A Haunting on the Hill? Halloween at Spadina

Calling all brave detectives! The Austin family have fled their Spadina mansion in the dead of the night due to the unexplained and uncanny disturbances that have been taking place in their ancestral home after nightfall. Investigate this bizarre case: are these the makings of a disgruntled staff? Pranks of witty neighbours? Or perhaps, the very phenomenon we fear when things go bump in the night... Follow the clues, solve the riddles, and help to decipher this most curious case.

This 3-part event features: a talk by Ann McDougall, author of A Ghost In the Room; puzzle-solving and roleplaying while moving through different rooms of Spadina; Ghosts of My Friends, an early 20th century parlour game. This event is designed around a fictional scenario of real-life people. Topics include paranormal and death. The activities will involve some strong scents. The museum will be in low-light conditions and require guests to navigate through narrow pathways. For ages 13+.
