Overview

There are few places more historic, charming, and haunted in Canada than Queen’s University. There are eerie tales of student grave robbers, professors reaching out from the beyond, heists gone wrong and streets shrouded in mystery. We’ve never told these stories before and can’t wait to share them with our guests. You won’t hear spine-tingling and heart-pounding tales like these on the regular campus tours. Join us for the Ghosts of Queen’s University and graduate with a degree in the supernatural!

Activity itinerary

Frontenac County Court House National Historic Site (Pass by)
Designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980, this imposing limestone structure, in Greek Revival style, was built in the late 1850s. It is our meeting point for the evening and where our first ghost story is told.
Chalmers United Church (Pass by)
Chalmers United Church is a historic church located in Kingston, Ontario, known for its striking Gothic Revival architecture. Built in 1890, the church has a rich history and is a designated heritage building. We share a great ghost story about this historical landmark.
Queen's University (Pass by)
The Queen's University campus, which dates back to the 1840s, is a beautiful and vibrant hub of academic and social activity, and where most of our ghost stories will be shared. With stunning historic architecture, lush green spaces, and modern facilities, the campus offers a welcoming and inspiring environment for students, faculty, and visitors alike.
Fleming Hall (Pass by)
Fleming Hall with its various wings honours several figures in Queen's history. The original building was named for Sir Sandford Fleming, who was a noted chancellor of Queen's. The other three honourees were all affiliated with Electrical Engineering, which was located in Fleming Hall until 1989. The Jemmett Wing is named for Douglas Mill Jemmett, who is a key player in a chilling ghost story we share.
Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre (Pass by)
Founded in 1996 to support the success of Indigenous students, Four Directions moved into this home in 2000. Originally built in 1886, there have been many notable residents including Canadian poet Charles Sangster. We share his tragic story.
Summerhill (Pass by)
Constructed in 1839, Summerhill was originally intended to be the country villa of Archdeacon George O’Kill Stuart. When Kingston became the capital of Canada, for a time it was used as a boarding house for the members of the Legislative Assembly. Queen’s purchased the building in 1854 and for many years it was the University's only building. It later housed the medical school - which used it for very macabre practices.
Kingston General Hospital (Pass by)
Kingston is home to many hospitals that are often used in training medical students studying at Queen’s University. Kingston General Hospital, in particular, was built in 1835. Unfortunately, once the original building was completed, there was no money left in the budget to purchase any furnishings, leaving the building standing empty for three years. The hospital has had numerous uses throughout its history, it even acted as Canada’s first temporary parliament building. We share ghost stories from two of Kingston's hospitals.
Agnes Etherington Art Centre (Pass by)
The Agnes Etherington Art Centre is a renowned art museum located on the campus of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. With a collection of over 17,000 works of art, the museum is a hub of cultural activity, offering a diverse range of exhibitions and programming throughout the year. Visitors can explore art from around the world, from ancient to contemporary, and enjoy the beautiful architecture and tranquil outdoor spaces of this world-class museum. Lucky for us, it is also haunted.
Dunning Hall - Queen's University Faculty of Arts and Science (Pass by)
One of the lesser-known haunts on the university campus is Dunning Hall. It’s a fairly newer building compared to some that we visited. Built in 1960, this modern stone building is the home of Queen’s Department of Economics and boasts some of the university’s largest lecture halls.
John Deutsch University Centre (Pass by)
The John Deutsch University Centre, rebuilt in 1947, after the original Student’s Union was destroyed in a fire, is where the majority of ghostly events attributed to the spirit of Alfie Pierce tend to take place.
