A Quick Note:
I love to see all the decorated homes added to the map not just elaborate ones - simple, cute and fun displays put just as many smiles on faces as huge elaborate yard and street displays (plus they are great for the little kiddos!). Sending in a photo with your submission makes it easy for people to decide if they want to make it part of their tour. I add every single house that is submitted, not just the “most decorated in the neighbourhood” - that is why I have categories and tags. My family and I try to make it a point every year to see almost EVERY house that is submitted, that was 200 submissions in 2023! If you need me to come by your house and take a photo or video for the map - reach out and I will be more happy to do so. Plus, I love to meet fellow haunters! Again: This map takes submissions of all haunts from Ottawa and Beyond: 613, 819, 343, 753, 468, 873 & any other area codes close by the Eastern Ontario Region…
