The Most HAUNTED Prisons in Canada (Some Are Still Open)
Canada has a dark side most people never hear about. Beneath hospitals, under public squares, behind luxury condos, and inside buildings still operating today are some of the most disturbing prison histories in Canadian history. In this video, we explore Canada’s most haunted prisons — from the infamous Kingston Penitentiary to the terrifying Don Jail, the historic Carleton County Jail, the still-operating Bordeaux Jail, and the notorious BC Penitentiary. Some of these prisons closed decades ago. Others are still holding inmates right now. Many are considered among the most haunted places in Canada. This documentary dives deep into real Canadian prison history, executions, riots, unsolved deaths, paranormal encounters, Indigenous history, abandoned prisons, and forgotten stories buried beneath modern cities. From secret dungeons in Montreal to ghost sightings inside former execution chambers in Ottawa and Toronto, these are not urban legends — many of the events in this video are documented in government archives, prison reports, RCMP investigations, and historical records. Featured locations include: • Stony Mountain Institution • Headingley Correctional Centre • Lower Fort Garry • Old Montreal Dungeon • Pied-du-Courant Prison • Fort Saskatchewan Jail • Oakalla Prison Farm • Dorchester Penitentiary • Kingston Penitentiary Inside this video: Canada’s last executions and public hangings The real story behind Patrick James Whelan and the Ottawa Jail Hostel ghost sightings Hidden prison cemeteries and unmarked graves across Canada The terrifying 1971 Kingston Penitentiary Riot The brutal 1996 Headingley prison riot The disturbing history of executions at Bordeaux Jail Why Parks Canada officially acknowledges ghost stories at Lower Fort Garry The abandoned dungeon beneath Old Montreal Why construction crews discovered human remains behind the Don Jail in 2007 Canadian prison riots, escapes, executions, and paranormal encounters that still haunt these buildings today If you’re interested in haunted places in Canada, dark Canadian history, abandoned prisons, Canadian true crime, paranormal documentaries, ghost stories, urban legends, prison history, creepy Canadian locations, or unsolved historical mysteries, this video is for you.
