Episode description: Joshua Bates was a wealthy merchant who arrived in Smiths Falls, Ontario with big dreams in 1861. He had built mills along the Rideau Canal, courted the railway, and then constructed a beautiful home where he could greet the world from any direction. Sadly, he only lived in it for six months and when he died, his rival moved in. Then, Joshua Bates was erased from his own story so completely that the poem the Forgotten Man. was written about him. The outside world may have moved on but the house never did.

There's a grand stone building in Fergus, Ontario, that has stood for nearly 150 years. It was built as a poorhouse in 1877 — a place for the destitute, the sick, the aged, and the forgotten. But according to staff who work there today, some of those who lived and died within its walls may never have truly left. In this episode of Haunted Canada, we speak with Katie Clark, heritage programmer at the Wellington County Museum and Archives, about the strange encounters inside one of Canada's last remaining poorhouses — from footsteps heard walking down carpeted hallways when no one is there, to a little girl whose laughter echoes through the kitchen at midnight. Visitors have smelled cigar smoke in empty rooms. Rocking chairs move on their own. And staff have learned one unsettling rule: if you hear the little girl, don't talk back to her. With 271 souls buried in the pauper cemetery on the grounds — and twice that number who died inside — it's no surprise that the Wellington County Museum has become one of Ontario's most haunted historic sites. Some believe the spirits of former inmates still walk the old dormitories, unwilling or unable to move on from a place they never wanted to be Guest info: Katie Clarke, Heritage Programmer Wellington Have ghost stories of your own?

There's a Pioneer Village in Pickering, Ontario, where 19 heritage buildings stand frozen in time. But according to staff who work there after dark, the people who once lived in these homes may never have truly left. In this episode of Haunted Canada, we speak with heritage programmer Ali Crone about the strange encounters inside Pickering Museum Village — from disembodied voices calling out names in the Brougham Temperance House, to a mysterious fainting couch that makes visitors feel sick and dizzy. Children on school trips have pointed to figures watching from upstairs windows when no one else was inside. And in one house, multiple witnesses have heard something growl. Some believe the spirits of early settlers — including the woman who once lived in what is now the museum's office — still walk these creaking floors. And when the lanterns burn low and the village falls quiet… their presence makes itself known.
