This magical extravaganza includes Ted and Marion Outerbridge’s connection to a Canadian Prime Minister who had a predilection for séances and communications from the “great beyond.”
Indeed, it seems quite probable that the Right Honorable William Lyon Mackenzie King, the 10th prime minister of Canada, visited the illusionists’ home in Smiths Falls, known as the Keyhole House, because the previous owner Robert Brodie seconded the motion to name King as Liberal Leader, ultimately leading to King’s two-decade tenure as Canada’s Prime Minister. Many a midnight meeting occurred in the Keyhole House, and given King’s belief in the spirit world, he occasionally sought counsel from mystical psychics and mediums.
The Keyhole House is now an enchanting sanctuary inhabited by Ted and Marion Outerbridge, who have restored the once-dilapidated home to be guardians of this historic gem. As they meticulously refinished the creaking floors that carried the weight of countless footsteps, a treasure trove of cherished, historic relics materialized before their eyes.
