Samuel Pettyham rented a house on the outskirts of town, and one night, as he was being driven home in a carriage from a friend's house, the horse stopped and would not budge. Pettyham got out and offered to walk the rest of the way. Upon entering the laneway of his little house, he spotted what looked like a lantern carried by another person, so he hurried to meet them. When the figure stepped into the moonlight, Pettyham took one look and fled back up Queen's Road, swearing he would never spend another night at the house. He claimed to have seen a tall man with his head completely severed, almost at the shoulder. The headless specter in question is the ship's captain. He was in love with a beautiful woman who lived in Pettyham's house on the outskirts of town. When he was at sea, the woman flirted with a local man, who was jealous and decided to rid himself of competition. One night, as the captain was leaving the little house, the other man cut his head of, close to the shoulders. The legend says the murderer was never tried, and now the headless captain's soul still roams the site where he was murdered, looking for his killer.^[55] It was featured on Creepy Canada.

The building's rear staircase is the supposed dwelling place of a ghost that is said to playfully grab onto the robes of unsuspecting judges who are passing through its hallways. The ghost also walks the staircase at all hours of the day and night, frightening visitors by the loud sounds of its footsteps. The building's cellar was originally used as a holding area for prisoners and their moaning can still be heard to this day if you're standing within the vicinity of that room. Also, the Northwest attic is said to contain a ghostly presence but no one is sure who or what it is. People who have been in the attic claim they are often suddenly overcome with a peculiar 'feeling.' Perhaps the most active room in Old City Hall is Courtroom 33 which is believed to be haunted by the spirits of the last men condemned to hang in Canada. Because this is said to be the most haunted room in the building, many paranormal researchers and journalists have attempted to spend the night in this room every Halloween, as a tradition, of course! According to John Robert Colombo's Haunted Toronto, one group of reporters managed to make it through the night only to abandon their mission prematurely at 4:00 AM claiming they witnessed "cool fogs" and heard weird noises that left them "glued to the floor."^[108]

Before capital punishment was abolished in Canada, the jail was the site of quite a number of hangings with the building's first execution taking place in January 1908. The jail's most famous ghost is that of a former female prisoner who hanged herself in her tiny cell. She is said to float around the building's main rotunda and is believed to be a very angry spirit due to her frequent outbursts and screams.
