Conclusion

One of the great benefits of getting to work on a book like this is the amount of research I had to do. With virtually every single chapter, almost every tale, I felt the need to go back and look further into the history of a person or a place, and my research sessions likely ended up being more than twice of what they truly needed to be. Caught up in the magic of history coming alive on the pages of the book in front of me, or of the archived newspaper clippings I was poring over, I had to keep reminding myself to stop and make notes.

I find it ever so intriguing that while I was originally drawn by the tales born from the dark shadows, I regularly became pulled into the historic legacy of the city.

And, of course, just the other night, when I was taking a stroll along the mountain brow in my neighbourhood with my wife and my son, at three separate times, as we passed landmarks, such as a building that used to be part of Buchanans Claremont estate, of the location of the Mountain View Hotel and of the Bruce Trail, I would pause to share a delightful and intriguing factoid I had learned that often hadnt even found its way into this book.

At one point during our walk, my wife Francine turned to me with a bemused smile on her face and said, Writing this book has been really good for you.

Indeed, I said, nodding my agreement.

And not just because of the interesting facts I had discovered and was now sharing with others, but because of the manner by which my appreciation for our neighbourhood and our city was continuing to grow.

To liberate a phrase Sir Isaac Newton was known for, if I have been able to appreciate and see great things about this city and its fascinating and rich history, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants: all of the men, women, and children who initially established Hamilton and over the countless decades have helped it grow into the fine city it is today.

Who You Gonna Call?

A Look at the People Behind Haunted Hamilton Ghost Walks & Events

I knew that when I first began writing a book involving ghosts in the Hamilton area, I would be consulting with the folks from Haunted Hamilton Ghost Walks & Events. Founders Daniel Cumerlato and Stephanie Lechniak have been very generous with their time, resources, and the more than ten years of in-depth research they have conducted as part of their business.

The whole way through my journey of compiling information and collecting tales, they have shared personal accounts, detailed articles, suggestions for people I should talk to, and have welcomed me with open arms and friendly smiles. They have also been generous with their time, responding to my phone calls and emails as well as sitting down with me at length to be interviewed about what they do and some of the legends they have investigated.

For this reason, I thought it would be important to share a little bit of detail about their group and all that they offer to Hamilton, not just from an intriguing and paranormal viewpoint, but from a historical perspective.

Dan and Stephanie have been running Haunted Hamilton since 1999.

It all started when the couple, who were both born and raised in Hamilton, were living in Toronto. They had always been intrigued by supernatural events and, one evening were conducting an Ouija board session in their apartment with a microcassette recorder. They had had done the usual things one does when playing with an Ouija board and asked if there was a spirit presence. Eventually, the pointer on the board moved to YES and occasionally moved around providing non-descript responses to their question, but nothing much really happened.

It wasnt until they were done the session, which was held in an apartment lit only by the atmospheric light of candles, that they discovered something eerie had happened and which neither of them had noticed. When they were done and listened to the tape they could hear their voices in the background, somewhat muted and distant because the recorder was sitting a few feet away from them. But after they had said: Spirit, are you there? a very clear, breathy voice could be heard right up at the microphone, saying, Yesss!

We slept with the lights on that night! Daniel joked.

But that incident was the genesis of it all. Daniel and Stephanie went to a local Toronto paranormal group with their story but didnt hear anything back. So they posted about their experience on the Internet, and among the website hits they received, they heard from a couple of guys who were planning on doing a paranormal television show. Stephanie and Daniel met with them and the guys listened to the EVP. They were quite intrigued and spent a long time discussing the event the couple had experienced as well as sharing other stories. Nothing ever happened with them or the television show, but Daniel and Stephanies interest in the paranormal had been piqued. During the discussion, the guys who were working on the television show had mentioned something they called the murder house in Hamilton.

Afterwards, Stephanie and Daniel learned they were speaking about the Bellevue Mansion in Hamilton and they spent a great deal of time doing research on this building, discovering the tales surrounding it were akin to the legends associated with The Amityville Horror .

The two visited the mansion during the day. Mostly because we were too frightened to visit the home in the middle of the night, Stephanie joked. Stephanie also went to her parents home in Hamilton, snuck into her fathers closet, and borrowed her fathers rather expensive 35mm camera.
