Ontario Court of Justice Criminal Old City Hall Court Interpreters

Haunted hotspots in Toronto

One particularly mischievous poltergeist has a habit of tugging on judges’ robes as they walk up and down the rear staircase at Toronto’s former city hall. Visitors and staffers have also reported hearing footsteps along empty hallways and moans emitting from the empty cellars, which once held the city’s prisoners. Rumour has it Courtroom 33 is particularly sinister and haunted by Robert Turpin and Arthur Lucas, the last two men to be hanged in Canada.
