Built upon the blood money
it took to make it,

this evening's ghostly tale
sits Hilltop for all to see.

From accidental deaths,
to alleged intentional slayings.

Tonight, we will dive
into the past of one

of the oldest still-standing
estates in Canada.

[both]
Craigdarroch Castle.

[theme music]

[Luke] What are you
running from?

[Matthew] Don't stop!
Luke, it's a ghost!

[Luke] What do you mean?

Born in 1825, to a working-class
family in Scotland,

Robert Dunsmuir would go on
to become

one of the wealthiest men
of his generation,

leaving behind a castle
that would be coined

the most haunted
place in Canada.

In 1851,
at the age of 26,

Robert relocated to Canada
with his wife, Joan,

after receiving a job offer

for the Hudson Bay Company's
coal mine on Vancouver Island.

Which I did not know
had coal mines,

because I thought that
that was a retail store.

But I knew because it's the
Hudson's Bay Trading Company--

-Yeah.
-So, I knew it was something.

It was, like, trading
a lot of things.

But I didn't know
they had coal mines.

I'm gonna be honest.
Neither did I.

But then the coal mine
to retail store pipeline.

What does that look like?

We should ask Robert Dunsmuir.

-Well, he's dead.
-Oof.

Striking coal, Robert
discovered the Wellington Seam,

the richest coal deposit
in Nanaimo at the time.

The working conditions
in the mines were horrific.

All the negligence
would lead to several explosions

in the Wellington Mine,
killing 60 miners at once.

Despite the death,
Robert would finally be able

to build the home of his dreams,

a castle on the highest hill,

which overlooked
all of Victoria.

At the time of construction,

Robert was a prominent
politician and businessman,

and regardless of his infamy,
he was very successful.

The haunting of Robert Dunsmuir

is one of the most famous
ghost stories

in Canadian history.

The blood money used
to build this majestic home

seemed to have come
with an ungodly price.

As we head into our
investigation tonight,

we'll look
for the ghosts of a maid,

Joan, and Robert Dunsmuir,
all said to be bound

to this affluent home,
Craigdarroch Castle, in...

[both]
Victoria, British Columbia.

[upbeat music]

My name is Amanda Quill,
and I am the founder

and lead investigator
of Coldspotters Paranormal.

I really do look at more
than just the haunting,

more than just
what's scaring you.

Craigdarroch has a very strong
and vibrant history.

When Coldspotters
investigated here,

the feeling changed immediately.

Craigdarroch Castle
is 100% haunted.

When I was there,
I could feel,

like, a presence
lurking around.

If I went there at night,
I would be afraid.

There was a harshness
watching me.

I was not alone, you can still
hear them in the walls.

You can still hear them
walking up and down the stairs.

The spirits here
are very adamant

that they're going
to tell their story.

It's like the perfect storm
of ghosts.

?

Wow. There's a 10% chance
it's already raining.

Hmm. A haunted castle.

Now, what do we know who has
experience with one of these?

You rang?

[maniacal laughter]

[chuckles]

Hi, I'm Percy Hynes White,

and you might know me
from Wednesday.

[camera shutter clicking]

[laughs excitedly]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Um...

I don't know what to expect,
except to be spooked.

I don't know about scared,
though, I really don't think

when I'm goofing around
with Luke and Matthew

that I'm scared of things.

It's just too funny.

I haven't had
an experience with a ghost.

I don't know how
I would genuinely act

if I was genuinely
afraid for my life.

I have mismatched reactions
to things, like, I don't know.

I think it depends
on the moment.

Should I be scared?

[eerie music]

[door creaking]

[Luke] Oh, my God.

It's a rhinoceros.

-[Matthew] No. What is this?
-[Luke] What is that?

-[Matthew] That's a goat.
-It's a massive castle.

Weird vibes.

This, actually,
believe it or not,

is known as the most
haunted castle in Canada.

And it might actually be
the most haunted place

in the entire country, period.

What was the difference
between those two things?

