For fans of all things frightful, it’s a great time of year because it’s when all the best haunted houses are open to those brave enough to venture inside.

Here are the five most adrenaline-pumping haunted houses near Hamilton.


5: Haunted High Park

Fans of seances and speaking to the dead will get a kick out of Haunted High Park located at the Colbourn lodge at 11 Colbourn Lodge Drive.

Guests will get to go on a ghost walk and tour that will include a Victorian séance, a candlelit tour of a 19th-century home in mourning, and a visit to the tomb of the founders of High Park. The tours will also recount ghost sightings and paranormal activities from around the museum.

The event is suitable for people 13 and up, and teenagers must be accompanied by an adult.
