Haunted hotspots in Toronto
This former home of William Lyon Mackenzie is said to be the most haunted house in the city. Apparitions of Mackenzie, his wife and children have been spotted around the second and third floors of the spooky tourist spot. The cheeky spirits have also been known to tamper with the printing press in the basement and turn taps off and on spontaneously during tours. The ghosts haunting this heritage home are even noted on official city documents; Anglican Archdeacon John Frank visited the house in the late 1960s in an attempt to exorcise the spirits.

Toronto and Mississauga: Places to get caught up in history
Locals interested in their city’s politics will be thrilled to discover that the historical home of the first mayor of Toronto, William Lyon Mackenzie, is open for visits and tours. Mackenzie was a radical politician who changed the thinking of many Torontonians and his house is reflective of his eclectic style. You’ll find a print shop similar to the one in which Mackenzie printed his own newspapers, and perhaps a little more than you bargained for, since the house is allegedly haunted.
