As we previously posted, OPRI will be investigating the Macdonell-Williamson House in Hawkesbury, Ontario shortly. We're looking forward to investigating such a historically significant home, especially this year as we celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.  

This investigation is also going to offer OPRI another unique opportunity, we are going to be joined by the members from the Critical Junction podcast. Critical Junction had originally reached out to us about appearing on an episode of their podcast dealing with the paranormal. Unfortunately we were unable to get a time and date down to make that happen. Instead of declining we thought it would be a cool to invite them out to join us on this investigation, thus enabling them to have some first hand investigative experience that would add to the content of their podcast. We're looking to working with the guys as they get to test their metal during their first paranormal investigation. Check them out on Facebook or subscribe to their YouTube channel. 

Check out their original podcast on the paranormal attached below. 

Happy Haunting 
- OPRI 

The Macdonell-Williamson House in Hawkesbury, Ontario - also known as Poplar Villa - was built by fur-trader John Macdonell in 1817. 

​He built the house because he had six children, and those six children needed a lot of room to grow. He "planned well" as six more children were born in the home making them a family of 14. 

As with many families of the time, once sickness and disease enter the home they didn't discriminate against their victims. Only a few of his 12 children made it to adulthood. 

The Williamson family purchased the home and property in 1882 from John's son, John B.P. Macdonell. They made several changes to the home over the years, and the descendants maintained the property until it was expropriated for the Quebec Hydro project at Carillon in 1961. 

Friends of the Macdonell-Williamson House Inc. were appointed custodians of this National Historic Site in 1997, and they continue to open the house on summer weekends as a cultural, historical and tourist center. 

There has been no confirmed instances of apparitions or spirits, but several volunteers over the years have stated that there is a ghost in the house. Reports of unexplained air-currents, strange noises, and just a general feeling of unease when left alone in the house have attributed to the feelings of a possible haunting.   

OPRI has been granted permission to be the first paranormal group with access to the house for an investigation, which will happen in the coming months. We look forward to investigating this historical landmark. Check back for the results of our investigation.
