# ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŒ™ The Ghosts of Cabbagetown ### A 90-Minute Evening Ghost Walk Through One of Torontoโ€™s Most Historic Neighbourhoods Cabbagetown has beautiful Victorian houses, quiet streets, old cemeteries, and a history that goes back generations. It also has ghosts. Join me for a **90-minute evening walking tour through Cabbagetown**, where we'll explore some of the neighbourhood's strangest stories, unsettling legends, and darker pieces of Toronto's past. We'll begin beneath the glass of **Allan Gardens**, then make our way through the streets of Cabbagetown, stopping along the way for stories of mysterious creatures, haunted buildings, old prisons, cemeteries, restless spirits, and the people who may never have quite left. This isn't a traditional history walk. It's a **ghost tour** โ€” so expect some history, some local legends, a little mystery, and a few stories that are difficult to explain. And, of course, we'll have a few laughs along the way. ๐Ÿ“ฑ Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group โ€“ [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## ๐Ÿ‘ป What We'll Explore Our route will take us through some of Cabbagetown's most atmospheric locations, including: ๐ŸŒฟ **Allan Gardens** โ€” ghosts beneath the glass ๐Ÿพ **Winchester Square Park** โ€” the strange story of Cabbagetown's Tunnel Monster ๐Ÿธ **The Winchester Hotel** โ€” spirits that may have never checked out ๐Ÿš๏ธ **Winchester Street** โ€” haunted houses and Victorian secrets โ›“๏ธ **The Don Jail & Bridgepoint** โ€” where the walls remember everything ๐Ÿ„ **Riverdale Farm** โ€” and its strange connection to the old Don Jail โšฐ๏ธ **The Toronto Necropolis** โ€” a city of the dead beneath a city of the living ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ **St. James Town & St. James' Cemetery** โ€” where the living and the dead share the same neighbourhood And much, much more... *** ## ๐ŸŒ™ What Makes This Tour Different? This is a **new ghost walk for the group**, created specifically around Cabbagetown. Rather than simply walking from one location to another, the route has been **curated around the stories** so that each stop connects to the next. We'll move through the neighbourhood at a comfortable pace, stopping along the way while I share the stories behind the places we're visiting. Some stories are historical. Some are local legends. Some are downright strange. You'll have to decide for yourself which ones you believe. ๐Ÿ‘ป *** ## ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ A Little About the Tour This is a **90-minute evening walk**. We will be walking outdoors throughout the tour and will **not be entering buildings**. Some locations may be viewed from outside or from nearby public spaces. Please be respectful of residents, private property, and cemetery grounds as we make our way through the neighbourhood. *** ## ๐Ÿ“ Meetup Details ๐Ÿ•š **Meeting Time:** 6:30 PM I will only wait **5 minutes** before we begin. ๐ŸซŽ **Meeting Location:** Outside the **Palm House at Allan Gardens (this BIG WHITE building)** Look for me in my **Moose Hat!** ๐Ÿ **End Point:** Parliament Street & Wellesley Street East ๐Ÿšถ **Walking Time:** Approximately 90 minutes ๐Ÿ‘ป **Pace:** Comfortable, steady walking pace *** ## ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Meetup Fee **$10 cash or e-transfer** ๐Ÿ“ง **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** The $10 fee helps support the group and covers the **extra research, preparation, and curation that goes into creating these ghost walks**. These aren't simply walks where we meet up and wander around. I've put together a specific route, researched the stories, and created a series of stops designed to turn the walk into an actual **storytelling experience**. You're paying for the experience โ€” not just the walking. *** ## ๐ŸŽ’ What to Bring ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Comfortable walking shoes ๐Ÿงฅ Weather-appropriate clothing ๐Ÿ’ง Water ๐Ÿ”ฆ A little extra light if you have it ๐Ÿ‘ป An open mind And maybe don't wander off by yourself. You never know who's walking behind you. *** ## โš ๏ธ A Quick Note Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel or change an event. Please keep an eye on the event page for updates. You can RSVP ahead of time โ€” or **just show up on the day if you're not sure about your schedule.