Haunted Lovers draws inspiration from the legend of the Fort Garry Hotel’s haunted bride and the dark, enduring passions of Gothic tales such as Wuthering Heights, Dracula, and Frankenstein. Their themes of longing, loss, obsession, and love beyond the grave set the atmosphere for an evening of haunting encounters and gothic romance.

👻 The Samhain Death Ceremony Michelle will be guiding us through our Samhain Death Ceremony. This will be a pivotal moment in our evening, where we briefly cross the threshold and dwell safely in between the worlds as we honour our loved ones in Spirit, and take the time for deep reflection and intention setting before we come back to be fully present with every magickal moment of the masquerade. A chance to make offerings at our Death Altar before and after.

🕯️ The Sinner’s Confessional step inside, close the curtain, and confess your sins. Leave behind an anonymous secret, forbidden desire, wicked thought, or something you’d rather take to the grave. What happens in the confessional stays in the confessional. 🖤

A Night You'll Never Forget...

Step into a world of shadow, seduction, and lingering love.

The Haunted Lovers Masquerade is an immersive gothic celebration set within the legendary haunted halls of the historic Fort Garry Hotel. Here, candlelight dances across forgotten corridors, music drifts through the darkness, and every room whispers stories from another time.

This is more than a masquerade It is an invitation to transform.

Behind your mask, you are free to become someone entirely new. To disappear into a world where identities blur, strangers become kindred spirits, and every glance feels strangely familiar.

The experience unfolds slowly, drawing you deeper into its spell long after you've crossed the threshold.

Expect an evening where the past lingers beside the present, where mystery and romance entwine beneath flickering candlelight, and where every corner of the hotel feels alive with forgotten stories waiting to be discovered.

Despite its name, Haunted Lovers is for more than couples. Come with a lover, gather your friends, or join us solo for a night of gothic romance and wicked company. Singles, couples, and kindred spirits of all genders and orientations are welcome, no romantic plus one required. 🖤
