About this episode

This episode explores the haunted history of Pickering Museum Village through interviews with staff and accounts of supernatural encounters.

There's a Pioneer Village in Pickering, Ontario, where 19 heritage buildings stand frozen in time. But according to staff who work there after dark, the people who once lived in these homes may never have truly left. In this episode of Haunted Canada, we speak with heritage programmer Ali Crone about the strange encounters inside Pickering Museum Village — from disembodied voices calling out names in the Brougham Temperance House, to a mysterious fainting couch that makes visitors feel sick and dizzy. Children on school trips have pointed to figures watching from upstairs windows when no one else was inside. And in one house, multiple witnesses have heard something growl. Some believe the spirits of early settlers — including the woman who once lived in what is now the museum's office — still walk these creaking floors. And when the lanterns burn low and the village falls quiet… their presence makes itself known.
