What do public education

and public execution
have in common?

We're about to find out

as we venture into
one of the oldest

and most haunted schools
in all of Canada.

[both] Lunenburg Academy.

[eerie music]

[Luke] What are you
running from?

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

[Luke] What do you mean?

As one of the earliest
settlements in Canadian history,

the town of Lunenburg comes
with a dark and sinister past,

making it one of Canada's
most haunted locations.

The first hangings in Lunenburg
took place in 1761,

just eight years after
the town was established.

On a hilltop overlooking
farmland and shoreline,

the location became
the town's Gallows Hill.

In the 1860s,
the Council of Lunenburg

wanted to create a school big
enough for all of its children,

and when they looked for
land to build the school on,

they realized the town
already owned a large plot.

The town opened its doors
to its first academy,

built on the land
of Gallows Hill.

So to be clear,
they built a children's school

on a mass execution site,

which by this time
was also used as a cemetery.

And they thought,
"Ha! What a great idea."

As we head back to class,

we'll look for
the spirits of a teacher,

a young girl, and a murderer,

all said to haunt the eerie
halls of Lunenburg Academy in...

[both] Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

[electronic music]

-I'm Lomar Mendz.
-And I'm Chelsey Lacelle.

We are paranormal investigators

based out of Halifax,
Nova Scotia.

We document the untold stories
of the province here,

the hidden paranormal gems.

[Chelsey] Lunenburg holds
a lot of paranormal history.

The Lunenburg Academy is
kind of like a gothic castle.

When you walk into the doors,
it feels like you've entered

a portal and you have
energy just surrounding you.

The Lunenburg Academy
is definitely haunted.

Some folks have seen
someone standing in the window.

I feel a presence there.
It is spooky.

When the building
is completely closed,

we've seen shadows
within the windows.

You're gonna feel something,
you're gonna hear something.

It's not a positive energy.

School may be out, but these
hallways are anything but empty.

?

This looks like a school
that witches would go to.

-Ooh. Did you attend here?
-No, I'm a bitch, not a witch.

-Oh! So close.
-So close.

High school, it's the most
chaotic four years of your life.

There's only one person
who can help us navigate this.

?

Welcome to where
nightmares are made.

Hey, I'm Nikki Roumel,

and you may know me
from Ginny & Georgia.

[camera shutter clicking]

-Oh, my gosh. Whew!
-[producer] That's a wrap.

Got that done.
Okay, let's go. [laughs]

Okay,
so I'm super, super open-minded.

I've never personally had
an experience with paranormal.

I totally believe people
when they do.

Am I scared at all?
I would say...

I-- Okay, no.

I would love to be
possessed by a ghost.

I'm definitely not afraid
of making friends with ghosts.

Making friends with living
people is absolutely terrifying.

[ominous music]

-This is it.
-Whoa.

[Luke] Hello!

Why does this
look like the Titanic?

You know what
I found out recently?

What, Luke?
What did you find out?

My great-uncle
died on the Titanic.

-That's so sad.
-Okay.

This is the oldest school
in Nova Scotia.

But this is so much more
than a school.

Before this school was here,

this is where you would be
hung and disposed of.

And now people
just hang out here.

But why would you build it here?

-'Cause school's a nightmare.
-Yeah.

It's big, it's old,

and it feels like
a lot went down.

[Luke] Our first hotspot
for investigation

is the classroom
on the main floor.

?

Who are these divas?

-The Queens of England?
-[Luke] Oh, okay.

Lunenberg Academy has
been around long enough

to experience the evolution of
different disciplinary methods.

Today we see a classroom
as a civilized space.

But this wasn't always the case.

Okay, Nikki, speak to us here.
What are you feeling vibe-wise?

[Nikki] I'm definitely
feeling the spookiness.

-[creaking]
-Wait, did you hear that?

I did hear a little creak.

You heard a little creak
from over there, right?

-[Nikki] Yeah.
-But you think it

could've been someone.
Is someone back there?

[Nikki] Hello, hello!

And it was Jeremy. [laughing]

We're gonna hold a class
as we teach you.

It's strange.
It's, like, more old-fashioned.

I'm the teacher.

-Sit and shut up!
-Sorry.

If you were to guess what this
room is, what would you guess?

-Um, a classroom.
-You crushed it.

