Like many older cities across Canada, Barrie is rich with old buildings…and old stories. Many detailing grisly histories, sparking tales of hauntings and ghostly appearances.
Ghoulish tales about the the Barrie Jail, first built in 1841 and home to a lunatic asylum for a time, have been whispered around town for decades, including unconfirmed reports of faint screaming and the sounds of clanging chains being heard in the halls of the small penitentiary, perhaps the distant voices of the inmates who were hanged, and legend has it, buried in the Jail’s courtyard many years ago.
There is also the Uptown theatre, first built in 1937, that has been host to eerie encounters on many occasions; staff have reported doors opening and closing on their own, and one particularly terrifying night during which the manager Mike witnessed a bulb from this projector launch itself across the room, smashing against the wall, as if someone had thrown it.
But nowhere is the scare metre higher in Barrie than at the Simcoe Hotel…which is said to be home to the lost soul of a woman who haunts the historic building…but if it’s true, how did she get here?
This story begins a long time ago; in 1872. In those days Barrie was a rough and tumble town with plenty of taverns and houses of ill repute, and the Simcoe Hotel, first built in the 1850s was often frequented by both travellers and locals looking for a lively place to drink or a warm bed for the evening.
It was on a frigid January night that a woman named Elizabeth Meyer, embarked on a journey from the rowdy Hotel to her home. A journey…she would never complete.
Elizabeth had been indulging at the Hotel, and as such her senses were dulled by drink, rendering her virtually defenceless when a menacing figure emerged from the darkness to strike her.
There was nobody around on the deserted streets to help, and sadly it was a quick death for Elizabeth as her broken body slumped to the cold street, while her attacker disappeared into the windy darkness.
Early the next morning, a passerby made the terrible discovery of Elizabeth’s Meyer’s corpse, and her body was dragged in to the Hotel, and placed right about here. The coroner was summoned and strangely, rather than move poor Elizabeth to a morgue, he conducted his Inquest right here.
Incredibly, the death was officially ruled an accident. To this day, nobody can say for sure why the Coroner made such an obviously false ruling. Did he have something to do with her death? Did he know the killer? We’ll never know.
The story of Elizabeth’s tragic demise soon faded from the public spotlight, as people lost interest in the crime. But according to some…she never left the Hotel. At least, her spirit didn’t.
In the years since that night, stories of eerie activity at the Hotel have circulated through the community. Sometimes, the stories say, it’s nothing more than the unsettling feeling that someone…or something is watching. Or unexplained cold spots or footsteps in empty rooms.
But on rare occasions, people report sightings of a haunting spectre of woman lurking in the shadows outside the building.
The description is always similar; a tall woman, pale skin, standing motionless
It seems Elizabeth Meyer is condemned to spend eternity at the spot where she died more than a century ago.
