Mathew is the organizer for this meetup. If you need to contact him, please post a message on the wall, or email him at torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com - Ghost Walking Tour of High Park!High Park, Toronto, ONCA$10.00
Ghost Walking Tour of High Park: Who knew that high park was very haunted. So haunted that I could do a full walk around the park and have a different story for a different parts of the park. One of the reason why there are a few ghosts in High Park is because of the War of 1812 (this was the one when we burned down the White House and they were mad at us!) and people died. There are even some bodies buried under the ground.
Please note: We will be walking in the dark. If you would like to bring a flashlight or something for you to see in the dark that would be great.
