About the author
Terry Boyle is a Canadian writer known for the Haunted Ontario series published by Dundurn Press, including Haunted Ontario: Ghostly Inns, Hotels, and Other Eerie Places and its later volume, Haunted Ontario 4: Encounters with Ghostly Shadows, Apparitions, and Spirits. The books collect reported hauntings tied to specific Ontario locations, among them inns, hotels, and other sites with local ghost lore, and are framed by Boyle's own role as a guide leading readers through this material rather than as a historian offering documented analysis. The writing favors anecdote and atmosphere over sourcing, presenting each site's story as part of a regional tradition of ghost-telling. Readers drawn to Canadian folklore, travel-adjacent ghost stories, and collections built around named, visitable places are the intended audience. The series has run to multiple volumes and editions, reflecting sustained interest in Ontario's reputed haunted sites over several printings.
