Distillery Ghosts

collection

The Distillery district is considered to be one of Toronto’s most haunted locales, namely because of the tragedy of James Worts. One of the partners of whiskey company Gooderham & Worts, James would go on to commit suicide by drowning in one of the distillery’s vats short after the death of his wife, Elizabeth.
