In the winter of 1922, the quiet farming community of Caledonia Mills was shaken by a barrage of unexplained events centered on the MacDonald family home. Fires erupted spontaneously inside the farmhouse, with clothing and hay igniting in ways witnesses insisted could not be natural. Objects reportedly moved on their own, footsteps echoed through empty rooms, and livestock were found tied together in intricate knots. The disturbances grew so intense that investigators, journalists, and curious locals flocked to the site to witness the phenomenon firsthand. Although some early accounts blamed supernatural forces, later observers suspected a human agent within the household. No definitive explanation was ever proven, leaving the Caledonia Mills Poltergeist as one of Canada's most enduring and debated paranormal mysteries.
