Benares Historic House — Attraction in Mississauga

[just posted photos separately] I'd suggest all to book the tour, it's free (pls donate), and the lady was very good! We were only one family of 4, but she still did a nice tour and explain everything!

Now, the important point, this house felt like mildly haunted. I didn't feel anything sold (like I did in the old house in Bronte Creek Provincial Park, which is a proven haunted house). However, several indications were there in this old house as well:

a. The old lady portrait, her eyes were too vivid, it felt like she was watching, and she was not happy that someone disturbed the house b. The was given to Ontario to preserve as a museum, no one is living there for the last 50+ years c. Darkness under the house, you can see it, and you can feel it, there's something hiding there d. Basement, cold room, the floor is not finished, and if you look carefully, you will see some prints e. Player Piano, not sure if it plays itself at midnight, didn't stay that long to figure out

Anyway, Halloween is here, good to go there and take a look, share if you can find more proofs. BTW, if you have weak heart, and too scared to watch scary movies, think twice before...

Due to the rain and our late arrival at the museum, the steam punk event wasn't as awesome as we'd hoped, but another attendee whom we meet in the parking lot leaving raved about the music he'd heard, so mostly our fault for timing, I suspect. There were quite a few cool steam punkers (if that's a word), like the man on stilts and penny farthing biker. I will definitely try to make it back if they run this event next year; my four year old daughter didn't know what to think-which is exactly the perfect reaction to the event. The museum staff was amazing. Friendly and thoughtful, very welcoming and easy to talk to. The house has lots of interesting memorabilia and is quite accessible. It was clear that the museum is working hard to be relevant and I am going to check out their Facebook page for...

What a great surprise! My partner and I took our 3 year old here last Sunday and it happened to be a kids craft day. Our daughter enjoyed making a necklace before we went on our tour of the Benares house.

Our tour guide Marika (I’m not sure how to spell her name) was an absolute delight! She was so passionate and informative which made it engaging and interesting to learn about. I loved the tour and all the little details in the home. Our 3 year old also enjoyed the home and all the things to look at.
