Ghosts & Home Renovations

Since the availability to the average consumer of reasonably priced power tools such as festool many people have been taking on house renovation projects on their own. The question we are often asked in regards is "do renovations stir up ghostly activity?" Many people feel so, and this historic (circa 1817) house may be yet another case of this.

McIntosh-Ridley House

According to John Robert Colombo's Mysteries of Ontario, during the 1989 renovations, workmen claimed they heard "cries" over their own power tools and experienced one of the most 'common' type of reported poltergeist behaviour with things going "missing" only to turn up in strange and weird spots later.

Were spirits 'disturbed' by the work? Could be... Has there been any other reports either more recent or from before 1989? That's, hopefully, where you come in!

We are looking for more reports from the house. If you have anything to add or share about McIntosh-Ridley house or anywhere else in the Belleville area, please e-mail our researcher for Belleville at brendag AT ontarioghosts.org
