Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

Welcome to the bustling streets of Toronto, where the Keg Mansion stands as not only a testament to fine dining but also to spine-tingling ghost stories. Originally the home of industrialist Hart Massey, this historic building is as famous for its food as it is for its ghostly residents.

The tale that haunts these halls the most is that of the maid. Legend whispers that, stricken with grief over the death of her employer, Lillian Massey (Hart Massey's beloved daughter), the maid took her own life by hanging in the front foyer. Since then, diners and staff alike have reported glimpsing her figure, swinging gently from the rafters, only to disappear when they look again.

But Lillian’s maid isn't the only ghostly guest. There are tales of children's laughter echoing in empty rooms, the pitter-patter of unseen little feet, and even the somber face of a woman peering out from the second-floor windows. Perhaps these are the lingering Massey family members, unable to part with their once-beloved home.

And then there's the dining room, where the clinking of glasses and cutlery sometimes accompanies a cold draft or the mysterious moving of objects – enough to make even the skeptics among us raise an eyebrow.

Despite its ghostly reputation, or maybe because of it, the Keg Mansion remains one of Toronto's most beloved eateries. Whether you're there for the food or the spooks, it’s an experience you won't soon forget.
