Ghost Town Stories of Ontario
by Maria Da Silva and Andrew Hind
Fascinating stories of nine abandoned Ontario villages
Ontario is rich in ghost towns—once-thriving communities now reduced to whispers of their former selves. In this book, nine of these unique villages come alive. Readers will discover the remains of isolated silver camps, weathered fishing ports, lonely crossroad hamlets, and desolate farming settlements.
Spooky tales associated with many of these communities also suggest a more literal meaning to the term "ghost town."
Blending fascinating local history with mysterious local legends, this book explores the thin line between imagination and the paranormal.
