Amherstburg's oldest building came by water. Park House was built near Detroit and is said to have been taken apart and floated downriver in 1798. Staff have long told of a woman in black upstairs and a rope bed that looks slept in. (CBC Windsor)
Staff and visitors have long told of the "Dragging Ghost" of Mackenzie Hall, Windsor's 1855 courthouse and jail: a custodian alone at night heard his ladder scrape across the floor. Three times.
