Fulton is a one-stop shop for practically all of your needs: antiques,
collectibles, artwork, hair salon, restaurant and....ghosts. |

Due to space limitations, not everything about this warehouse is featured on this page, including the sections of the second floor where additional sightings have been reported. The attic and basement have been untouched in the remodeling process, and, according to the owners, appear as they did almost 100 years ago. The attic and the basement are closed off to the public, except during the tours. We strongly encourage interested readers to participate in the warehouse ghost tours and dinners. The dinners are provided by "Let's Mango" restaurant in the warehouse, which serves excellent, authentic Caribbean foods and drinks. The next available 2004 dates are: April 3rd, May 1st (Celtic Feast of the Beltaine), May 22nd, June 12th, June 21st (Summer Solstice) July 3rd, and July 31st. For you die-hard ghosthunters out there, these dates were selected with moon phases and special seasonal events in mind. The Warehouse on the Canal is located at 239 North Canal Street in Canal Fulton. For more information about the ghost tours, or to make a reservation, contact the Warehouse at (330) 854-1111. You can also visit the website for the Warehouse on the Canal by clicking here. On Saint Patrick's Day 2004 (March 17th), we will be returning to the Warehouse on the Square to participate in one of the group ghost tours. Given the canal's history (see Lock Four), the date seems especially appropriate. Unfortunately, the St. Paddy's slot is now *sold out*. However, we will update this page with the results of our tour. Many thanks to Ken & Margarita Roberts and Chell, all of the Warehouse, for their kind and informative assistance; and to Sherri Brake-Recco for tipping us off to this fine gem. Sherri's submission and photographs from her investigation of the Warehouse on the Canal can be found by going to the Stories and Submissions page. |

4/10/04: On March 17th, 2004, we participated in the Warehouse's special St. Patrick's Day ghost hunt and dinner along with Ken Summers from Moonspenders. The food and drinks were excellent, of course. We strongly recommend that you partake in the "ghost breeze", a special sugar cane juice and rum concoction that warms up and finely tunes the senses quite nicely. <wink>
Sherri Brake-Recco ("Mistress Sherri") did an extraordinary job of guiding and assisting the group. She provided training in dowsing and the use of other miscellaneous "ghost hunting" equipment. She also told some colorful canal ghost tales that only enhanced the mood felt by many seated in the dark, candle-lit rooms of the old warehouse. Even for the skeptics in our group (myself included), the experience was quite entertaining and informative.
While we had previously toured the Warehouse during daylight hours, it was no substitute for experiencing the tour at night. Below are some photos of our tour that night. (Yes, there are "orbs" in these pics, but there are natural explanations for them).
The Warehouse will soon be conducting an overnight ghost hunt, which will include a late dinner, midnight snack, a stroll through the nearby Pioneer Cemetery, and breakfast. There will also be ghosthuntin' and story swapping all night long. A date has not yet been set for the overnight, but check out the updates on the website for the Warehouse on the Canal by clicking here.

5/15/04: On June 5th, 2004, the Warehouse will host an OVERNIGHT ghost hunt, beginning 9:00 p.m. and ending 3:00 p.m. the next day. The overnight will be hosted by Sherri, who will be setting up motion detectors and other fancy ghost huntin' equipment. The cost is a measly $40.00. Tasty beverages and snacks will be provided.
