The Ghost Walk is a Halloween-themed registered non-profit organization based in Cornwall, ON. It features an annual spooky event held every October, offering a thrilling and immersive 15-20 minute walkthrough experience. As a non-profit entity, The Ghost Walk operates without any paid salaries, relying entirely on volunteers to bring the spooky festivities to life. The event aims to create memorable Halloween experiences for the community while supporting local causes through its initiatives.

Our team at The Ghost Walk for Charity is always devoted to giving back to our community. ALL proceeds are donated to select charities around the city of Cornwall. We are beyond grateful for all of the support from the community as well as our hard-working volunteers, donations and corporate sponsors.

Every year, the Ghost Walk for Charity board members carefully review applications to decide on multiple charities to support. At the end of the year, 100% of all profits generated from The Ghost Walk events are donated to these selected charities. This ensures that every dollar earned directly contributes to meaningful causes, reflecting our commitment to giving back to the community.

The Ghost Walk is located at The Cornwall Square, (1 Water St E, Cornwall, Ontario). Dates and times will be posted on our website as well as our social media pages.

The Ghost Walk for Charity is designed to be a family-friendly event, making it enjoyable for all ages. We have instituted Non-Scare hours from 1pm-4pm on every selected Saturday and Sunday for this purpose. During these specified times, there will be no actors, jump scares, loud noises, or other frightening elements. This creates a safe and welcoming environment where families can fully enjoy the Ghost Walk while supporting the community. Our goal is to make sure everyone, regardless of age, can join in on the fun while contributing to charitable causes.

The Non-Scare Hours for The Ghost Walk are every operating Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. For more detailed information and updates, please visit our website or check out The Ghost Walk's Facebook page:

Everyone's tolerance for both the Scare and Non-Scare hours at The Ghost Walk is different, regardless of age. During Non-Scare hours, there will be no jump scares or actors. However, please note that it will still be dark and potentially frightening for some participants. We recommend assessing your child's comfort level with dark environments and haunted themes before deciding to attend. If in doubt, talking to our volunteers about what to expect during Non-Scare hours may help you make an informed decision.

To ensure a safe and reassuring experience, we provide flashlights during the Non-Scare hours to help mitigate any fear (though we encourage you to bring your own if you prefer). Additionally, the walk is designed with multiple exit points. If at any moment your child feels too scared, simply inform your guide. They will promptly escort you and your child to the nearest exit, ensuring your comfort and safety at all times.
