For my friends Nick and Robin Poulakis, who share their love of the paranormal with me, and my wife, Allanah O’Boyle, for her editing assistance

I first penned Haunted Ontario fifteen years ago. In that time I have completed four books on the subject of spirits, and hosted the popular national television show Creepy Canada. I have interviewed so many people who have seen, felt, or heard a spirit presence. One only has to listen to them and look into their eyes to know just how real their personal experience was to them. After all, how does anyone explain a push from behind by an unseen force, a bed that levitates three feet off the floor, a shadow that skirts by the corner of your eye, a full apparition that is visible for only a moment before it’s gone? How does an object float through the air on its own and then drop to the floor at your feet? (That was my own experience as written up Haunted Ontario.) We can only theorize.

He has much to relate about ghostly activity. “Once, in the middle of the night, I heard this loud crash in the bathroom. I sat up. I decided to check it out. When I entered the bathroom, I discovered the glass globe that covered the ceiling light bulb had crashed to the floor and broken. The light bulb was screwed in and intact. You would have to unscrew it in order for the globe to fall to the floor.

“On another occasion I awoke to the sound of a splash against the window. It sounded like someone had thrown a snowball at the glass. I got up and peeked out the curtain. There was snow on the ground but no footprints.”
