Blessings.

Thanks and blessings.

One note:  please do not contact the beadery store about their child, or this other haunting.  I suspect it will be received with negative consequences for myself as the owners wanted this investigation to be quiet.  Early in the 90's, when paranormal activity was becomming the norm, the Ottawa Citizen published an article on this store and it decreased the number of visitors and sales.  I guess money is more important than a spiritually clean store.  

Thanks for your comments.  

The Mayfair Theatre was designed and built in  1932 in the depths of the Great Depression, as the second Spanish Revival style atmospheric cinema in the city.
Fred Robertson, a retailer from Almonte, was the Mayfair's original owner. The Mayfair opened on 5 December 1932 with its showings of The Blue Danube. Adult admission prices were 15 cents for matinees, 25 cents for evening performances, with each child admitted for ten and 15 cents respectively. After The Blue Danube completed a three-day run, the Mayfair presented its first double bill with Bring 'Em Back Alive and X Marks the Spot. At the outset, the theatre's sound system was supplied by Northern Electric while Montreal-based Canadian Theatre Supply provided the projection and stage equipment.
 
In October 1981, the Mayfair adopted a repertory format and in the following month Keith Davidson became theatre manager.
During the heyday of the new “talking picture” theatres, strong competition with movie palaces encouraged new independent theatres to differentiate themselves as true neighbourhood cinemas.
Despite alterations to the storefronts, renovations to the lobby and the removal of the original upright sign, the Mayfair Theatre maintains a high degree of integrity, looking essentially the same as it did when it opened,
With its opening in 1932, the Mayfair Theatre continued the tradition of owner-operated theatres along Bank Street established when the Avalon Theatre was completed in 1928.  With the closing of the Phoenix Theatre (1915) in 1991, the Mayfair became the oldest surviving movie theatre business on Bank Street.  Its popularity as both a neighbourhood and city-wide theatre, its intended purpose, has remained throughout its history.
Believed to have been designed by Mr. John P. MacLaren*, an Ottawa architect.  MacLaren was born in Wakefield in 1865 and was educated at the University of Toronto.  After practicing in southern Ontario, he returned to Ottawa in 1897. His most noteworthy buildings in the City are the First Church of Christ Scientist, and the West Branch Library, 1918. He also designed Knox Presbyterian Church (1926) in Manotick.

The ‘atmospheric style’ of theatre design is attributed to John Eberson (1875-1955), an Austrian-born architect, who began designing theatres in the United States in the 1920s.  He became renowned in 1923 when he designed the world’s first ‘atmospheric theatre,’ the Holblitzelle's Majestic Theatre in Houston Texas.  Often integrating other styles of the time, Eberson’s concept was based on the desire to create an environment of illusion for Americans to distract them from life's problems and provide them with an atmosphere of rest and beauty.  The style imbued the theatre goer with the sensation of being transported to the skies, villages, and lands brought forth through murals, twinkling stars, staircases, lanterns, and much more.  Common themes included an Italian garden, Persian court, and Spanish patio.

Research conducted by staff confirmed that the Mayfair Theatre has cultural heritage value and is worthy of protection under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.  Ontario Regulation outlines the criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest. 
In 2008, the Mayfair  was designated an official heritage building by the City of Ottawa for its unique architectural and cultural value to the nation’s capital.

In November 2008, a new partnership consisting of filmmakers Lee Demarbre and Ian Driscoll, projectionist and film conservator Paul Gordon and film scholar John Yemen announced that they had signed a ten-year lease with owner Stephen Ng.In July 2009 two of the founding members of the new partnership, John Yemen and Paul Gordon left the group to pursue other projects.[citation needed] John Yemen was the individual who sent the city a proposal for heritage designation in the summer of 2008. The makeup of the partnership is now Lee Demarbre (programmer), Ian Driscoll (marketing), Petr Maur (graphic design), and Josh Stafford.

Courtyard Restaurant

Ontario - Ottawa - Courtyard Restaurant - A woman is often seen looking out one of the second floor windows. Also, staff closing up for the night have heard footsteps, and have seen what they believe to be a person. Theory is that the woman was trapped in the building during a fire, and is now coming to the window looking for her rescuer.

I'll be asking the people in charge there if we can conduct a Resident Investigation.

What is mentioned about OVPPI

Community of the Week

This week's featured community is the Ottawa Valley Paranormal/Phenomenon Investiagions, or OVPPI for short. It was created by CanWEBada, and is a website for the investigation of paranormal activity within the Ottawa Valley area.
 
OVPPI has two very important qualities I want to highlight. First -- much like last week's Site of the Week -- it covers a unique subject. The second quality further refines this: it's targeted at a local level. By doing this OVPPI makes it easier for visitors to feel like they're part of a community, since they may already share their physical community with each other.
 
That's not to say balance isn't needed; it most certainly is. Create a site that's too local and you risk alienating those that may drop in from other parts of the world wide web. Create a site that's too broad and chances are someone else has already done it. OVPPI does a great job at striking this balance by using elements such as the "Latest Global UFO Reports" widget while at the same time having a widget that displays the local weather.
 
Congratulations once again to CanWEBada and everyone at the Ottawa Valley Paranormal/Phenomenon Investigations! Stop by their introduction page for more information.
