GHOST HUNTS

Join us for an intimate evening with spirit at
The Staircase!

During this paranormal investigation, we will open the veil between worlds, and connect with the spirits of The Staircase, hearing their stories and learning about their lives. We always approach investigations as a means of discovery and communication, respecting the sanctity of the building and the souls that still reside. We will have access to the entire building!

Built in 1914 by Architect George Mills, the building was originally commissioned by the Cataract Power Corporation to act as a sub-station for hydro-electricity. In the early 20th century, Hamilton was known as Canada’s Electric City, being a pioneer in the supply and distribution of hydro-electricity. The stations built during this time were known for their rich architecture, and The Staircase is no exception. Since its decommission as an electrical supply sub-station in 1996, this historic building has been a thriving cultural centre for decades, hosting concerts, theatre productions, and a variety of other events. 

The Staircase has many stories to tell.
Join us as we explore the hidden stories and messages embedded within the history of its walls.

This 3-hour event will begin with an introduction to psychic development and a brief training on how to conduct a paranormal investigation including tools and techniques, from both a spiritual and scientific lens. You’ll have ample time to investigate paranormal activity throughout. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in some group investigation experiences, and we’ll end the evening with a Seance, as we connect to the other worlds and communicate with the spirits that still reside. Before the event concludes, we will come together to discuss our experiences and share our stories.

Experience The Staircase in a unique way.
