The Ghost Light is burning.

This week, the stories of Sherbrooke Village step into the shadows once again.

To celebrate the start of Autumn-- Ghost Tours will lead you beyond the familiar streets and into a darker side of the Village — where old tragedies linger, strange stories take shape, and not everything from the past is content to stay there.

The Ghost Light burns as both effigy and shield.
