    Fort Horstead, Chatham Kent

    Anyone know anything about Fort Horstead? I went there on a ghost hunt last night, first one and we found some graffiti on one of the walls from a chap in the West Kents and a chap in the Pioneer Corps. It's not open to the public as they are trying to sell business units.

    That's not a ghost in the doorway by the way, it's the curator.