Wow. Passing with
flying grades right now.

[Luke] So, at the time
that the school was built,

this was back in the time
where the teachers could, like,

whip you, hit you,
slap you, dunce hat.

And in this room,
the childs were in fact

abused by a male teacher.

-You stand up.
-Oh, it's my turn

-to teach the lesson?
-Yeah.

-Oh, okay, okay.
-Thank you.

I've actually prepared
for this assignment.

Paranormal investigators report
the apparition of an angry man,

said to be a male teacher,
residing over this classroom.

People still see
his spirit to this day.

He's been heard
yelling at people

and telling them
to get out because

he doesn't like anybody in
his space touching his things.

-So you better behave.
-[Matthew] Yeah.

[Luke] Or else.

[slams desk]

[Matthew] An Onvoy
allows ghosts to communicate

with visual cues and sayings.

Six predetermined emotions.

But do you still
ask it questions?

Yeah, yeah. And you can see its,
like, emotional response to it.

I heard a rumour that you
weren't a very good teacher.

Have you ever beaten a student?

-Oh! That's sad.
-Sad.

It's sad that it beat
a student, or, like, sad,

-like, "No, I didn't"?
-That we think that?

How do you feel
about your students?

-He felt angry!
-Angry!

He's literally described
as being an angry teacher.

You think we should
switch to yes or no now

to figure out
some more questions?

-Okay.
-[Nikki] Okay.

Are you angry
that we're in here?

-[Matthew gasps] Yes.
-Yes.

Do you condone violence?

-Yes?
-It just said yes.

So he's angry we're here,
and he condones violence.

-Oh! Yes again.
-That was a double yes.

Oh!

Our second hotspot
for investigation

is the music room
on the third floor.

-[Luke] Oh, my God.
-[Matthew] Whoa.

[Nikki] Is this supposed to be,
like, a theatre?

Like, performing?

When Lunenburg Academy
was in operation,

the third floor was primarily
used for drama, arts, and music.

[Nikki] Whoa!

[playing notes]

-Wait, how'd you do that?
-[Nikki] How did I do it?

-Say something about the ghost.
-Um...

This is one of the scariest
ghosts we've ever hunted.

[ominous note playing]

I feel terrified.

So before it was this school,

there was another school
that burnt down.

There's one girl who--

Her story gets
so sick and twisted.

[ominous note playing]

Her name was Sophia.

Sophia was an apprentice
at a local dressmaker's shop

when one day, as the owner
was counting the till,

they discovered $10 was
missing from the register.

The owner immediately
accused Sophia of theft,

which back then
was a lethal crime.

She said,
"I did not steal this money.

Someone is setting me up."
And they said, "You did it."

The entire town turned on her,
including her family,

but she was adamant that
she did not steal the money.

But eventually
she took her own life.

When she died,
a boy came forward

and said,
"I took the money. I did it."

Her grave is in
this plot right here.

-[Matthew] Yeah.
-And on her tombstone,

it literally says,
"Falsely accused.

She died of a broken heart."

This is all sad and everything,

but guess who's
in this room with us?

Can she get revenge?

Guests and investigators
report the sound

of a young girl
singing and crying.

Many suspect this to be
the spirit of Sophia,

and it's said
she haunts this room,

trying to experience the
normal childhood she never got.

We have a tool that will
help us communicate with Sophia.

A portal box removes static

and amplifies
paranormal communication

when using radio frequencies.

[portal box drones]

This is what I sound like
when I'm crying.

Oh. Hi, Sophia.

Are you here?

[static buzzes]

Are you buried
in this graveyard?

Sophia, we heard that you
like to sing nursery rhymes.

Can you maybe get us to
a nursery rhyme or a lullaby?

I can't make anything of it,
if I'm being honest.

Sophia, girl, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, we heard what happened.
We know you're innocent.

[static buzzes]

Boo.

-Dare I say...
-It's not working.

I mean, I knew this was
gonna be temperamental,

but this is ridiculous.

-Oh, let's try AM.
-[static crackling]

I have opened the gates of hell,
and a demon!

[static crackling]

Do you know what the Titanic is?

Oh, no.

-I--
-Please! [exclaims]

Why it so loud?
This is, like, not giving.

[Luke] Our third hotspot for
investigation is the basement.

?

[Nikki] Whoa.

