    The Sawmill Haunt at Lansdowne

    The Sawmill returns to Lansdowne this Halloween season.

    Saunders Farm says The Sawmill, located on the south court outside Aberdeen Pavilion, is the largest, longest, most terrifying walking experience it produces during the Haunting Season.

    "In 2008, the City of Ottawa began demolition of the south-side Grandstand at Lansdowne Park. After the dust settled, workers were astounded to discover a hidden world under the debris. A team was called in to investigate. They excavated an untarnished lumber site from more than a century prior," Saunders Farm says.

    "Then they made a disturbing discovery… a lost colony of mill workers from early Bytown days who have not had outside contact for more than a century."

    The Sawmill is open for 13 nights until Oct. 31, with 1,400 tickets available a night.
