Haunted Manotick

MANOTICK Sun. April 19th, 2009.

Manotick is a small town outside of Ottawa. We visited Watson's Mill. The picture above I took and it looks to me like a figure of a woman. It may not be. It could be anything, but that's what it resembles.
The miller's wife, Ann Crosby died there when she was in her early 20's. There are 2 theories as to how she died. One is her skirt got caught in some of the milling equipment and pulled her down and she got crushed.
The other theory is something fell on her and crushed her.
Maybe she is the one in the picture.?!

The mill has a couple floors and is a working museum. They still make flour. The building has stone walls and wood floors. I love the way it looks in there. The attic is dark. I didn't get any odd feeling s or anything but as I was going up the stairs, one of the camera's I was holding started flashing.

The basement was by far the coolest and freakiest area of the building. There is a split level and if you go down more you can see turbines and the water coming in. Another lady in the group took a picture down there and it looks like she captured a little boy figure hiding under the stairs. And it would make sense if what the tour guide told us was true: that a boy spirit hides down there and plays hide and seek with people. Remember kids worked in these places and died there as well.

Anyways great place. I'd recommend it!!
