Discover Barrie’s Haunted History with The Scary Company

Downtown Barrie may be known for its waterfront, restaurants and local shops, but once the sun goes down, the city’s spookier side begins to emerge.

I recently joined Scary Company for a guided ghost tour through downtown Barrie. The Scary Company offers both haunted and heritage tours that introduce guests to the stories, history and mysteries hidden throughout the city.

During the tour, we walked through the downtown streets while listening to spooky historical tales, local legends and stories connected to some familiar Barrie buildings and landmarks. It was an entertaining way to learn more about the city’s past, with just enough paranormal mystery to keep everyone watching the shadows a little more closely.

We were also given EMF readers to use throughout the evening. These devices detect changes in electromagnetic fields and are often used during paranormal investigations. Whether you are a firm believer in ghosts or simply curious, carrying an EMF reader definitely adds another fun and interactive element to the experience.

Our evening included a special offer at McFinn’s Pub, making it easy to turn the tour into a full night out in downtown Barrie. On the night we attended, we were also treated to a special gift from Garden of Earth Magic, which was a thoughtful surprise and a memorable way to end the experience.

The tour is a great option for a date night, an evening with friends or a unique local activity for anyone interested in history, storytelling and the paranormal. Even if you have lived in Barrie for years, you may discover stories about the city that you have never heard before.

The Scary Company also offers a Downtown Barrie Heritage Tour for those interested in exploring the city’s history without the haunted twist. Tour offerings, dates and additional experiences may vary, so check the company’s website for current information and booking details.
