Barker Street - Private Home

Ghosts, I often tell people are not to be too worried about. Sure, they'll 'spook' you and generally make you jump but usually, they'll do little else than this. It's not like ghosts are often armed!

Of course, there are always exceptions.

At the rear entrance of the home in Barker Street in the very "haunted" town of Fergus, (which rivals Niagara-on-the-Lake for the number of ghost stories that appear from this town submitted to John Robert Colombo for his book "Mysteries of Ontario",) there has been seen the apparition of an armed man who appears and then disappears.

The house also had a rocking chair that seemed to have a will of it's own for a good rock.

Apparently, many other strange phenomena were experienced and was a large reason that one family had moved out in the early 1990s.
