In this episode of ParaGhoul Paranormal: Discoveries from the Dark, I explore the unsettling history of Skeleton Park in Kingston, Ontario. Today it looks like a peaceful green space, but beneath the grass lies the former Upper Burial Ground, a cemetery where as many as 10,000 people may still be buried. First established in the early 1800s as the Garrison Burying Ground, the cemetery expanded as Kingston grew, eventually holding soldiers, local residents, and immigrants who died during devastating outbreaks of cholera, typhus, and malaria. By the 1850s the burial ground had reached capacity, and by the 1890s the neglected cemetery was converted into a city park. While some remains were relocated, thousands were left behind, with headstones flattened and soil placed over the graves. Over the years, frost heaving and construction work have occasionally uncovered bones, helping the park earn its lasting nickname: Skeleton Park. With so many graves beneath the surface, it is perhaps no surprise that the area is also said to be haunted. Visitors have reported ghostly women wandering the park, children appearing and disappearing, strange mists, whispers, and the feeling of being watched.
