Overview

There are few places more historic, charming, and haunted in Canada than Queen’s University. There are eerie tales of student grave robbers, professors reaching out from the beyond, heists gone wrong and streets shrouded in mystery. We’ve never told these stories before and can’t wait to share them with our guests. You won’t hear spine-tingling and heart-pounding tales like these on the regular campus tours. Join us for the Ghosts of Queen’s University and graduate with a degree in the supernatural!

    Fleming Hall (Pass By)

    Fleming Hall with its various wings honours several figures in Queen's history. The original building was named for Sir Sandford Fleming, who was a noted chancellor of Queen's. The other three honourees were all affiliated with Electrical Engineering, which was located in Fleming Hall until 1989. The Jemmett Wing is named for Douglas Mill Jemmett, who is a key player in a chilling ghost story we share.

    Summerhill (Pass By)

    Constructed in 1839, Summerhill was originally intended to be the country villa of Archdeacon George O’Kill Stuart. When Kingston became the capital of Canada, for a time it was used as a boarding house for the members of the Legislative Assembly. Queen’s purchased the building in 1854 and for many years it was the University's only building. It later housed the medical school - which used it for very macabre practices.

    Kingston General Hospital (Pass By)

    Kingston is home to many hospitals that are often used in training medical students studying at Queen’s University. Kingston General Hospital, in particular, was built in 1835. Unfortunately, once the original building was completed, there was no money left in the budget to purchase any furnishings, leaving the building standing empty for three years. The hospital has had numerous uses throughout its history, it even acted as Canada’s first temporary parliament building. We share ghost stories from two of Kingston's hospitals.

    One of the lesser-known haunts on the university campus is Dunning Hall. It’s a fairly newer building compared to some that we visited. Built in 1960, this modern stone building is the home of Queen’s Department of Economics and boasts some of the university’s largest lecture halls.
