History



Pat explores the history of the castle and who has owned it over the years. The grand estate was the biggest home in Canada when it was built by Sir Henry Pellatt in 1911. The house cost about $3.5 million and took 299 workers three years to build. Today it is open the public and leased by Liberty Entertainment Group.



The Debate



Pat and Rebecca debate the paranormal evidence. Visitors claim to see apparitions, including the White Lady, Lady Mary, and Sir Henry. Paranormal investigators claim to have lost equipment and many who have explored the underground tunnel between the house and the stables have claimed to hear ghostly sounds of horses.
