Exploring Halifax's Haunted History: A Spooky Family Adventure
Discovering Haunted Halifax
As a local Haligonian, I always get excited when Fall rolls around because it means the spooky season is upon us. And what better way to embrace the ghosts and ghouls than by delving into Halifax's haunted history? With a mix of eerie tales, historical landmarks, and fun activities, this is a perfect family adventure for your visit to Halifax.
The Haunted Citadel
One of the must-visit spots on any ghost tour is the Halifax Citadel. This iconic fortress is said to be haunted by the spirits of soldiers who died in battle - their restless souls still roaming the grounds. Take a tour of the Citadel and listen to one of the ghost stories that have been passed down through the years. And if you're brave enough, join a ghost tour at night and explore the dark corners of the Citadel while hearing more chilling tales.
Ghosts of the Halifax Explosion
November 6th marks the anniversary of the Halifax Explosion - the largest artificial explosion of its time that devastated the city in 1917. It's no surprise that this event has left a chilling legacy, with many claiming to have experienced paranormal activity in the areas affected by the explosion. Visit the Halifax Explosion Memorial Bell Tower and pay your respects to the victims while learning about the untold stories of the afterlife that linger in the area.
Haunted Halifax Harbour
Halifax's busy and bustling harbour is also home to many ghostly tales. According to legend, Peggy's Cove lighthouse - one of the most photographed locations in Nova Scotia - is haunted by the ghost of a young woman who tragically died there. Explore the picturesque village and keep your eyes peeled for any paranormal activity, or hop on a boat tour and listen to more spooky stories while taking in the scenic views of the harbour.

If your kids are up for some spooky fun, be sure to check out the many family-friendly ghost activities in Halifax. From haunted escape rooms to ghost walks, there's something for everyone. And for some extra thrills, visit the Museum of Natural History and learn about local legends such as the ghost of the 'Oak Island Treasure' and the mysterious 'Lady in Black.'
