Bytown Museum Ottawa

Step into Ottawa's supernatural past on this 75-minute guided walking tour centred on the Bytown Museum, the city's oldest and most haunted building. Led by a local guide and storyteller, the tour shares chilling tales of ghostly encounters reported by museum staff, visitors and the guides themselves. You meet your cloaked guide at 46 1/2 Sparks Street in Ottawa, then head to the museum to hear ghost stories from across the region, including tales connected to the Rideau Canal, Barrack Hill Cemetery and the Gatineau River. The tour is led live in English for groups of up to 24 people and runs at set times, so you choose your time slot when you book. It is recommended for guests aged above 10, and children must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that daytime admission to the Bytown Museum is not included and the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