[both] Well, one's a castle,
one's a haunted place.

[Matthew] So, it's for sure
the most haunted castle.

Yeah, so if the ghosts
don't show up tonight,

it's because
they just don't like us.

It's not because
they're not here.

It was built by the wealthiest
family in Canada

at the time, the Dunsmuirs.

Where there's money
and there's family,

there is also drama.

-Holy shit.
-Yeah.

Do you want to call out
to the ghosts to let them know

-you're here and coming in?
-Yes.

Spirits, be you good or evil,

I would like to announce my--
my presence in your home.

I am merely a boy from--
from the East Coast.

So be not afraid of me.

[Matthew snapping]
Wow. That was that was deep.

[Luke] Our first hot spot
for investigation

is the main staircase.

-[Percy] Whoa.
-[Matthew] Wow.

I'm, like, scared.

There is like,
four floors to the staircase.

[Luke] I know.
I want to go up them.

The most foreboding,
ominous vibe.

[eerie music]

[Matthew] Whoa.

Can you imagine, like,
back then, this used to be

like, a new house,
and they didn't even know

they were in a haunted house

-in the making?
-That's so true.

Does that mean that every house
is a haunted house

-in the making?
-Potentially.

That was so, like,
if you-- meta.

In 1890, the construction

of Craigdarroch Castle
would be completed.

The castle contained
over 35 rooms,

and took up over
25,000 square feet.

There's a rumour,
this is completely alleged,

but we think it may be true.

And that's what we want to get
to the bottom of here,

but not to the bottom
of the staircase,

like one of the maids did.

-Damn.
-I know.

Local lore states that a maid

was tirelessly running
up and down the stairs,

and on her final trip,
she slipped,

and fell off
the steps to her death.

However, another theory is that

Joan Dunsmuir, Robert's wife,

pushed the maid off the stairs,
killing her,

in order to prevent her
from exploiting

the family secrets
Joan believed she overheard.

If you got pushed

-right here...
-[Matthew] Yeah.

...you would just
hit the other one.

That actually gives me
a little bit of vertigo

-looking over that.
-I think if you go off that--

[Matthew] No, there's no way
you're surviving that.

You fall this, there's no way
you're surviving that.

[Luke] You could survive that.

I think you're underestimating
gravity.

-Let's test it.
-I'm--

If they were from Scotland,
why is there British flags?

I mean, don't you have,
like, American flags?

No.

-You don't?
-Why would I have that?

-Well, you-- you love America.
-Who said that?

Why is there an evil
throne up here?

[Matthew] Wow,
that is a big chair.

[Luke] What do we think
they did here?

[Percy] This is where they would
sit and make everyone grovel.

-What's a grovel?
-Give me an example.

Grovelling is like, I would say,

that they would line up
on their knees, and then,

like, it's like when you,
like, kiss the shoes.

[Matthew] Have you grovelled,

-or been grovelled to before?
-God, no.

Guests of the castle
have reported seeing

the apparition of a woman,
said to be the maid,

walking up and down these stairs
forever looking for a way out.

-We do have a tool.
-A tool.

We have a tool.

An SLS Cam is a tool

used to catch the apparition
of a ghost on camera.

What it will do
is it will show a ghost--

It'll show a ghost?

Maybe they're just waiting
for somebody

to come and grovel
at their feet.

You know?

-[Percy chuckling]
-What do I do now?

You're in grovelling position.

-What do I do?
-[Matthew] Like, beg.

I'm in a position all right.

You're such a great person.

You give back
to the community.

You donated on my GoFundMe,
and I really appreciate it.

This is more like complimenting,
not even grovelling.

Groveling is more,
like, pathetic.

Yeah, like, lower yourself.

I-- I am disgusting.

-[spooky music]
-[Percy] Whoa! Yo!

-[Matthew gasps]
-We got some activity there.

Luke.

-Yeah, keep grovelling.
-[Luke] I am irrelevant.

-Yep.
-I am embarrassing.

[Matthew] Oh, my God.

