HISTORY
Situated on the site of the original SS #23 Kinghorn Schoolhouse, the King Heritage & Cultural Centre is home to the King Township Historical Society, the Township of King’s Museum and Archival Collection, a long-term museum exhibition and four historic buildings. Established in 1979 and opening to the public in 1982, the Heritage Centre consist of the following buildings:
SS #23 Kinghorn Schoohouse
As far back as 1847, children were being educated on the property. The first school lessons were taught in a log cabin that was known as a “squatters’ school”. In 1860, James Burns gave the school a real home by selling a portion of his farm, which allowed for the construction of a proper one-room schoolhouse. The school would teach children for many years – up until the 1978. As the student population increased, expansions to the building occurred, however these additions could not compete with new schools and bussing services.
An important figure to the Kinghorn Schoolhouse was a teacher by the name of Walter Rolling. Mr. Rolling was a no-nonsense teacher, teaching four generations of students at Kinghorn from 1895 to 1936. Walter Rolling was the son of Benjamin Rolling, one of the first African Canadians to serve as a Postmaster in Canada. Walter was born on May 31, 1873. He would spend his entire life in King township. Although he married twice, he had no kids from either relationship. Walter retired from the teaching world in 1936. On June 8, 1943 he would pass away, with a cause of death listed as coronary thrombosis.
Other notable teachers at Kinghorn were:

Laskay Hall
Built in 1859, Laskay Hall was the original Temperance Hall. It was erected to protect the hamlet from the “Demon Drink” and would do so until 1908. Originally found on a property that was owned by Davide Reesor, the Sons of Temperance formed No. 202 division and opened the hall around New Years in 1859. Although the want was there, this division became dormant before the hall was even finished. Finally, in 1888, it was reorganized and flourished under the hard work of its members. In 1910 the hall became the permanent home of the Women’s Institute. They took over the maintenance and up keep of the hall. The Hall would remain the Women’s Institute for many years – hosting events and fundraisers. In August 2007 it was moved to its current spot beside the schoolhouse, where it continues to hold space for events. |

King Christian / Emmanuel Baptist Church
King Christian/Emmanuel Baptist Church
Originally found on Lot 31, Concession 5 (now Jane St.) in King Township, the land was first purchased in 1850. Beside its original location, a burial ground was also established. The first interment was that of Rachel Tatton, wife of John Tatton, church Trustee. Rachel Tatton died during the construction of the church in 1851. Over the next 80 years the church was a busy place. However, its congregation began to dwindle. By 1931, the congregation was so small that they could no long properly maintain the building. It was sold to the Emmanuel Baptist Church on December 17, 1931.
Elwood Barradell purchased the building for the Baptist Church in 1931. However, his life would come to an abrupt end on March 30, 1939, as he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot would to his head. He was 74 years of age.
The Emmanuel Baptist Church took to renovating the interior. They added a platform and an altar, pews and an organ. While the Baptist church saw many busy years, its congregation began to fizz out. In 1978, the building was given to the Township of King under the care of the Historical Society. This was requested by the last congregate, Edna Little. When the building was moved to its new location, some locals felt that it was not the right move. There were protest and angry shouting, but in the end, the church was loaded onto a flatbed truck and transported to its new home

King Railway Station
Considered the oldest surviving railway station in Canada, the King Railway Station operated from 1853 to 1967. It was the first stop on the Canadian National Northern Railway on its way to Lake Simcoe. The first train to arrive at this station was on May 16, 1853.
The station was designed and built by Frederic W. Cumberland, the Chief engineer of the railway. Cumberland also helped design the Cathedral Church of St. James and School, the York County Courthouse and a post office. He also designed the University College, the Provincial Magnetic Observatory and the Director’s Residence – all at the University of Toronto. He designed several residence for prominent people in Toronto, and built several public buildings in Hamilton.
Although the station would change hands multiple times, it never stopped trains from arriving or leaving. Around 1900 the station would go through some modifications. This included a new bay window for improved visibility from the station agent’s office inside. By 1920 the station was servicing eight trains a day.
In 1964 the station closed to passengers and would then sit abandoned for several years. In 1968 it was moved to the Kortright Centre for Conservation. Due to neglect it began to rapidly deteriorate. In 1989 it was moved to its current location, and was restored thanks to fundraising and volunteers.
In 1982, the King City GO station was built in the original location of the King Railway station, once again picking up and dropping off passengers on their travels.

