Ottawa's Scary, Never Boring History - The Tales from the Masoleum at Beechwood Cemetery is excellent. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and framed the 'scary' stories with interesting historical facts of the cemetery and Ottawa, which made the experience not only fun but informative. Great way to learn about Ottawa's history.
