Haunted Ontario Episode 1: Erchless Estate - Oakville, Solo NIGHT Exploration
A short solo spooky exploration at the supposedly haunted Oakville Museum!
Erchless Estate is described as the most haunted place in Oakville, according to historical society volunteers. Once the home of the town’s founding family, the Chisholms, it is now the site of the Oakville Museum.
Those who work there have all run into the nine ghosts said to be there. Lights have said to turn on, on their own, and those who take wedding pictures on the grounds say ghostly figures appear in the background when the photos are printed
