The Crepe House, one of Port Dover's premier eating establishments, not only offers exquisite cuisine, but also a generous helping of ghosts.
This Food Network featured restaurant is located in one of the most haunted towns in Ontario - Port Dover, in Long Point Bay, Ontario, Canada. History abounds here from the War of 1812, raids of the Fenians after the American Civil War and rum runners that made the treacherous crossings during prohibition.
The Crepe House, built in 1880, has had a colourful history of its own. ParaHunt had the privilege of interviewing the current proprietors and conducting our own paranormal investigation.

ParaHunt Slept Here - This cottage was built in 1849 as a slave/cooking quarters to the main house - Magnolia Manor. Originally there was a conveyor belt from the cottage to the main house.
Prior to our investigation that evening, we left a digitital recorder turned on for about an hour while we were out. Upon review of the recording, there appears to be footsteps, bangs, drawers opening and cupboard doors slamming for almost the full hour! While we were there, the house was eerily quiet - with no unidentified sounds being made.
