They're the tales that give you goose bumps and get your heart racing! Canadians love a good ghost story, and there are plenty to be found across Canada. Many of these hair-raising stories are based on real-life stories and people—people like Patrick Whelan, who was hanged for the 1868 assassination of Thomas D'Arcy McGee, a Father of Confederation. Some claim to have seen his ghost appear in his old jail cell at the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel, said to be one of the most haunted buildings in Canada. The former prison turned hostel is the setting for a fun ghost story that unfolds on this lenticular piece. Its first image sets the mood with an eerie evening tour of the former prison… but tilt the coin and suddenly, you'll encounter a ghost too!
