Hogtown Halloween 2007 in High Park
High Park is one of the prettier areas of Toronto, but of course the picture to the left doesn’t really capture what it will look like during the one hour October 27th event known as Haunted High Park.
High Park is a big and open space. And, like many other big and open spaces, it has a plethora of different myths and legends about it that concern ghosts, goblins and the spirits of people long dead that haunt its paths in an attempt to resolve whatever unfinished business has left them on Earth as ghosts.
The Colbourne Lodge in particular is a place where ghost stories abound. It was the residence of John and Jemima Howard, who lived there right around the turn of the 20th century. The one hour tour of Colbourne Lodge starts at 6:30 PM on the 27th and includes a number of ghoulish tales guaranteed to make the adults think and the kids curious (and maybe just a little afraid as well – after all, it is Halloween). Best of all, the price is at most $10 and depending on your age, might be knocked down to $5 as well.
This is a great way to experience Halloween in Hogtown, for the simple reason that before and after the guided tour, there are the pathways of beautifully scenic High Park for you to wander through and take in.
