Fort George was re-created in the 1940's upon the original land and human remains from the previous fort. Which was made before the war of 1812 between Britain (Canada) and the United States. The fort itself over the years had much damage and decay. Only one building remained, the Magazine at the back of the fort. It remains in its original spot and has survived the test of time.
During the day tours has ran for many years, people would come forward with sightings. In 1994, Kyle Upton decided to start the Ghost Tours on weekends for anyone that could handle the dark and spirits within it. At first the tours where slow but in the last 15 or so years the interest has increased.
And with it sightings and experiences. Some dark and sinister, some mysterious. From full apparitions to orbs and flashes of lighting streaks from the ground to the sky. People are touched and some spoken to. Then there is the mental part about it. Feeling nauseous and dizzy, and some people have fainted from emotional stimulation from the energy.
I have gone four times since I was 17, and each time I notice the spirits and they notice me back. The many stories from the fort can be found in Kyle Upton's book .

The following are my experiences at the Fort based on each time I went.
First Time
Age 17, Year 1999
I went with my mom, sister and childhood friend that night. The stories were intense and so was the energy, I was feeling all flushed and overwhelmed. My empath, clairvoyance and clairaudient where on over drive. As we entered the officers barracks we sat down on the wooden long benches to listen to the story about Irving (its in Kyle's book). I sat there listening peering into the darkness, the only light was a single candle in a lantern the guide was holding. But what caught my attention was the little voice I was hearing near me saying, "Come and play" over and over three times. I remember saying in my head, "I can't right now." The voice stopped then I saw a little girl with old clothes run up the steps in front of me to the second level. A few minutes later the guides told us of Sara Anne.
The tunnel under the perimeter mound was intense, the guides took us to the back of the tunnel which had a small spiral staircase in one corner. The guide spoke of how Sara Anne comes in sometimes but only halfway and will tug on people's clothes, as I listened I looked up at the landing of the small staircase and noticed a hooded figure looking at me with white eyes. He sat crouched staring at me ONLY, as I looked back, I must of been about three feet from him. I got the vibe he was male, but confused about his energy because he did not give off he was human. I kept hoping if I looked away he would assume I was just looking around and could not see him, but when I looked back he stared at me again. I really dislike being stared at, no matter who or what it is, it seems to be a common theme with spirits or energy.
The area where the informatory was, made me so sick, I almost had to leave. My empath picked up on the intense emotion of pain and death. Amputation while awake and no painkillers, surgery and traumatic death. I felt dizzy and nauseous and my tummy was rumbling and aching. The emotions were: fear, sadness, sorrow, anger, hope and some happiness.
While we walked on the path back towards the front barracks I caught a glimpse of what I saw as a half man pacing the far wall. The grounds when they were restored they piled on new earth over the old to make for building or object foundation. After the man walked halfway he stopped lite something, then continued to walk. The guide told us that there is a man sighted that does pace and he stops to lite which seems to be a cigar or smoking object of some sort and watches the border still on duty.
The last part of the tour was to walk down the same path we came in on and stop twenty feet from a building near the entrance. The guide started to talk about some other stories when a man looking out the window of that far building caught my eye. I thought it was one of the security people just checking in. But as I tried to angle my body a bit by moving the face would change from human old male to skull back to human old male again. As we walked closer he began to tell of the man in that building, how he watches people. The closer I got the more the face became detailed and it still shifted alot, so much that I closed my eyes as we got within a few feet of the window. The guide continued stating that the "Watcher" (in Kyle's book) which they call him can be very aggressive. Hes been known to come out and hide behind the buildings and wait then attack people, from pushing to hitting to stalking. Pushing meaning to the ground on ones face, hes that mean.
Once we got out of the fort and those high heavy wooden metal gates closed behind us and we were in the field surrounding it, I felt safer. I saw alot of reminiscence energy, and some spirits they went about there business.

Now the other 3 times were in my 20's, the most recent October 14th 2011. The experiences when I went pretty much stayed he same, except the Watcher was not bugging me, neither was the Hooded figure in the tunnel. This last time I went my training has started to pay off, barriers for empath held better, just once did I feel a bit winded near the barracks but that was it. I still heard and saw Sara Anne, and felt the Hooded figure in the tunnel, however I was not near the stairs, I did not want to start something unintentionally with people around by just telling it to leave me alone or else. The Watcher was around he was stalking the group, but I stood my ground and looked at him with a I'm serious look.
