What better way to celebrate a birthday than by exploring Canada's largest abandoned mansion? This 65,000-square-foot estate, known as the Peter Grant Mansion, was once envisioned as a $25 million dream home but now stands frozen in time. Built by the wealthy lumber magnate Peter Grant, this sprawling property features dozens of rooms, grand staircases, and an unfinished indoor pool—all left abandoned before completion.
Join me as I roam through the eerie, empty halls of this once-luxurious estate, uncovering its fascinating history and taking in the breathtaking (yet decaying) architecture. From massive chandeliers to crumbling ceilings, this mansion is truly a modern-day time capsule.

on inside and we're going to do a live

see you guys later we're going in Good
Luck okay guys a very very rare
freaktography live stream I'm going to
take you guys here to Canada's largest
abandoned mansion not abandoned anymore
but it's still in abandoned
shape so hopefully the service is good I
am up
north in a place called haleybury
Ontario
and lot of snow as you can see it's very
cold I don't have to worry about
somebody calling it in and getting in
trouble this is why I never do live
streams guys turn this around so you can
see me this why I never do a live stream
cuz there's people out there who will
call the police if they know where you
are and then you get in trouble that's
why most explorers don't do live streams
anyways here we go bit of a long walk
down this driveway
here it's going to be pretty raw pretty
raw yeah so Carlo and Jamie are back at
the parking lot they're coming
in I got me some PS Blue Ribbon beer to
drink on the way in so you might get a
little bit drunk on this adventure I
don't know I'm already two beers in to
be honest with this so I might already
be
drunk filming with my cell
phone so it's going to be a bit shaky
and wobbly as again I've had two
beers and it's very slippery here and
inside at least they were nice enough to
plow the snow for us
here okayo
so here it is we were here last night we
did a night explore with the crew and
then we came back this morning we did a
video with Chris's film crew for his
YouTube channel which is called Mansion
impossible if you guys search Mansion
Impossible on YouTube you can follow
along with Chris's uh uh Pro progress of
uh buying this abandoned mansion so here
you go here's a look at it from the
outside
[Music]
okay all right here we go got to go
through the
snow this is a real raw raw uncut
unedited type of video
guys so if I fall you're going to see me
fall if I fart you're going to hear me
fart if I'm out of breath you're going
to hear me huffing and puffing which I'm
already there
really okay here we go look at how big
this door is here he
huge okay let's
go in we
go now the floor is coated with about an
inch of
ice so we are going to make our way in
here thanks my little hobby thank you
going to go in here and drop off my
camera
bag so I don't have to Lug all this [ __ ]
around with
me so
I got an idea put my beer right here for
a minute
and I will put my camera down for a
second okay one second there
guys my gloves
off take my camera bag
off take my pants
up put my gloves back
on put my gloves back on
a cold beer for the for the walk through
all right what up
guys all right we're going to get a bit
wobbly here for a minute here we
go
okay let me turn my light on again guys
this is a very raw type of
video my light on yep okay so where we
are are right now in the Mansion is this
would have been Peter Grant's uh master
bedroom where we are right now now
you're going to hear a lot of noise from
my feet because it's it's solid ice and
I have these things that're actually
called crampons it's a funny name
krampon okay
so this would have been Peter Grant's
master bedroom right here
ah
okay
and anyways the crampons make a lot of
noise going through so here is the
windows looking off towards the
lake these windows are four panels of
glass it's hurricane prooof almost
bulletproof wait till you see how much
of this glass is completely shattered
some of it has literally been shot out
by people with
guns all
right so big long fireplace right there
funny story about this fireplace that I
learned is that this fireplace actually
has a built-in air conditioning system
and cooling system because it would get
so hot if it was running that they would
have to use the cooling air conditioning
system to cool down the heat okay now I
hope that the service here keeps up so
that you guys can uh follow along and I
don't lose service cuz I am up pretty
pretty North so this here would be a
bathroom never finished
though and I will tell you guys this
Mansion
65,000 Square ft okay
65,000 ft mansion and this is the only
bedroom in the entire Mansion one
bedroom in the whole mansion
okay moving right
along here is a cigar smoking room with
a beautiful view of the lake now there
are penises everywhere and I don't just
mean Carlo pza there are penises
everywhere on the walls so if you are
offended by penises I'm sorry you are in