[Percy] Man, there's
some shit in that chair.

There's, like, a hand on here.

It's like somebody is there.
Oh, my God.

[Percy] Look ma'am,
I'm really sorry about

what happened to you,
and I'm just hoping

we can get a little bit more
insight into your story.

Do you want me
to fall off the stairs?

-[Percy laughing]
-Thou shall not...

cry, me-- um, it--

[Percy laughing] Take this tool.

[Matthew] Our second hotspot
for investigation

is the dressing room
on the second floor.

[creepy music]

-[Matthew] Oh, my gosh.
-[Luke] Okay, what is this?

[Percy] I don't know.

-I think it's hair.
-[Matthew] No, that's a thing,

they used to make portraits
out of people's hair.

?

Strange, strange energy.

Feeling a little weird.

There's a lot of strange
objects I don't recognize.

I'm in a strange place.
I feel afraid.

[Matthew] Are those maracas?

[Percy] I think
they're baby rattles, dude.

[Matthew] Oh, baby rattles.
That's what it is.

I literally thought that
was two different-sized douches.

-No, that's me and you.
-Yeah. [Matthew laughs]

[Luke] Joan Dunsmuir
was born in 1828,

in Ayrshire, Scotland.

When Robert passed away,

Joan became the sole
inheritor of his estate.

This made Joan
one of the richest women

in the country,

and she did
whatever it would take

in order to maintain
the Dunsmuir family name.

[Matthew] In 1908,
Joan passed away in the castle,

and it's said
her spirit never left.

This was Joan's dressing room.

Joan lived to be 80 years old,

which for the time,
that is, like,

far exceeding life expectancy.

So she was really
gripping onto her wealth,

onto her family, her status,

until the very day
that she died.

Visitors have reported
the spirit

of Joan Dunsmuir
to be in this very room.

With accounts of banging,
and objects moving,

as if trying to reclaim
their personal space

by keeping people out.

She doesn't like people around.

She will let you know.

She will make you feel
uncomfortable

in any way she can tell you
what she thinks.

[Matthew]
An EMF detector is a tool

used to measure
the presence of a ghost.

Okay. Anything?

[Percy] Nothing yet.

No. Ooh!

-Oh, that was a little tap.
-[Matthew] A little tap.

Okay, yeah,
it does pick up on that.

Hey, does that baby
have any energy?

-No, man.
-No?

Should we try something else?

The Ovilus 5
let's spirits communicate

using phonetic sounds and words.

-What the fuck?
-So, I'm gonna put it on,

and it will work
pretty fast, right away.

[electronic voice] R-S-08.

-Maybe move this.
-Okay.

Is there anyone in here
who wishes to speak with us?

[spooky music]

[Percy] Any spirits
in the room right now?

Joan, do you miss your kids?

[electronic voice]

-"Are."
-Are-- Are-- Are what?

-[electronic voice]
-"Are you..."

-Are we what?
-[electronic voice]

-"Eh."
-"Gay. Are you gay?"

It literally just said,
"Are you gay?"

Yeah, Joan. Do you care?

Do you have a problem
with homosexuals?

[Matthew] That just spiked.

Joan... [laughs]

Homophobia is not cool,

like, this is not the way
to do things.

Joan...

I'm the least gay
out of the three of us,

so maybe if--

[Matthew and Percy chucking]

Is that why
you killed that maid?

-She was a lesbian.
-That's what I'm wondering.

Oh, my God.

Did you have
an affair with the maid,

and needed to kill her
to get rid of the evidence?

Joan, do you want
to come out to us?

Just hit me baby,
one more time.

I mean, "Pink Pony Club"
has been in my head

-this whole time.
-Is this on?

[Matthew] What do you mean,
is it on? It's on.

-Yeah, she just spoke to us.
-But is it, is it--

She said-- [imitating machine]
"Are you gay?"

[Matthew laughing]

[laughs] And then she went zip.

Okay. Joan.

Are you a lesbian?

[Percy] Just, let's ask her
less aggressively.

