The Fiddler's Green Irish Pub

(The Ghosts of The Fiddler's Green Irish Pub.)

Fiddler's Green Irish Pub, located in Cambridge, Ont., comes complete with its resident ghosts. The ghost of Emily is the star of this legend, which started almost 100 years ago.

Back in 1885, a Post Office was built (now Fiddler's Green Irish Pub) in Galt, Ont. (now part of Cambridge). Thomas Fuller designed the post office (Fuller also designed the Parliament Building in Ottawa).

William S. Turnbull, was a postmaster from 1898-1919.He was secretly in love with a fellow postal employee known only as Emily (last name unknown). No one knows if William insisted to keep their affair a secret or tried to end it but nevertheless, Emily threatened to publicize their love affair. This action would have ruined Turnbull as a Post Master. A few days later Emily's lifeless body was found in the rafters of the clock tower. Was it suicide or murder? A few weeks later, Turnbull died in his sleep. Was it a broken heart, suicide, or murder that ended his life as well?

To this very day, strange sightings and ghostly apparitions appear at Fiddler's Green. It must be noted here that several customers have apparently spotted the ghosts of a young man and a young woman.

The third floor is called Emily's Attic Dance Club, named after Emily herself.

One of the managers, Todd, (requested to keep his last name unknown) recalled one night at 9p.m. when a bottle of gin levitated from behind the bar, began spinning in mid air, flew across the floor only to smash into countless pieces.

Other unworldly experiences include chairs bounced with the aid of unseen individuals, lights dimmed by themselves, and water taps turning off and on after they have been tightly turned off. The pool room door has been known to open when a staff member securely locked it.

The third floor, where Emily's hanged body was found; windows were screwed shut only to be found opened. People have claimed to have seen mysterious black shadows pass by the upper windows and even a face that actually appears to form in the clock itself.

It is known that in 1991, when the building was called 'Time Club', a seance was done by a psychic. In the seance they have seemed to contact Turnbull's spirit who also seemed to haunt the building. It is unknown if their spirits still linger on at Fiddler's green Irish Pub but one thing is for sure, there will always be things that go bump in a Canadian night.
