Tomorrow is the beginning of October, a month where we celebrate ghosts, goblins and spirits. There are many Toronto Halloween events that will put you in a frightful mood including Toronto’s newest Halloween attraction: Spooky Lagoon’s Toronto Island Stories: Murder at the Lighthouse. (We’re giving away two tickets to Toronto Island Stories…see giveaway details below.)


You’ll get spooked as you go back in time on the Toronto Island Stories’ narrated boat ride, recounting the Toronto Islands’ early history when there were 10,000 summer residents. You’ll hear about the murder of John Paul Radelmüller – Gibraltar Point Lighthouse’s most famous keeper. Storytellers dressed in costumes from the early 1900s, will help passengers disembark and guide them up to the old lighthouse to the site where it is said Radelmüller’s remains were found.

Learn about a 107-year-old sunken ship that you can ride today, Babe Ruth, Hurricane Hazel, and diving horses. You’ll visit the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse and learn all about Toronto’s famous ghost, J.P. Radelmüller.

  1. My kids are crazy about minions, paw patrol and transformers. I ghink adults may steer towards Jigsaw related costumes (either killer or victims) with the new movie coming out in October.