We can't force someone
out of the casket.

[Percy] This room used
to belong to a woman named Joan.

Is that you?

Why is it that when we said
we were gay she stopped talking?

That's literally what
I'm mad at her about.

[Luke] Our third hotspot
for investigation

is the drawing room
on the main floor.

[Luke] Ooh, la, la.

[Matthew] Oh, wow.

[Percy] Reminds me
of my grandmother's home.

[Matthew] Oh, my God.

Headless children.

[Matthew] Oh, that's creepy.

Why do they have those?

They don't have eyes,
but they're staring

directly at me.

Construction for the castle
began in 1887,

and would not be completed
until 1890.

However, Robert Dunsmuir
would sadly pass away

before completion,
and never lived to see

the physical manifestation
of his wealth.

Robert Dunsmuir was the dad.

He was the guy
who owned the coal mines.

He was like,
"Yo, I am so rich."

-He said that?
-Yep. Direct quote.

And I quote,
"I'm so rich." End quote.

Actually, he said, quote,

"I'm so rich. We ball."
-"We ball."

His son, James.

He was like, "James, I need you
to hang out at the mines.

Like, watch the mines.

I gotta go, like,
the rich and ball."

But how old
was James at the time?

-He was a teenager.
-A teenager.

Like, he could not handle
this responsibility.

So, his teenage son was in
charge of these dangerous mines.

The mine explodes.
Hundreds of people die.

-Fuck.
-All of that money...

built this house.

It's believed
that since Robert

never lived in this house,

he wanders the property,
looking for a way in.

People say that they hear

a phantom piano play
throughout the house.

Like that piano there!

[Matthew] Like this piano,
right here.

With experiences of hauntings
dating as far back

as to when the Dunsmuirs
occupied the home,

paranormal investigators
and visitors report

seeing the apparition
of Robert Dunsmuir

standing outside the castle,

through the windows
of the drawing room.

So, Robert is often seen
on the front lawn.

Standing there,
trying to find his way in.

But you can't see him
when you're outside.

[Luke] Only from the inside.

So we're going
to split up, and Matthew

has another weird, little toy.

[Matthew] A REM Pod is a tool

that will detect
the presence of a ghost.

-[phone rings]
-Hello?

So, right now,
can you see a man?

Yeah, no, I can't.
I can't see a man.

Robert, come out,
come out wherever you are.

Beckon him
to come into his home.

Look, Robert, I know
that the afterlife is scary.

I just want to let you down
gently, man,

and just let you know that...

no matter how hard you try,

you will never
get into this house.

Does that make you feel sad,
or-- or do you--

[REM Pod beeping
different tones]

[Matthew] I think that
makes him feel really sad.

Hey, Robert.
Do you feel, like, remorse?

Do you ever feel
like you might be, like,

responsible for
all those people's deaths,

for putting your son
in charge of the mine?

[Matthew] Great question.

[Luke] He's like,
"I don't feel bad

for a fuckin second, bitch."

Do you wish
that you made a little bit

more money in your lifetime?

-[REM Pod beeping]
-[Matthew gasping]

[Luke] There is no
way this is working.

Robert man, honestly,
all that stuff I said--

Percy, Percy.

Are you standing next
to Luke and Matthew?

[rapid beeping]

-[Luke laughs]
-Percy's face.

[REM Pod beeping]

Are you next to Luke?

I'm Luke.

-[REM Pod beeping]
-[Percy laughing]

-[Luke groans]
-Yeah, do the move.

Eh!

[Percy] Robert,
does he smell good?

[rapid beeping]

He likes what you're wearing.

It's Dove deodorant.

Out of curiosity,
can you just play, like,

touch the piano,
like, hit a few keys?

And I wanna see
if this goes off.

[Matthew] We should be able
to hear it from out here.

[Percy] Let me know
if you like this. Okay?

Beep if you like this.

[playing chords]

[rapid beeping]

It's going crazy.
Keep going. Keep going.

