Charlotte County Court House — the executed convicts of St. Andrews, New Brunswick

The Charlotte County Court House in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, was built in 1840 and served as the centre of justice for the county, including as the site of public executions. Several convicted murderers were hanged at the courthouse during the 19th century, and their spirits are believed to have remained. Visitors and courthouse employees have reported hearing footsteps in the empty courtroom, the sound of chains rattling in the former holding cells, and the apparition of a man in prison clothing seen in the corridors. The courtroom itself has been the site of reports of cold spots near the judge's bench and the dock where the accused once stood. Some visitors have described the overwhelming sensation of being judged — an appropriate feeling given the building's purpose, but one that intensifies to an uncomfortable degree in certain areas. The courthouse's solid stone construction, its high-ceilinged rooms, and the echoing acoustics of its hallways contribute to its haunted atmosphere. The building's 19th-century judicial archives include accounts of the executions carried out there, providing historical documentation for the deaths that many believe fuel the haunting.
