Haunted Walk's Nightmare Before (and after) Christmas Tour in Ottawa
Overview
The Ghosts of Christmas Past Are Calling! Step into the shadows of the festive season, where lantern light flickers, snow falls softly, and stories linger in the long nights. From chilling winter folklore to ghostly yuletide legends, you’ll discover a darker thread woven through the season’s cheer. The majority of the tour unfolds inside the dimly lit Bytown Museum, one of Ottawa’s oldest and most haunted buildings. Once inside, you’ll learn why some Haunted Walk tour guides are too scared to give tours of the museum—even at Christmas time. Warm lights. Spooky seasonal chills. A night of festive fright you won’t soon forget. December 5, 6, 13, 20, 27-30, 2025.
