History sleuth Andrew King with two Manotick stories: A haunting and a long-forgotten distillery
And King is a man who loves Manotick, the community in south Ottawa he calls home, and he's discovered that it is “hauntingly beautiful”. King describes the village as “a quaint little town with white picket fences and historic homes and buildings lining picturesque streets.
What I didn’t know is that there is a dark secret lying within its most recognized jewel…a ghost in the mill.” King is referring to Watson’s Mill. A beautifully restored nod to Manotick’s past on the west bank of the Rideau River.
