Haunted Castle Kilbride

Another eerie tale...

***

Castle Kilbride is a historical landmark and pride of small-town Baden, Ontario, although rumours of a restless ghost surround this stunning example of Italianate architecture.

Castle Kilbride

James Livingston, industrialist and politician, 

built Castle Kilbride in 1877.

One of the most notable features is the dominating cupola.

Legend has it a little Livingston boy cousin was playing in the cupola with the other kids and is said to have accidentally fallen down the cupola's steep stairs, meeting an untimely end.

Visitors over the years claim to have heard soft steps bounding up the same staircase, 

with accompanying giggling and laughter. They say he whispers that he wants to play.

But, the stairs have always been found deserted.

Is that someone (or something...) peeking through the shutters!?!

Home to the Livingston's for three generations, Kilbride was eventually purchased

by the Township in 1993 and now serves as a museum.

Enter...if you dare!

Stratford House Tour

Stratford, Ontario

Not just another Ontario farm town, this community is chock-full of beautiful old Victorian homes.

 Along every street, lay architectural gems.

 Including this famous Stratford home, the "Stratford White House".

The White House is pretty imposing compared to it's neighbours, who are, in general, very stately themselves.

I absolutely love this house on the corner. I think I just really like their red front door.

This home always reminds me of an old Italian villa.

A Wuthering Heights home, because it's so dark and imposing... but in a good way.

And last but not least... Rundles Morris House, the minimalist vacation home of Stratford.

Also attached is Rundles Restaurant.

Stratford is home to the Shakespearean Festival Theatre of Canada, Justin Bieber, and beautiful homes.

Visit for the theatre, stay for the architecture.
