How it all began...

A guide approaches the group, cloak flowing behind them and a lantern in hand. We’ve been offering extraordinary storytelling adventures for over 20 years. Our tours take place in the evening when the sun has set and the atmosphere is just right for a good ghost story. We share the stories that shape our cities.

Haunted Walks Inc. was founded in 1995 by Glen Shackleton in Kingston, Ontario. People often ask Glen how he got the idea to start the Haunted Walk. While studying History abroad for a term during university (at Herstmonceux Castle in southeast England), Glen noticed that a number of unique walking tours were offered in almost every city he visited. In the ancient city of York there were over thirty competing walking tour companies, all of which offered ‘ghost’ tours.

Glen returned to Kingston to finish his university degree and he kept coming across interesting historical tidbits about the city. He decided to take some of the darker, lesser-known history of Kingston, as well as some terrific ghost stories, and put them all together into a walking tour of downtown Kingston’s Sydenham Ward. The Haunted Walk of Kingston grew steadily.

The Haunted Walk has since expanded to include tours in Ottawa (1996) and Toronto (2012). Our tours focus on the “must-see” sites and the amazing stories that are hidden in plain sight in our three cities.
