| Fort Erie - Looking
back - |
The name is very appropriate. The whole Fort and area around the Fort had a very
Erie feeling to it. I remember standing on the grounds thinking about all that
went on around me during battle and I kept getting the feeling that there was
still a fight going on. I knew that the track was going to be a good one before
Kenta or Kate even went in. The most memorable moment for me during this particular
episode, maybe one of the most memorable moments of the whole season actually,
was Kate's experience near the end of her track. She was outside of one of the
buildings and I didn't want to say anything at first, but I could
have sworn I saw a red orb flash across my monitor. Just after I saw that, Kate
began to get really emotional saying that there was a really bad presence around
her, something didn't feel right. Then she heard the scream and it escalated
from there. I really feel that we encountered one of our first angry spirits
that night and I have to hand it to Kate for being brave enough to face it head
on and come out an excellent ghost tracker.

| BERTIE HALL -
Looking back - |
Ahhh yes good old Bertie Hall. First and foremost the people of
Bertie Hall were great. While we were shooting the straw draw there was a good
40 people outside watching us film and getting autographs from me and the trackers.
They were all really nice people and It made us all feel really welcome. But
inside the house was a different feeling altogether. This house was creepy! Something
about dolls and doll houses in that kind of setting really spooks me. If that
wasn't scary enough, the basement added a whole other element of surprise to
the track. The fact that it was a part of the underground railroad (if you don't
know what that is, you should google it), made it all the more likely that there
would be some unsettled spirit activity there. And there was. Cassie was incredibly
intuitive picking up on exactly what had been reported in the past, and Izzi
may have actually come face to face with a ghost around one of the doll houses.
All in all, it was one of our favorite tracks this season.

| THE OPERA HOUSE -
Looking back - |
Ghost Tracking can sometimes be all about confirming stories.
If we know for a fact something has happened in a certain place, like if someone
died on a staircase or something, then any evidence we gather around that spot
is extra important. This happened in the Opera House. Tracker John managed to
get high reading around anything having to do with fire, such as the extinguishers
or hose which was weird because there was a huge tragic fire that killed a lot
of people. This is what good ghost tracking is all about. Both trackers did a
great job in this
place. And Orillia has some great people!

| CUSTOMS HOUSE -
Looking back - |
Hands down, in my opinion, the scariest place we've been to all season. Some
places just give me the heebie jeebies and this place gave me tons of heebies
and lots of jeebies. First up was Cassie, who always seems to have an amazing
intuition when it comes to what went on in any given haunted location. She was
true to form that night staying calm in some really scary situations and sensing
exactly what had gone on in this place in the past. But it was Kenta who experienced
the creepiest moment I can remember all season. In this building the trackers
had to travel down two floors using an old elevator to access the basement. Scary
enough, yes, but as Kenta passed by the first floor in the elevator, there was
an extremely loud bang coming from the other side of the elevator doors as if
someone was hitting it. We all heard it plain as day. Then it happened again
as he passed the next floor. It was intense. Kenta kept cool though and finished
his track. I'll never forget that though as long as I live.
