A 15 minutes car ride from downtown is necessary
to find the final cache location.
The Bytown museum
Built in 1827 as a storehouse and a treasury during the
construction of the Rideau Canal is the oldest stone structure of
the city. It is reputed to be one of the most haunted buildings in
Ottawa. Many ghosts have been reported haunting the building.
On the third floor, baby’s cries have been heard coming from the
dolls exhibit.
The ghost of Duncan McNab is frequently sighted on the three
floors of the museum. McNab, a commissary officer during the
Canal’s construction, had a reputation of a trickster. In his
afterlife, he still plays tricks to the employees and visitors of
the museum. People claimed earring footsteps following them on the
stairs leading to the first floor. When they stopped, the footsteps
continued and stopped just behind them. No one else was there.
Items in locked displays are moved overnight, televisions are
turned on or off without human intervention.
Some claim that the ghost of the Colonel By is there too.
Arguments between Colonel By and McNab have been heard. Employees
avoid moving too much the Colonel’s belonging in an exhibit after
an angry voice yelled at one of them “Get out! Get out! Get out!”
while they were working on it.
The most violent sightings are coming from the vault at the end
of the first floor. There have been reports of people being push,
grabbed or tripped in the tight confined space.
