The Haunting

The building historically known as Euclid Hall and commonly called the Keg Mansion is a preserved historic house in Toronto that has been adapted for commercial use by The Keg restaurant chain. Sources identify the building's association with the Massey family (Hart Massey) in its history and note its continued public accessibility as a restaurant location. The site appears in local media coverage concerning its heritage and possible redevelopment. In Toronto's folkloric record the mansion is included in compilations of local ghost stories and regional haunted-place directories. A recurring local legend, recorded in secondary folklore sources, holds that while the house was owned by the Massey family one of the family's servants hanged herself in the front foyer. This suicide story is presented in the available materials as local lore rather than a documented contemporary incident; no primary historical records, dates, or named spectral entities are provided in the supplied sources. Because the haunting detail is preserved in ghost-story collections and aggregator listings but lacks corroborating primary documentation in the provided material, it should be treated as part of Toronto's oral and popular folklore surrounding the mansion rather than as an established historical fact.
