Join us as we explore one of Toronto’s oldest and most mysterious landmarks — the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse. Built in 1808, this now-decommissioned lighthouse has witnessed over two centuries of history, shipwrecks, and whispers of the paranormal. Learn of the eerie legend of its first lighthouse keeper and his mysterious disappearance, and the ghostly experiences that still echo through its stone walls. Is it just folklore, or is there something truly haunting the shores of Lake Ontario?
