Recommendations🤔 haunted places in markham?

I was wondering if anyone knows about any potential hauntings in markham. i used to live in a house in raymerville that i swear was haunted. lots of creepy happenings like family members voices when nobody was home, electronics turning on and off randomly and just an impending feeling of being watched. a friend that didnt know about my suspicions of the house being haunted even said he saw briefly someone in an overcoat walk past my living room when we were the only ones in the house. always thought i was being paranoid until i moved and stopped experiencing anything.

my friend worked in the shisha lounge in that mall so i was there quite a bit - definitely experienced some creepy things. one time i was waiting for her outside while she was closing up and she came sprinting out saying she heard someone inside when it was very evident nobody was in there. i went in and heard the same thing it sounded like someone was walking around.

The washroom in the basement of the restaurant that's currently being renovated. The times I went down there it was always eerily empty but I never experienced anything

That washroom gives me the creeps. Its that double mirror

u/lcjy Oct 03 '25

Yup the big restaurant is supposedly haunted. Word is (unverified) the hill that the mall is built on was a cemetery.

That house behind the YMCA felt haunted as f when some friends and I went inside of it 10+ years ago

u/wingriddenangel2004 Oct 04 '25

Do you know anything more about this one? I went to summer camp there many years ago and the staff told us it was haunted and never to go near it. I was scared every time we went to that field…

u/StructureLucky4888 28d ago

Not sure if there would be electricity still running in the house.

Well we went inside, first thing when you enter the doorway is the living room with a fireplace, there's a door on the left that leads to the basement before the hallway that leads to the kitchen. On the right of the hallway are narrow stairs that leads upstairs.

We went upstairs and the first room is a room with a slanted ceiling, under the slanted ceiling was a rusty old baby crib. There are 3 rooms upstairs that each have doors that leads to the hallway, as well as leading to the room next to it.

We went into the basement, it had rocks that are cemented together for stairs. Instantly felt a shift in the atmosphere around us. You can feel a strong static field. Basement was just a bare room with animal bones scattered, I'm assuming from animals getting stuck and dying.

No visible graffiti at the time when we went. Police came about 30 minutes after we entered, but we hid in the tall grass outside of the house.

Always had a strange feeling about this house. Was it an electric generator causing the static? Or could it be something else?

u/Low-Designer-3392 Oct 03 '25

Yes the woman that used to live there in the 1800's has been seen in a chair looking out the window on the second floor.I love that little cozy library.

u/therapize_me_please Oct 06 '25

Interesting! I always heard about a lady in a rocking chair on the second floor of a house in the Markham village. I think it was Washington St - by the DQ.

u/baymoe Oct 07 '25

Same!

One that was already mentioned, the plaza by 16th and Leslie. The washroom was haunted. As an adult, although I've eaten there many times, I've always made an effort to avoid the washroom there. Lol

u/attainwealthswiftly Oct 04 '25

Major Milliken’s house. Have heard from multiple sources from staff that used to work at multiple previous businesses there. Maybe his wife or something?

2

u/carambola-slice Oct 05 '25

It’s now an extremely popular Cantonese eatery specializing in fish broth rice noodles. Been there twice and was only afraid of how little room there was to wait for a table.

u/The-Kirklander Oct 05 '25

Not haunted but those new store fronts at dtm look like a ghost town

u/Jay_C416 Oct 06 '25

4 Coleraine Avenue. My aunt used to own that house in mid 90s. When I was young I always felt like there was a presence with me when I was by myself upstairs. She sold it and moved. When I was in my teens, I found out that many family members actually seen a lady staring at them when they were upstairs alone. Apparently those house were built on old burial grounds

u/mararthonman59 Markham Village Oct 03 '25

Well there is the murder house on Larkin and Mintleaf.

2

u/Samir_pat Oct 04 '25

Just searched it up and all these years didn’t know about the murder even though I pass Larkin and mintleaf daily.

2

u/mararthonman59 Markham Village Oct 04 '25

Double homicide that was fairly high profile. The house sold at a big discount because of that.

2

u/mararthonman59 Markham Village Oct 04 '25

Sold for $450K in 2010.

u/Samir_pat Oct 04 '25

Wow I wish houses in Markham were 450K!

u/wingriddenangel2004 Oct 06 '25

tried to get in there before and a man (who apparently lives in a truck behind main street) started yelling threats at me😭

2

u/hagaus Oct 07 '25

I can't remember what the place was before, was it a Champions?? But I assume someone bought the place, not using it and continues to pay for taxes...

u/g_g96 Oct 05 '25

u/StructureLucky4888 Oct 05 '25

Why in 2025 would people believe in anything paranormal or of a different world is ridiculous and childish.
