't one of our regular walks where we're simply following a trail and enjoying the scenery.
This is a curated storytelling experience.
I've researched the locations, developed the route, and put together the stories specifically for this experience. We'll explore some of the darker corners of the university and surrounding neighbourhoods while uncovering the people, places, and legends that have given them their haunted reputations.
π―οΈ Along the way, we'll hear stories about:
- What the Christies β yes, Mr. Christie Cookies β were hiding in their mansion πͺ
- The restless little girl who is never happy π§
- What might really be lurking inside Queen's Park π
- Haunted stories connected to University of Toronto buildings
- The Royal Conservatory of Music
- The Royal Ontario Museum
- And some other stories that are better experienced after dark... π»
You don't have to believe in ghosts.
You just have to enjoy a good story.

## π» What We'll Do
We'll spend approximately 90 minutes walking through the University of Toronto campus and surrounding streets, stopping at locations connected to Toronto's haunted history.
Along the way we'll:
- Hear stories about some of Toronto's most intriguing characters and locations
- Explore the darker history of the University of Toronto
- Visit locations associated with ghost stories and local legends
- Learn the history behind some of the buildings around us
- Walk through Queen's Park and the surrounding area
- Finish at the Royal Ontario Museum
We'll remain outside the buildings throughout the experience.
The walking pace will be moderate, with plenty of stops along the way for stories.

## π―οΈ This Is More Than a Walk
Our regular walks are about getting outside, exploring Toronto, and meeting people.
This one is different.
This is a guided storytelling experience.
The route and stories have been researched and developed specifically for this event, so you're not just following me from one location to another β you're getting a story about the city as we go.
And because it's Halloween season, we'll be doing it after dark. π
***
## π What to Expect
This is an outdoor walking experience, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
We'll be walking for approximately 90 minutes, with regular stops for storytelling.
There is no entry into any buildings, so you won't need to worry about museum admission or other entrance fees.
And while some of the stories are genuinely creepy, this isn't designed to be a horror attraction.
It's Toronto history, local legends, and storytelling with a spooky twist.
