It’s time for a paranormal excursion through Ontario’s haunted history. The Ghost and Mystery Trolley Tour takes you on a whirlwind after-dark adventure through Kingston’s spooky past.

As one of Ontario’s oldest cities, Kingston has had many mysterious events and ghostly encounters throughout the years.

On this 90-minute evening tour, you’ll board a historic trolley and visit “notable sites and notorious neighbourhoods that played a ghostly role in Kingston’s early history,” says the description.

Learn all about the mysteries that still haunt Kingston’s historic destinations to this day.

The trolley tour will take you to some of the most chilling spots in and around the city — Fort Henry Hill, The Rockwood Asylum, and Kingston Penitentiary.

The tour begins at the Kingston Visitor Information Centre and will whisk you away to the creepy Rockwood Asylum

“Opened in 1878 and surviving until 2000 under various names, this building hides a century of dark and unanswered history,” says Kingston Trolley Tours about the asylum.