[machine playing
different tones]

-[Percy playing piano]
-[rapid beeping]

-[playing chords]
-[machine beeping tones]

Wait Percy, stop playing.

-[chords ring out]
-[machine beeping]

[music and beeping stops]

It legitimately stopped
right when you stopped playing.

[spooky music]

That concludes
our investigation

into Craigdarroch Castle.

And now it's time to decide

if this location
is truly haunted.

Or not.

[Matthew] In Hotspot One,
the staircase,

the apparition of a maid
is reported by visitors

to wander up and down the stairs
looking for a way out.

-There was no maid.
-Okay.

We did not see a woman
walking up and down the stairs.

You know what,
I will agree with you

in the fact
that with our own eyes,

we may not have seen a maid
walking up and down the stairs.

But with our SLS camera,
we clearly caught an apparition.

I am disgusting.

We saw the lines of the lines
as I was on the floor.

Do I invoke
an emotional reaction

-from other forces?
-Yes.

That doesn't help my case.
So let's redact, let's redact.

-The report is...
-Yeah.

...there's a woman that
goes up and down the stairs.

-Mm-hmm.
-That did not happen, Diva.

In Hotspot Two,
the dressing room,

the spirit of Joan Dunsmuir
is reported

by paranormal experts
to bang on the walls,

and move objects
around the room,

as if trying to keep people
out of her personal space.

What I'm going to say
is I think there was a force

very plausibly, Joan,

trying to keep us
out of that room.

I did not hear banging,
nor did objects fly around.

-Yeah.
-I did feel victimized.

Do you have a problem
with homosexuals?

[Matthew] That just spiked.

So, for the sake of the lore,

and the comedy,
and the livelihood,

and the playfulness
of this moment,

I could entertain
for a second of the fact

that there was
a homophobic entity.

I think we did prove
that Joan was there,

and we were, in fact,
speaking with her.

She had a few
off-colour remarks,

and she was clearly trying
to get us out of her space.

Who says things
like "off-colour remarks?"

Me. I'm a 45-year-old
Southern housewife.

In Hotspot Three,
the drawing room,

the spirit of Robert Dunsmuir
is said to be outside,

looking into his home
through the window,

forever trying
to find a way inside.

The timing of things was fun,

but we did not catch
his apparition,

the apparition
of Robert Dunsmuir,

standing outside, through
the window, trying to get in.

That did not happen.
It didn't.

I'll say this,

Robert Dunsmuir's spirit
is said to show up

when music is playing.

-Which we did.
-Percy was playing the music.

We had our REM Pod,
and Luke held his arm out

and said, "Robert,
which side of me are you on?"

And when he held his arm out,
the REM Pod went instantly...

-[Luke groans]
-[rapid beeping]

...proving that though you may
not be able to see Robert,

his spirit was absolutely
standing beside you,

looking right
into the drawing room,

where he's always claimed to be.

Percy playing the piano,
and then,

the thing stopping at the same
time was interesting.

-Stop playing.
-[rapid beeping]

[beeping stops]

But based on the ghost story

of Robert Dunsmuir
being outside,

he was not there.

We were outside shaking ass,

but there was no man there.

[director]
The million dollar question

is do you think
Craigdarroch Castle is haunted?

The Ghosting verdict...

...of our paranormal
investigation...

...into Craigdarroch Castle...

...is...

Um.

-...not haunted.
-...haunted!

Of course it's haunted,
Luke, it's literally

the most haunted
place in the country.

I think that
Castle Craigdarroch is...

haunted.

We had footage
on the SLS camera.

We heard Joan
through the Ovilus,

and then we had
a conversation with Robert

using the REM pod outside.

To me, that's a triple check
across the board,

to make Castle Craigdarroch

one of the most haunted
places in Canada.

It's definitely
the most haunted place

that I've been to in Canada.

That's for dang sure.

I wish someone would push me
down a flight of stairs.

Oh, can I volunteer?

Oh, and just like that,
another crime uncovered.

See you next time, Ghosties.
