Ghost Town Stories of Ontario
by Maria Da Silva and Andrew Hind
Fascinating stories of nine abandoned Ontario villages
Ontario is rich in ghost towns—once-thriving communities now reduced to whispers of their former selves. In this book, nine of these unique villages come alive. Readers will discover the remains of isolated silver camps, weathered fishing ports, lonely crossroad hamlets, and desolate farming settlements.
Spooky tales associated with many of these communities also suggest a more literal meaning to the term "ghost town."
Blending fascinating local history with mysterious local legends, this book explores the thin line between imagination and the paranormal.
About the Authors
Maria Da Silva has always had a passion for history and ghost stories. Though she came from a country (Portugal) that is full of history and the unknown, she never dreamed that her future would lead her into writing about the forgotten and the unexplained. Maria's work, co-authored with Andrew Hind, has appeared in publications such as Fate and Mystery Magazine.
Andrew Hind is a freelance writer who lives in Bradford, Ontario. His feature articles have appeared in magazines and newspapers across Canada, in the United States, and in England. Andrew developed a passion for history early on, especially for unusual and obscure events that are typically overlooked or quickly forgotten. He hopes, through his writing, to bring these fascinating stories to light for a modern audience.
