Over the two decades, she performed with Simcoe Little Theatre, Lighthouse Festival Theatre and the Academy Theatre in Lindsay Ontario. She attained her BFA in Acting from the University of Windsor and performed in numerous productions such as Sam Shepherd’s “A Lie of the Mind”, Michel Tremblay’s “The Real World?” , “Guys and Dolls”, “Waiting for the Parade” and many others.

Sir Christopher

Chris Aruffo's bio coming soon!

Jack Lawrence

Jack (aka Derek Ewert) has always been intensely involved in the performing arts since a very young age. Devoting his entire high school experience to performing on stage and in the Sears Drama Festival, Derek has put on 15 major productions and has been awarded 4 awards for acting through the Sears Festival while attending the St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and has also put on shows with the St. Thomas Players, and with Carousel Players.

Being somewhat sensitive to the paranormal, he has always been incredibly interested in his experiences and hearing the experiences of others. He hopes you enjoy his playing on our haunted piano at the Museum of the Paranormal if you attend his tours and diabolically asks... "Do you want to hear a story?"

Daniel 'Rook' Holbrooke

"Rook" (Daniel Wooster) is a trained actor who has enjoyed a wide array of roles in film, television and theatre productions. Performance has been his life before he can even remember, relying on the character of his loving and supportive parents not to make up embarrassing stories of his exploits. "Rook" received his education from both Humber College and U of T in the field of marketing and public relations. Combining that education with his passion for both performing and the paranormal made "Rook" a welcome addition to Haunted Hamilton's team.

Lady Rowenna

Lady Rowenna is well known for her love of all the arts. In her human form, known as Lauren, she is a dedicated actress, dancer, and singer. Her love for the arts began as a little girl when she played elaborate dress up games with her sister, and grew larger as she earned the part of the evil queen in her school musical, "Once Upon a Mattress", in her grade twelve year. Lauren also loves writing short stories, but her biggest love is for visual art. Lauren has been creating since she was a little girl, and begins her first year of Visual Arts studies at Brock University in the fall. Above all, her love for the supernatural and paranormal is undying.

Lady Lilith

Born and raised as Libby MacEachern. Lady Lilith has been acting dramatically on and offstage since she was young. An avid actress and singer, Lady Lilith has been in productions at The Firehall Theatre in Niagara Falls and Lakeshore Catholic Highschool in Port Colborne. Currently she is studying Theatre at York University in Toronto and hopes to enter into the production field. Lady Lilith is all fun and games until she calls upon her Dark Passengers to aid her in retelling the stories of their restless spirits. Her keen interests in the paranormal make Lady Lilith a beautiful and deadly addition to the Haunted Hamilton Team.

Lady Catherine

Lady Catharine (aka Cathy Ormerod) has been involved in the arts since she was a small child. Whether it was singing, acting or visual, she has always found joy in the arts. She recently graduated with a degree in Theatre from Brock University. In the last year, Cathy has switched her focus from Theatre to Travel, which has also been a passion for several years. She has toured Europe, Southern Caribbean, Eastern Canada and lived in Florida for a summer while participating in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. She is excited to continue her adventures around the world as an International Tour Manager, focusing on Europe and the rich history within. Lady Catharine welcomes you to her hometown of Niagara-on-the-lake, to stroll through town and discover the haunted history within the jewel of Niagara.

Lady Bethany

Bethany, or as she's known in this century, Stef, has been performing in some form or another for as long as she can remember. It all started with putting on plays for her family as a child and eventually lead her to studying Theatre full time at the University of Toronto. She has acted for stage, in short films, and worked in Toronto as a background actor. Stef’s favourite acting experience came from playing a Victorian vampire character that she had developed over several years, at Canada’s Wonderland’s “Halloween Haunt”. Along with her husband, Wayne, they became the two most well known characters from that event over the 4 years they worked there. As for the spooky stuff, Stef has always had an interest in the paranormal, as she has been feeling ‘strange’ things since she was a child. A self-proclaimed Empath, her and her husband have travelled all over North America visiting haunted places to not only see what they may feel, but also because of their love for historic buildings. Stef currently lives in a Victorian manor house built in 1872, and shares her home with some permanent supernatural residents.

Lady Jade

Terri Jade Pentlichuk is an artist of all kinds. Professionally, she’s a Graphic Designer, but she is also an avid musician/singer/songwriter/ actor. She’s studied many different art genres over the years and has performed on and off the stage for both music and drama. Currently she is a Board Member of the Dunnville Community Theatre. It is with great pleasure that Terri walks with Haunted Hamilton for she has always had a deep interest in, not only the supernatural, but also, the history that is involved in the stories. So much so, that she visits historical locations as often as she can in her spare time. Known to some as “Cemeterri” for her insatiable love of all things dark and unusual, perhaps she will tickle your “scary bone” with her tales of the macabre.

Ghost Guide James

James Pettitt is an actor, musician and writer. He has appeared both on and off stage and screen since he was 5 years old, appearing in over 20 plays, musicals and movies combined. His awards include Best Actor at the International Teen Movie Festival 2002. James now teaches theatre arts to young children at Theatre Aquarius. He is an avid ghost and history enthusiast and is no new comer to Ghost Hunting and things of that nature, as he has been active in the field for the last 6 years and has an abundance of personal ghost stories, which he is more then happy to share. James is thrilled to be a part of the Haunted Hamilton Ghost Walks since the very beginning and hopes to scare the living daylights out of YOU soon!

Lady Juliet Ravensdale

Lady Juliet was born on October 31st, 1900 in the small town of Sour Spring, Ontario; which might explain her sour and crass personality where she can unexpectedly use her twisted humour against you. She now dwells in the quaint cemetery tucked behind Ruthven Park in Cayuga, Ontario. She says, “This is the one place that feels like home – where I can finally feel alone.” Recently, she can be spotted on ghost walks such as Haunted Hamilton’s’ “Custom House” and is known to hide in the ruins during the famous “Hermitage Walks”.

Sometimes, she is summoned by Dan and Stephanie on the “Haunted Hamilton Radio Show” where she often tells the most disturbing and scariest stories that few people dare to tell. She is ashamed to admit that in her recent learning to drive, her car is still parked on the roof of McMaster (or local) University

The Dead Dude

This mysterious cloaked figure has been spotted on several of our Ghost Walks. Sometimes you won't even know he's there while at other times, he'll be there to gently direct the light your way. They say he's dead, but he never stays around long enough for us to find out!

The Dark Widow

You'll never know when she'll appear, but the Dark Widow of Haunted Hamilton makes her way from place to place in everlasting mourning. She'll never say a word, she'll never speak again. But maybe, just maybe, you'll become aquainted with her on the next ghost walk!