** *** ## ๐ŸŒˆ Who Is This For? This walk is for anyone who enjoys: ๐Ÿ‘ป Ghost stories and local legends ๐Ÿ™๏ธ Toronto history ๐Ÿšถ Social walking ๐Ÿ“ธ Exploring different neighbourhoods ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Strange and unusual stories ๐Ÿ˜‚ A good story without taking ourselves too seriously You don't have to be a believer. You don't even have to be scared. Just come for the walk and see what you think. ### **Organizer:** Mathew ๐Ÿ“ง **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)** ### **๐Ÿ‘‹ Come for the stories.** ### **๐Ÿšถ Stay for the walk.** ### **๐Ÿ‘ป And keep an eye out for who might be walking with us.**

# ๐ŸŽƒ The Ghosts of the University of Toronto ๐Ÿ‘ป ### A 90-Minute Halloween Ghost Walk Through Toronto's Haunted History L ooking for something a little different this Halloween season? Join us for a **guided ghost walk through the University of Toronto campus and its eerie surroundings**, exploring some of the stories, legends, and strange histories hidden in one of Toronto's oldest neighbourhoods. This isn't one of our regular walks where we're simply following a trail and enjoying the scenery. **This is a curated storytelling experience.** I've researched the locations, developed the route, and put together the stories specifically for this experience. We'll explore some of the darker corners of the university and surrounding neighbourhoods while uncovering the people, places, and legends that have given them their haunted reputations. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Along the way, we'll hear stories about: * What the Christies โ€” yes, *Mr. Christie Cookies* โ€” were hiding in their mansion ๐Ÿช * The restless little girl who is never happy ๐Ÿ‘ง * What might really be lurking inside Queen's Park ๐Ÿ‘€ * Haunted stories connected to University of Toronto buildings * The Royal Conservatory of Music * The Royal Ontario Museum * And some other stories that are better experienced after dark... ๐Ÿ‘ป You don't have to believe in ghosts. You just have to enjoy a good story. ๐Ÿ“ฑ Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group โ€“ [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## ๐Ÿ‘ป What We'll Do We'll spend approximately **90 minutes walking through the University of Toronto campus and surrounding streets**, stopping at locations connected to Toronto's haunted history. Along the way we'll: * Hear stories about some of Toronto's most intriguing characters and locations * Explore the darker history of the University of Toronto * Visit locations associated with ghost stories and local legends * Learn the history behind some of the buildings around us * Walk through Queen's Park and the surrounding area * Finish at the **Royal Ontario Museum** We'll remain **outside the buildings** throughout the experience. The walking pace will be moderate, with plenty of stops along the way for stories. *** ## ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ This Is More Than a Walk Our regular walks are about getting outside, exploring Toronto, and meeting people. This one is different. **This is a guided storytelling experience.** The route and stories have been researched and developed specifically for this event, so you're not just following me from one location to another โ€” you're getting a story about the city as we go. And because it's Halloween season, we'll be doing it after dark. ๐ŸŽƒ *** ## ๐Ÿ‚ What to Expect This is an outdoor walking experience, so please dress appropriately for the weather. We'll be walking for approximately **90 minutes**, with regular stops for storytelling. There is **no entry into any buildings**, so you won't need to worry about museum admission or other entrance fees. And while some of the stories are genuinely creepy, this isn't designed to be a horror attraction. It's **Toronto history, local legends, and storytelling with a spooky twist.** *** ## ๐Ÿงข Meetup Details ๐Ÿ“ **Meeting Location:** In front of the building by the stairs ๐ŸซŽ **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** โฐ **Start Time:** 7:00 PM sharp I will only wait **5 minutes.** **Early is on time. On time is late.** ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ **Walking Pace:** Moderate ๐Ÿ **End Point:** Royal Ontario Museum *** ## ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Meetup Fee **$10 cash or e-transfer** ๐Ÿ“ง **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This is a **curated, guided storytelling experience**, rather than one of our regular group walks. The route, stories, and history have been researched and developed specifically for this experience. Food and drinks afterward are optional and are **not included** in the Meetup fee. *** ## ๐Ÿป After the Ghost Walk We'll finish at the **Royal Ontario Museum**. For anyone who wants to keep the evening going, we'll walk about 10 minutes over to the **Duke of York** for food, drinks, and conversation. You don't have to come โ€” but everyone is welcome. Because sometimes the best part of a ghost story is having someone to talk about it with afterward. ๐Ÿ‘ป *** ## ๐ŸŒˆ Who Is This For? This is great for: * Anyone who loves ghost stories ๐Ÿ‘ป * History buffs * People curious about Toronto's darker side * Fans of Halloween * Anyone who enjoys storytelling * People looking for something different to do in the city * Anyone who wants to meet new people while exploring Toronto You don't need to believe in ghosts. **Just bring your curiosity.** You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule. Sometimes things happen and events may need to be cancelled or changed, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. ๐Ÿ‘ค **Organizer: Mathew** Questions? Post on the event wall or email: ๐Ÿ“ง **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com** **Come for the ghosts. ๐Ÿ‘ป** **Stay for the stories.** **Leave with a new connection โ€” and maybe a new friend.** ๐Ÿ–ค

๐Ÿ **The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk)** ๐Ÿ‚ Celebrate Thanksgiving with a scenic fall walk through Torontoโ€™s ravines as we make our way to **Evergreen Brick Works**. Along the way, enjoy the crisp autumn air, brilliant fall colours, and a peaceful escape from the city. Weโ€™ll spend about **30 minutes exploring the Brick Works**, taking in its history, trails, and unique setting before heading back through **Mount Pleasant Cemetery** โ€” one of Torontoโ€™s largest and oldest cemeteries, with plenty of history and beautiful seasonal scenery. For those whoโ€™d like to keep the day going, weโ€™ll finish with a cozy **Thanksgiving lunch at Swiss Chalet**. Their seasonal special is expected to be around **$18.29 plus tax and tip** and includes stuffing, cranberry sauce, your choice of side, a roll, and a slice of pie โ€” a pretty good way to finish a Thanksgiving walk! ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฅง ๐Ÿ“ฑ Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group โ€“ [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ### Meetup Details ๐Ÿ“ **Meetup Location:** I will be standing outside of ST. CLAIR SUBWAT STATION right beside the McDonald wearing my Moose Hat. ๐ŸฆŒ ๐Ÿ•› **Meetup Time:** 12:00pm **I will only wait 5 minutes.** ๐Ÿ’ฒ **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash ๐Ÿ’ต or e-transfer ๐Ÿ“ฒ to **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** ๐Ÿ“ **Ending Spot:** Swiss Chalet, a few blocks from the station. Planning to join us for lunch? Please let me know so I can give Swiss Chalet a rough estimate of how many people to expect. They donโ€™t take reservations, but Iโ€™d like to give them an approximate number so they can be prepared for our group. ๐Ÿ **Please note:** Swiss Chalet is a continuation of this event, not a separate event for anyone joining us for the walk. If you are attending the Brick Works walk **and** joining us for lunch at Swiss Chalet, you only pay the **$5 Meetup fee once**. If you are **only joining us at Swiss Chalet** and are not attending the walk, please sign up for the separate Swiss Chalet event. The **$5 Meetup fee applies** to that event. *** ### What to Bring * Water * Good walking shoes ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ * A jacket or extra layer โ€” fall weather can change quickly * Your camera or phone if you want to capture the colours! ๐Ÿ“ธ *** ### More About the Brick Works ๐Ÿงฑ From 1889 through the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canadaโ€™s leading brickyards. In the 1990s, the former quarry was restored by the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, transforming the site into the natural and cultural destination we know today. Opened to the public in 1996, Evergreen Brick Works now combines history, nature, wildlife, and trails in the heart of Torontoโ€™s ravine system. In autumn, the surrounding landscape comes alive with reds, oranges, and golds, making it one of the city's great places to enjoy the fall colours. *** โœจ **Not sure yet? You can just show up on the day!** โš ๏ธ **Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel. Please watch for updates before heading out.** ๐Ÿ‘ค **Organized by Mathew.** For questions, post on the Meetup wall or email **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)**
