Ghostly Hand at Burwick House

by Richard Ong

Here is a photo of a ghostly hand near the stairs as seen from the reflection of a mirror at the historic Burwick House at Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto.

The unexpected image was captured using a Canon PowerShot SX40 HS (F-stop: f/2.7; Exposure time: 1/60 sec; ISO-800; Flash used: yes) on October 7, 2022 at 9:43 pm EDT. The original photo shows the antique mirror hanging in the hallway with two small paintings on each side. I cropped and magnified the reflected image of the staircase from the mirror in order to show the ghostly hand which appears to be passing through one of the vertical bars of the banister.

Originally built in 1844, Burwick House is reputed to be the most haunted structure at the village.
