Upcoming Haunted Story of the Month

Buck Hill , Round Lake, Ontario

Do you believe in urban legend or folklore? One of the most interesting cases is Buck Hill. We don’t know where the story originated this is why haunted Ottawa members will be researching its local story to know where it originated from.

If the story is too good to be true, someone has been falling it for years. There are stories in the paranormal world that make it rounds and send paranormal investigators out searching in vain for a ghost of a ghost.

Even the most experience paranormal investigators can be fooled about these stories. An even cynical Researcher can sometime s be heard uttering a story whose words have been repeated over and over for decades. It’s not their faults entirely. The legend is too neat and makes too much sense. Haunted Ottawa in the next few months will take time to research this famous “buck hill” legend, so please be patient, and we will make it ”our own.”

All Paranormal Investigators follow a similar pattern. We research a prospective location for investigation both online and at local libraries. We then base our investigation on what we find.  Such was the case with our research of the infamous Lisgar Collegiate. H.O.P.S. has always had an interest in this fascinating location and we did a thorough historical profile uncovering some interesting facts.

At Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society, we like to make our own “stories”. What we mean by this is, we do not “copy and paste”, we do our research and write our own biography on locations. After all, all stories are unique.

If you view our Local Haunted Locations link, you will find research obtained by our historical researcher on the history of Watson’s Mill and the timeless stories to which are still spoken.


WARNING!! “Read This”

There are several different groups (or more correctly individuals with web sites claiming to be official sounding groups) offering so-called “certification” in paranormal investigation. I have no problem with people taking these courses if they’ve thoroughly researched the provider and understand what they’re getting (or not getting as the case may be) – after all, I’m a strong believer in the free market and people’s freedom to spend their money as they see fit.

I believe some of these “certification” courses imply more than they can possibly deliver in terms of a real “certification” and some use marketing practices I consider often border on unethical. Caveat emptor, buyer beware, strongly applies when it comes to the paranormal “certification” or “degree” business. READ MORE….
