Mon - Fri (9a - 4p)  # 905-685-8424 or email  ghost(at)stcathdowntown(dot)com

Please note that private/group tours can be made at any time throughout the year.

The walks cover around 20 blocks, and take about 75 minutes. The guides walk at an easy pace, stopping outside of the locations. The walks do not enter any buildings. There are 2 walks and they cover different sections of downtown.  Route A (the original walk) covers the west end of downtown; Route B (the newer walk) covers the east end of downtown. Both routes are not available each night; availability depends on our guides schedules and is subject to change. If you would like a specific route please indicate that with your reservation and we will do our best to accommodate it. The stories on the walk are documented accounts and can be disturbing to younger children. We suggest that attendees be over 10 yrs of age, or please request to book one of our Little Spooks walks.  

Walks are limited to about 20 people per guide, this keeps an intimate feeling as well as the group being about to hear the guide and stay together during the walk. During October many nights we schedule multiple walks – although we advertise the walks start at 7pm, they may actually start later than that.