Rachel's Experience
INITIAL THOUGHTS
When I first pulled up to the King Heritage & Cultural Centre, I was taken a back by how the land around the location was built up with these large-scale houses, and a large warehouse directly across the street. The centre looked completely out of place and lost amounts the huge buildings. Two of the historic buildings on the site were currently undergoing restoration. This meant that there was plenty of construction debris, and protective fencing surround the site. It looked out of place, and something just didn’t feel right.
We entered the main building, which was once the Kinghorn School House. I was shocked to see how modernized it is, but the displays and exhibits were neatly and appropriately laid out. The rooms were crisp and clean, and everything seemed to have its place. I did not feel at all uncomfortable in this building. It felt very quiet and reserved.
The next building we visited was Laskay Hall. As soon as I entered this building, it definitely felt like there were a few more of us in there. This building had a large open space and a stage. The basement was also housing items from two other buildings that were currently undergoing restoration. There was definitely a presence in this building I wanted to explore more.
We then made our way down to the King Railway Station. This building had just finished undergoing restoration and was completely empty. Although it was void of any furniture and artifacts, it didn’t feel empty. It felt busy. There was also a sense of urgency and rush that would occasionally waft through the building. During our initial walk thru, we heard a large rumble of thunder. This excited me, but it was a one and done. Which was kind of disappointing, as a thunderstorm would have been quite the treat.
Lastly, we checked out the King Christian/Emmanuel Baptist Church. This building is currently midway through a full restoration. The inside is completely gutted and full of construction gear (saws, plywood, paint, etc). It is quite dusty and there are currently no windows. This building had a feel to it that didn’t feel like a church would. It felt depressing and like something was amiss. This wasn’t due to the restoration, but something a bit darker – like something had happened in the building, with the building, or with someone connected to the building. The feeling was so strong that Kaz couldn’t wait to leave.
INVESTIGATION THOUGHTS:
Kinghorn School – this location was much quieter than I anticipated. We began our investigation in the basement, but there was nothing down there that called out to us. We went back upstairs to the research room. This room seemed to have a bit more activity and it was originally a part of the former school. The SLS camera mapped a figure near me. The dead bell activated a couple of times in response to our questions. During a ghost box session, there were some intelligent responses to our questions. At one point it indicated that we were talking to a man named Walter. This was a significant piece of communication as a former teacher at the school was Walter Rolling. We moved into the exhibit room, where we did have a few activations on the REM box, but other than that it remained quiet.
Laskay Hall – This building was quite the entertaining one! We set up the equipment, mostly on the stage area. The REM box activated. During our communication session, I asked if whomever was with us to light up the EMF trip wire lights if they were part of the Women’s Institution. When they remained inactive, I changed the question and asked if they would light up the lights they were part of the Sons of Temperance. The REM box immediately activated, leaving us to believe that we were communicating with a male energy. Shortly after, I asked again if whomever was with us could confirm they were a male energy. This time the EMF trip wire lights activated and a male voice was heard through the ghost box saying “Boom”. It made all of us laugh and was definitely one of my favourite experiences of the evening.
King Railway Station – The activity in this location seemed to come and go – as if a train had arrived and left. The dead bell did activate a few times, as well as the REM box. The EMF trip wire also activated as if someone was walking from the entrance door into the waiting room. I did suggest playing the sound of an old steam engine train, to see if it would trigger anything. Playing this sound did bring about a small amount of EMF activity. I did attempt an Estes Method session in the station. I am unsure what the questions were, but I do remember saying that there were people outside, to call the police, that people were waiting. I was told afterwards that, while I was answering some of their questions intelligently, it appeared that two people were having a conversation and I was just the conduit for it.
King Christian/Emmanuel Baptist Church – While we weren’t able to conduct an investigation in the building, we did a quick dual Estes Method session. Alison and Kaz volunteered. Both on different device – Alison was plugged into a P-SB7 Pro ghost box, while Kaz was plugged in the Necrophonic app. Both were saying the same or similar things in unison – however sometimes it was a lot darker than we thought it would be. The name Michael came up many times – the only Michael I could find in my research notes was a Michael Tatton (1827-1903), the son of John and Rachel Tatton. John Tatton was a Trustee of the King Christian Church. Another name that kept coming up was Thomas. Due to the time frame, there are plenty of men by the name of Thomas that would have had a connection to the church. Kaz, however, kept bringing up the name Thomas, followed by “he killed me”, or “murder”. When questioned on who the person who committed the murder was, she said the name ‘Jim’. So, was there a James/Jim that murdered or killed a man by the name of Thomas? I am very interested in finding this out. I did have nothing in my research notes to indicate that something like that had happened.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The King Heritage & Cultural Centre is a very interesting location. Their buildings are unique and some of them hold a lot more than just artifacts. It was definitely an interesting evening. While I was disappointed that Mother Nature bypassed us with the thunderstorms, I was not disappointed the with activity that we got to experiences.
Out of all four of the buildings that we investigated; I feel that the Laskay Hall is the one that currently has the most activity. The rail station, I feel was being reserved this evening. It was as if whomever was still there was sniffing us out to see who we were and what we were all about. I feel that if we return for a second round of investigating, it will come more alive. I also believe that once its artifacts and furniture are returned to the building, the energy will feel more comfortable with communicating.
My feelings towards the church are the same way. However, I also feel like the Church is hiding something. There is something very out of place in the building, and I don’t believe that it has to do with it being under construction. While I feel that once the building gets its artifacts and furniture back it will open up more, I also feel like there is a deep-seated secret that it doesn’t want anyone to find out. This, to me, is why many people who enter the building don’t feel welcomed, or immediately feel like they need to leave. Perhaps this is why some of the construction workers feel as if this building holds a vortex/portal to the other side. Whatever it is, I want to find out and make sure that the correct story is acknowledged.
King Heritage & Cultural Centre, haunted or not? I say its definitely haunted. Some building more than others, but each with their own interesting stories! I can’t wait to return to investigate more. And how fun would it be to get a bigger group and sleep over in each building? That would be amazing. I call dibs on Laskay Hall!

