On this chilly day in December, Nate and Amy Whisper explore the Peterborough Liftlocks (in Peterborough, Ontario) where at least 3 but possibly 7 ghosts (or more) roam the grounds and a witch is said to have cursed the land leading to a few accidents and suicides over the years. By day, it's a beautiful and historical site that still functions for its original usage of moving water traveling technology from a lower body of water to a higher body of water... even though it was designed and built at the turn of the 1900s and uses no electricity to do so. By night, footsteps, apparitions, and flying tools are quite evident, and people who died long ago are still seen wandering the grounds at and surrounding the Peterborough Liftlocks.Also, friendly PSA: beware the stinging nettle around the Armour Hill area.