Oh, my God! I swear there's
a fucking bug touching me.

?

Wait, are these desks?

[Nikki] Look how old this is.

So these were
all in the classroom?

-[Matthew] Wow.
-Feels colder,

and it's definitely giving...

It is giving spooky vibes.

[Luke]
During the Gallows Hill era,

people were executed
for all kinds of crime.

Some we wouldn't even consider
crime today,

like witchcraft
or talking back to a man.

In the history
of Lunenburg Academy,

there's always been
a tale of one thing:

-something is in the basement.
-[Matthew] Mm-hmm.

That brings us to a man

-named Peter Mailman.
-Really?

Yeah. Yeah, that is his,
uh, real last name.

He married Mary.
She had a daughter,

but the daughter
did not like Peter.

Mary and Peter
get into a huge fight,

and the daughter is like,
"You need to leave him."

And she goes,
"We're gonna go talk about it.

We're gonna go apple picking.

When we get back,
everything will be fine."

That night, Peter came home
with a basket of berries, alone.

Angelina asked
where her mother was,

and Peter said
she was helping a friend.

Angelina dug through
her father's things,

finding her mother's dress
and shoes in his bed.

[Luke] Lo and behold,
they search the forest,

and in a hole of a tree
is her with an axe in her back,

covered in blood,
and he had killed her.

And they hung him right here

where this basement
would've been.

We've actually
encountered him multiple times

on the ground outside,
on- and off-camera.

Students and staff,
visitors and investigators

have all reported
the unsettling feeling

of being touched, watched.

Many people believe this to be
the spirit of Peter Mailman.

People claim
to see his apparition

wandering around
in his basement.

And he specifically
only attacks women.

-Wow.
-Lomar had a great idea

of putting me alone down there.

I was blindfolded
and I was handcuffed,

and all of a sudden, I feel this
burning sensation

on my lower calf,

and I had a handprint of someone
grabbing right above my shoe.

Does any of that
do anything for you?

What was going through my mind
is that, like...

really would love
to go apple picking.

It's almost that season.

[Matthew] So, we thought maybe
we would do a little ritual

to see if we can call on Peter.

So we're gonna each light a
candle as an offering to Peter.

By candle's light
and shadows cast,

we call on spirits
from the past.

Peter, show yourself.

[Luke] Okay. We have
something for you to read.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

[all]
"Magic forces black and white,

reaching out
through space and light.

Be he far or be he near,

bring us the demon
Peter Mailman here."

That is such
a not-scary last name.

[laughing]

Peter, if you're here
with us right now,

could you give us
a knock or a noise

or something
to indicate your presence?

[exclaims]

Sorry. Thought it was a bug.
Thought it was a bug.

-Thought it was a bug.
-[Matthew] Wait...

I think we gotta
take it up a notch.

He only tends
to show up for women.

These are handcuffs.

So we're gonna
put this on your hands...

-[Matthew] Yeah.
-...so it seems like

you can't go anywhere,
so that hopefully he shows up.

I consent.

[Nikki grunts]

[Matthew] Okay,
I'm gonna get the REM pod

so that Peter has
a way to talk with us.

[Nikki] Okay.

[Matthew] A REM Pod is a tool

that will detect
the presence of a ghost.

[Rem Pod beeping]

And this is the thing
that all the ghosts like.

And when someone
gets close to us...

-[REM Pod beeping]
-Like that.

That's uncanny.

Is that you, Peter?

Are you in the circle
with us right now?

-[REM Pod beeping]
-[Luke] Ask if it's Peter.

Like, ask him something.

Hey, Peter. Do you hate women?

-[REM Pod beeps]
-[Matthew] No, that's a yes.

-That's a yes?
-[Matthew] Yeah.

Do you want us
to leave Nikki in here alone?

[beeping]

Okay. Yeah, we--

Oh, I'm getting full goosebumps.
Oh, my gosh.

[REM POD droning]

[exhales]

Peter, I still have my feet.

Full-body chill.
Can you see these goosebumps?

Oh, my gosh. Holy.

-Peter, stop.
-[droning stops]

-Okay.
-[Matthew laughs]

-Oh, my God.
-So well for you.

Do you want me and Matthew
to step away from Nikki?

You just want me and Matthew
to leave the room?

-[REM Pod beeping]
-Oh!

