Prospective buyers can expect paranormal activity; plus, Canada’s most iconic restaurants through the years and more |
| This 192-year-old Lunenburg inn has a spooky reputation | | Tonight, a group of superstitious souls will gather outside of this blue-and-yellow Georgian mansion in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, to begin the last Haunted Lunenburg walking tour of the year. Participants will crane their necks toward the arched windows above the front door, hoping to catch a glimpse of the ghost who’s known to appear, gazing out forlornly. It’s a fitting starting point for the tour. The home was originally built by lawyer Charles Bolman in 1831 and is one of the oldest in the area. Over nearly two centuries, the property has served as a private home, doctor’s office, rooming house, and, most recently, the Mariner King Inn, a 14-room boutique hotel. Now, the spooky property is up for sale for $1.8 million, but prospective owners be warned: a healthy tolerance for the paranormal is strongly suggested. —Arisa Valyear, newsletter editor | | | | |
