Fort Smith - Judge Parker Court House - Judge Isaac Parker, that hanged around 80 people here haunts the court house (that is now a museum) as well as the people he hanged. You can sometimes see the ropes at the gallows sway back and fourth with no wind. Also, you can hear the banging of Parkers gavel in the courthouse.
| Actually I've never heard of this haunting listed for my hometown on this website....Judge Parker's District Attorney does still haunt his old house in the Fort Smith historical district though they say.... --L.B. http://www.fortsmith.org/attractions/clayton.asp Originally built in the 1850's, this classic Victorian Renaissance baroque mansion was greatly enlarged when bought in 1882 by William Henry Harrison Clayton, who was District Attorney during Judge Parker's tenure on the federal bench. Now fully restored and containing some Clayton family period pieces, the home features a double-door entrance and hand-carved staircases. It exemplifies the beauty and grace of the Victorian era. |

Van Buren - King Opera House Theatre - Things have been heard and seen by actors and maintenance workers during the running of plays.
| I think I've actually seen this ghost.....One day while driving through Van Buren, I saw a grayish, brownish figure of a teenaged lad strolling along a street that leads to the King Opera House. He was dressed in 1920s or 30s era clothing.... I circled the block trying to see him again and he had vanished. The thing I saw generally matches local descriptions of the Opera House ghost. I hadn't heard these descriptions prior to my run-in with the alleged spirit...... --L.B. |

Ontario - Hamilton - Belvedere Mansion - This mansion is apparently cursed and is haunted by ghosts of two murdered families. Their 7-year-old son who then hung himself in the attic killed the first family. The house was then sold to another family where the father murdered his family and then hung himself in the attic. - October 2004 update: This building was torn down in the fall of 2000.

Ontario - Hamilton - the haunted forest house - whenever you walk at night, around this house you feel like someone or something is following you around and it feels like someone is breathing down your neck but when you turn around no one is there, once every year in October there is a light in the house, and people have checked it out and there is no source of power or any type of lighting, at the front door when you stand in front of it you would get a chill run down your spine, when you walk threw the forest you would see shadows of little children and when you approach them they disappear and you can hear their laughter faintly.
Ontario - Hamilton - The Hermitage - Old ruins found in Ancestor of an old mansion. Apparently the ruins and the woods surrounding them are haunted by the ghost of a black slave who hung himself from a willow tree because he was in love with his master?s daughter.

Ontario - Hamilton - Rock Castle - One of Hamilton's oldest buildings, it is frequented by sudden temperature drops, and mysterious voices.
Ontario - Hamilton - The Tivoli theater - It's extremely old and people tend to get an eerie feeling when they are in it at night footsteps heard after closing. The presence that people seem to get in the building is definitely of a male and the guard dogs that are in the building are often heard barking at nothing and crying at night. Actors and workers in the building have heard voices and many unexplainable things have occurred there. - October 2004 Update: It still stands for the time being but plans for tearing it down are in the works as we speak. The reason for that is fire damage that occurred within the last year that is far from repair.
