Haunted Walk's Nightmare Before (and After) Christmas Tour

The Ghosts of Christmas Past are calling! Step into the shadows of the festive season, where lantern light flickers, snow falls softly and stories linger through the long nights. From chilling winter folklore to ghostly yuletide legends, you'll follow a darker thread woven through the season's cheer. Most of the tour takes place inside the dimly lit Bytown Museum, one of Ottawa's oldest and most haunted buildings. Once inside, you'll learn why some Haunted Walk guides are too frightened to lead tours of the museum, even at Christmas time. Warm lights, spooky seasonal chills, and a night of festive fright you won't soon forget. December 5, 6, 13, 20 and 27 to 30, 2025.
