The Haunted Woodland Cultural Centre (school for native children) and Creepy Shoe Tree
My sister, brother in law, niece and I check out the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford. It’s told to be one of the most haunted buildings in Ontario. It was originally a residential school for native children. I recommend educating yourself on residential school especially if you are Canadian. They have very tragic stories, that will further your respect for the First Nations people. We also visit a creepy tree we found that has been covered in shoes. I meant to upload this months ago oops. Stay classy ????????