Paula's Experience
Our team had a very active night investigating several historic locations in King City. The first site was the King City Cultural Centre, which stands on the grounds of the original S.S. #23 Kinghorn Schoolhouse (circa 1861). The building includes both the 1960s expansion—which now houses administrative offices, archives, and an east gallery—and the newly renovated original one-room schoolhouse where the long-term exhibit is displayed.
Inside the original schoolhouse, we had a notable experience right at the end of the night as we were packing up. A male voice—at least we think it was a man—seemed to say something aloud. It caught us by surprise and stood out as a potentially significant moment of the evening.
We moved on to Laskay Hall, also known as the Sons of Temperance Hall. This large space includes a stage and offered some promising activity. During our session, we had several pieces of equipment light up in response to our questions, suggesting some form of intelligent interaction. This room definitely stood out as one of the more active locations.
Next, we visited King Station, which originally operated from 1853 to 1967. While the room was currently bare due to recent painting, we experienced an unexplained incident with a strand of lights going off—as if someone had walked through the room. It was easy to imagine the building bustling with activity back in its day. Many times our bell went off that was in a separate room in reply to questions or statements we would say. I may have also captured an orb in one of my photos, although I can’t say for certain.
Our final stop was the King Christian Church, also known more recently as King Emmanuel Baptist Church. The building is currently under renovation. Two of our team members conducted Estes Method sessions and appeared to have an interactive experience—almost like a conversation—taking place between the two of them, possibly mediated by an unseen presence.
All in all, it was a very active evening, and I’m looking forward to returning once all the renovations are complete.

Kaz's Experience
4 buildings to explore?! And one’s an old church!!!??? Oh heck yesssss.
School house: the main part (where we set up) wasn’t overly active. I didn’t feel like anything really lingered. In the archive room, a row of wooden chairs were up on a shelf and one spoke to me. It was different from the rest. The staff said they would try and see where it was originally from.
I could hear a man’s voice, as if he was in the train room talking. One of the staff members also said she could hear it. We did explore the train room but Nothing much happened in this building. ** as we were packing up, we all heard a man’s voice either loudly clear his throat or growl at us. It was so clear we all stopped and turned around expecting to see a man standing by the stairs. The staff were over the other side of the building and didn’t even hear me when I went down the stairs to the foyer and said “hello?” A few times.
Hall: this was a beautiful building with some amazing artifacts in the basement. In the main hall area, lights went off on the stage, the strip lights went off in the floor, and lots of intelligent responses via necro.
Train station: surprisingly, this building was not as active as we thought. Some bell responses to questions and Rachel’s Estes seemed to have some intelligent responses.
Church: NOPE! When we did the original tour, I couldn’t get out of that building fast enough. I felt a small group of people-the ring leaders being two men and a woman-who were very predominant in their community but behind closed doors they were sinister and did horrible things in the name of religion, but mostly to feel powerful and to feed their sick minds. Usually, in places of worship I am harassed for my beliefs and spiritual practices, I even get called out for who I am lol but these spirits didn’t seem bothered by my background. They were just sick-minded individuals who hurt people for power and pleasure. They seemed very egotistical and therefore believed they were very powerful and not concerned by anyone’s beliefs or powers. I wasnt prepared for their energy and so I stood outside the threshold of the church and waited for the team to look around.
The second time we went into the church, I used a protection spell and was much more at ease. I did a double Estes with Alison and it seemed to be quite active (I don’t recall it as I was doing the Estes, not listening to it) I do recall 3 voices speaking over and over, and it was two males and a female voice, seemingly having a conversation between them. It was a lot of crystal clear words and sentences, but it was said so fast I couldn’t keep up and retell it all.
Overall, a lovely little place. I look forward to it being put back together and see the buildings completed with all their artifacts
