SITE HISTORY:

William Lyon Mackenzie was the first mayor of Toronto, later declared a traitor for leading the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion. He was also a newspaper editor. Even though Mackenzie died in August of 1861, the first report of activity at this location wasn't until 1960.

"the most celebrated haunted house in Metropolitan Toronto and perhaps in all of Canada" -- the great John Robert Colombo.



CONCLUSION:

In the photo taken of the daughters' bedroom, you can see an orb in the center right top portion of the photo and its shadow on the wall. We believe this is due to reflection from the mirror, which can be seen in the photo to the left of the fireplace. We will leave you with this author's words:

"And while the ghost of Mackenzie may or may not inhabit the house, we believe that his spirit can still be found there." Chris Raible
