Sue Darroch and Matthew Didier's Paranormal Blog

Each Friday we will have a look at the stories and experiences that have been related to us over the years that are amongst our personal favourites. These will include Crypto, Ghosts, Hauntings, UFO's, and other strange events that may be considered Fortean, from in around the Toronto, Canada area .... and since they are from our own personal files will likely not be found elsewhere on the web .... enjoy!

Private Residence - Sumach St, Toronto, Ontario

"My mother lived on Sumach St. in Cabbagetown about 40 years ago.

There were many strange happenings in the home, such as the front door opening on its own in the winter time, and a man was seen standing in the hallway, and then he had seemed to of vanished. My grandmother looked out the front door to see if she could see him there and she could not. She was also disturbed that there were not any footprints in the deep snow that the man would have made going up to the door.

Another time, my Mom and her siblings were running in a circle through their living and dining room doorways when my Mom ran through what she said was the apparition of a man standing in the doorway.

My mother also remembers that when they first moved into the house that they always heard a baby crying in the back room located off of the kitchen.

Later, my grandfather removed that room, making the kitchen larger and the baby was not heard again. I would be interested to hear if anyone else experienced strange happenings in this house."

Our thanks to our reader for the above report. Over the past ten years we have received many reports from Sumach street. In fact when pressed once about which location in the city was considered the most haunted, we actually determined that of all the neighbourhoods in Toronto or any one particular street for that matter, we have received the most reports by far from this wonderfully historic location. There is definitely something ghostly about Sumach street....
