Ontario is rich in ghost towns, communities that were once thriving but which have been reduced to mere shadows of their former selves. Nine villages -- including silver camps, fishing ports, crossroads hamlets, and farming settlements -- come alive on the pages of this book. The term 'ghost town' invariably conjures up images of fog-shrouded cemeteries, buildings with sinister visages, and of course, restless spirits of the dead. While often this is merely our imagination at play, in some cases, these ghost towns are indeed said to be haunted.

Well-illustrated with photos and maps this book has the best 80 ghost towns in Ontario described in Ron Brown's previous books. Each essay explores a town, some abandoned, some still populated, whose former glory makes it an interesting destination.

The authors explore the tragic history of communities whose stars have long since faded, and the people who once lived, loved, and laboured in them.

A collection of 69 Ontario stories of haunted houses, ghosts, poltergeists, apparitions, and other eerie experiences.