[Luke] Peter, we're gonna
leave you alone with Nikki.

Okay.

If you need help, scream.

Okay.

[Luke] Everybody out.

It's just-- just me and, uh...

Mr. Ghost.

Hey, Peter...

do you think I'm weird?

-Sorry, that's a--
-[REM Pod beeps]

Oh! Okay. So does my mom.

Um, hey, Peter?

[REM Pod droning]

Hey, Peter.

[droning stops]

Can we be friends?

Hey, Peter, were you executed?

[REM Pod beeping]

Oh.

Yeah, that's pretty brutal.

[REM Pod beeping]

While we were watching the
monitor in the room next door,

our director
and one of the producers

noticed something
in the monitor:

a figure of a man in the window.

Although the cameras
are in the room with Nikki,

our mic feeds
are still recording.

-[Luke] Nikki?
-Yeah?

[Luke] What would you do if
I told you we're looking at

what looks like a human head

looking at you
through the window?

Do you see, like, a shadow
of a figure looking inside?

Not really. No.

Are you in the window?

[REM Pod droning]

[Matthew] Okay, Nikki,
we're coming back.

[Luke] I need-- I need to go up
to this window. I have to do it.

You actually
can't see it in here.

Luke and Matthew suggest moving
the REM Pod to the window

where this figure
or this face was seen.

Hey, Peter, are you here?

[REM Pod droning]

-[Nikki] Hey, Peter...
-[droning stops]

When we go outside, are you
gonna try to kill Nikki?

[REM Pod beeping]

Do you think that you can,
like, let me live?

[clears throat]

I think that he's saying,
like, no, you're not living.

Huh.

Yeah, this-- this ghost
definitely wants to kill me.

[eerie music]

That concludes our investigation
into Lunenburg Academy.

And now it's time
to decide if this location

-is truly haunted.
-Or not.

[Matthew] In hotspot one,
the classroom,

visitors report
the spirit of a male teacher

watching over them and
whispering to them to get out.

I asked some ludicrous
questions and we left.

People often describe
this spirit as an angry teacher,

and the first emotion
that came up was anger.

-Felt angry!
-Angry!

That was my smoking gun.

Based on the hauntings
that people see a man

or they hear someone yelling,

we did not see a man.
We did not hear yelling.

Did Matthew's Tamagotchi
have a happy face? Sure!

In hotspot two, the music room,

guests and investigators
report the spirit of Sophia,

a young girl
known to sing or cry.

I loved this room.

-I think your radio--
-The portal box?

I loved it.
Static sounds, whale noises.

I'm a big fan of the ocean.
My uncle died on the Titanic.

Do I think I heard a little girl
screaming or crying?

-No, that did not happen.
-Mmm.

[static crackling]

All of the evidence here
was too inconclusive

for me to directly
relate to Sophia.

In hotspot three, the basement,

visitors, staff, and paranormal
experts have all reported

the spirit of Peter Mailman
creating an uneasy atmosphere

and even grabbing people.

-Okay, so there's a lot here.
-There's a lot to unpack.

That basement,
it was just evil down there.

And it wasn't until
we put the cameras down

and everybody left Nikki alone
and we checked the monitor

that we saw a man in the window.

Or what looked to be
a man in the window.

?

This is one of the few
maybe apparitions, shadows,

figures, humanoid shapes
that I've ever seen

caught on camera and that
we've ever captured on camera.

[producer]
The million-dollar question is:

do you think
Lunenburg Academy is haunted?

The Ghosting verdict...

Of our paranormal
investigation...

Into Lunenburg Academy...

Is...

-[both] Haunted.
-[beep]

Wait, what did you just say?
You actually said it?

Listen,
Peter Mailman was there, diva.

Okay, can you just
say it one more time

for me and the people at home?

For $100, I can say
anything you want, daddy.

Oh, my gosh.

I think Lunenburg Academy is...

haunted.

Here's the thing.
The mission is,

did we prove the ghost was there
based on the hauntings

as to why people believe
this place is haunted?

We proved he was there.

I think there is definitely--

there's definitely
some sort of energy

that is a little bit off.

[school bell ringing]

And there's the bell.

-Class is over for today.
-Mmm.

But come back
if you wanna learn more

about Canada's haunted history.

Yeah.
See you in homeroom, ghosties.
