HOPKINS TOMB. - Knock If You Dare💀

Samuel Hopkins was born in Cork, Ireland on December 17th 1822. At the young age of 16, he decided to leave his home for the military and headed towards Ontario, Canada where he found himself in Toronto, Ontario.

Hopkins was stationed in Port Maitland when he met his first wife, Joanne Jones. Samuel had a dream to become rich and decided to chase the Gold Rush in California so he took off on foot to chase those dreams.

After 6 months he finally arrived in California, but luck wasn't on his side when he fell ill and had to return back to Ontario in 1851.

He first wound up living in Dunville, Ontario before settling in Port Colborne, Ontario where he became a well known businessman and gained his fortunes.

Mr. Hopkins' wife, Joanne passed away and he remarried Catharine Thomas. Catherine soon after divorced Samuel and took off with a sizable amount of his fortune.

This man was sought after.

Upon my research, I found out there was another woman in town named Arabella Williams, whom was never married and lived her whole life on a property which is now reserved as the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum. This woman took Samuel Hopkins to court for $10,000 for Breach of Promise for not marrying her! 😹 They ended settling outside of court for $1,250.

Hopkins died October 12th, 1899.

He is now known to be seen walking the Oakwood Cemetery with his trusty dog companion. His dog has also been seen at times guarding the tomb itself.

Legend has it that, If you enter the masoleum yard and walk around the tomb 7 times, knocking each time you pass his door you will be cursed.

On the other hand, If you only circle 3 times it is said to bring you good luck.

Three teens apparently each met their demise in parculiar ways soon after going to disturb Hopkins Tomb in the 1980s.

If you plan to visit Samuel Hopkins, it is said that around March 21st (Spring Equinox) is when he is the most visible.

The gate is open... Would you go in??👻
