Join ghost hunter Allan Stokell on a Day of the Dead Bicycle Ghost and Mystery Tour of Toronto celebrating the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. We’ll meet in front of Union Station and then ride to the site of the old Grand Opera House once owned by Ambrose Small. The day he sold his theatre chain Small disappeared. We’ll then pedal to The Grange, where recent excavations show signs of witchcraft and then to the University of Toronto campus where there are many ghostly apparitions. Next we’ll show our respects at Darcy Allan Sheppard’s ghost bike and then we’ll explore the disappearance of Tom Thompson at the Group of Seven studio, view the possible site of Ambrose Small’s grave and go to a haunted Jarvis Street mansion and much more. Our final stop will be in the Distillery District where there are many spirits. This tour is not suitable for children.
