Haunted Guild Inn

Chiller · Sep 22, 2005

The Guild Inn has been shut down since late 2001, but the gardens in the rear of the building over look the Scarborough bluffs and are an awesome place to have wedding photos taken. That part is still in use. The main building is in such disrepair that the city wants to tear it down, but the historic society wants to preserve it.

There are also rumors that the building it haunted. There is reading available here if ya like.>>> http://www.pararesearchers.org/Ghosts/guild/guild.html

I decided it was time to head over at night and see what I could get myself into. There are a few lights on in the building, I guess for safety, but these shots were taken in really low light, and some have had some "noise" added to give it a more creepy look. Any comments or suggestions to make them look "creepier" would be welcomed.

This shot of the back restaurant was taken a few days ago as the sun was setting. There have been a few ghost seen here.

This door leads to a back stairwell.

Taken through the main entrance. Not sure why, but there is still an old wheelchair parked near the check in desk.

Please forgive me for the quality of this shot, but I could not leave it out. This was taken around 11:00pm, and there were no lights on around me. I had my little point and shoot camera on a tripod, set the timer and captured this shot. There was a faint light on in the room...even though these not been in use for years. Im thinking the door to the hallway was open and it was the light from there reflecting in.

Thanks for taking a look. Sorry about the long post.

Chiller, Can't see any way of improving the atmosphere, except maybe a ghostly figure in some of them. Ernie

Cool Chiller, I like this series #3 and #4 kinda gave me the chills. Great work!

cool series, neat effort, I bet it would cost a fortune to get that place back in shape!

Thank everyone
Airic....the place is really getting in bad shape but there are a ton of pictures just waiting to be taken there. . Seems vandals are winning the battle too. It is really sad.
Raymond...they are saying it will cost more to restore it then to tear is down and rebuild it. But there has been a lot of talk lately about trying to save as much as possible, cause of the historic factor.
JonMikal....if it were my choice, I would have been in the building to investigate more :lmao: :lmao: . :lmao:

Thanks Randog, Ernie and Pastapuck, I appreciate your comments.

Chiller -- those are awesome shots! I can almost see ghosts in the second and third one! Oh, where is April Raven when posts like this show up?!?!

I heard the wheelchair squeak squeak squeak as it rolled up to the desk, too!

Great series that made my imagination run rampant!

JonMikal -- I must agree with your post.
