Headless Harvey and the last man hanged
On Wednesday, August 1, 1906 George Stanley was hanged. He was the last man executed at the Windsor County Jail. From that day on…. the town was never the same because while justice may have d been served many believe that Freeman Harvey, the man George Stanley so callously killed is not at rest. Judge Charles Edgar DeWolf, who lived in the area, reported seeing the apparition of a headless man in his basement window. He knew that parts of Harvey’s corpse had been found hidden under a pile of potatoes, and the judge was sure that he had seen Harvey’s ghost. Then, other strange things began to happen. This is the story of Headless Harvey.

Hatley Castle
About 25 mins from Victoria, British Columbia is where you'll find Hatley Castle. In 1906, B.C.'s Lieutenant Governor, James Dunsmuir, purchased the property. He and his wife Laura commissioned the renowned Canadian architect Samuel Maclure to build a 40-room mansion in the Tudor revival style that was popular in the Edwardian period. James was often criticized as a public official, and the mansion became his escape when he retired. James and his wife Laura had 12 children. Their youngest son, Jim, was of fighting age when WWI broke out and lost his life on the RMS Lusitania when a German U-boat torpedoed the ship, and Jim’s body was never discovered. The couple was heartbroken by the death of their son and spent the majority of their days mourning him. James died shortly after Jim and ever since then, there have been claims of strange things happening in the mansion.

Deadman's Pond
A small, historic pond believed to be bottomless and located on Signal Hill in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada is also the final resting place for executed criminals after they were removed from the Gibbet Hill. Captured pirates and other convicted criminals were hung from a gallows on top of the hill, and the bodies were then suspended as a warning to everyone in the city and those entering by ship. It is widely believed that is how Deadman's Pond got its name. It could also have gotten its unfortunate handle as a result of the numerous drownings that have occurred there.
