When the circus comes to town; many get very excited. Circus’s are advertised as “fun for all ages”, and provide entertainment that you wouldn’t normally see. But in the case of a circus that went to Toronto in 1855 - it was not fun. In fact, it resulted in the start of changing the political structure of the city itself.

I am quite often asked what I think the most haunted place is. Many guess it is a cemetery, but that’s not what I think. Ghosts are said to appear in a location due to emotion...they were happy there or perhaps they died there. The thing is that both of these do not always apply to a cemetery, but they do apply to hospitals.

Many people take their last breaths in a hospital, and because of that I believe that these places are some of the most haunted places around.