okay so where we are now this is the
residential part of the house where
Peter Grant would have lived now my hand
is very shaky I'm going to change
hands there we go so this is the
residental side where Peter Grant would
live and then through this door here
this takes us into what would be the
corporate headquarters and the corporate
offices for Grant forestry Products
okay so this is marble floor underneath
all this ice the entire building is
marble
flooring okay now it's a bit dark got
the light on so hopefully we can
see we're going to make our way through
the entire house on this video guys okay
the whole house we're going to go to the
roof we're going to see the
pool here's the main doors for the
corporate headquarters right
here and it's a bit of a mess in here
it's also pretty dark back here so I
think I'm going to turn and go back this
way and I'll show you guys the amazing
Master
staircase how many people watching have
seen videos of this mansion
there's a lot of people who've done
videos of this
Mansion myself included Mo was
here uh Mo was here earlier but Mo's now
on his way
home Mo was here last night with us he
was here this morning but he had to go
home okay here we go into this room here
up there you've got some big windows and
then above us would have been Peter
Grant's office we'll go up there in a
little while and I'll show you what the
office looks like it's really cold just
so you know so here's the main spiral
staircase right here it's
gorgeous
okay okay so here's the
staircase and it goes down to the pool
which we'll go down to
shortly and then it goes up to another
floor and then up to the roof where
we're going to go there
too but we are going to go this way see
what's through
here thank you for the birthday wishes
keep them coming thank you I I
appreciate you all thank you very much
this doesn't go anywhere so I'm going to
go back this
way guess who who's coming guys Rhythm
Ryder Carlo pelosa three ply Mafia back
at it holy crap you guys going Live on
YouTube rhythm Rider
UBC get out of
here remember we're live okay is
that UBC get out of
here
okay I'm going to take a look back
here it's a staircase here like a side
staircase and back here is like the
garage funny story on our way back to
the garage is there was a massive
generator stored back here from when
Peter Grant owned this place it was
humongous and someone stole the
generator backed up a truck brought in a
load of guys and they somehow got the a
generator out and stole it well Chris
fiser the guy who bought the Mansion
well he discovered who stole it let me
see if we can turn this around here so
Chris
fiser discovered through video footage
and other ways who stole the generator
he went to the police and the police
have done nothing to help him get the
generator back but he knows who took it
he knows where it is but he can't get it
back until the police will finally
somehow cooperate with them all right
I'm going to turn my camera around so
you don't see my ugly face and and there
we go back that's better thank you for
the birthday wishes thank you thank you
thank
you now I think we'll go down and see
the pool first we'll do the pool then
we'll go the way up to the top okay I
have to be very careful on the stairs
cuz it's so
slippery so hopefully I don't fall the
crampons I love saying the word crampon
are doing a pretty good job at keeping
me from
falling so let's go sorry guys this is
this in in a normal video I would cut
this part out so you don't have to watch
me fumbling down the stairs like a
baby
okay but I can't cut anything out when
I'm going live so fuzzy picture Dave
yeah probably because of where I am
okay here we are in the
pool not in the pool near the
pool not a very impressive indoor pool
I'd
say let's see
here that's the
pool and
looks right
here there's a couple of feet of uh
solid ice in the pool
there and then you've got some uh some
windows over here to get a look outside
let's go see hope I'm not uh fading on
you guys hope you can still see
me yeah I'm going to break up a little
bit here and there so why don't we go
back upstairs where the service is
probably better
feel like I might have just you so we're
going to go back
upstairs let's
go there we
go I see some German
Dana I see some German language
there okay I help we
go we are going to go up to the next
floor here
up the
stairs and we're going to go up into
what would have been Peter Grant's
office oh man puffing and
puffing okay here we go
[Applause]
is it this way I think it's this
way yeah here we go
okay so
this would have been Peter Grant's
office I'm going to put my glasses on so
I can read your comments
because I'm 50 I can't see for
[ __ ] there we go
okay
anyways this would have been the office
of Mr Peter
Grant and they would have put a glass
wall across here up here you can sort of
see thank you Carol you could sort of
see the frame where the glass would have
gone
so you would have had your massive
window there and then a bit of a a glass
wall here and this would have been
Peter's office
okay moving right
[Applause]
along it's cold so cold in
[Applause]
here I do enjoy this going live it's fun
seeing comments in real time and talking
to you guys and answering your questions
as we
go so of all the
windows in this Mansion such as this one
there are only like five windows at the
most that are not
broken and I think I found four of them
earlier
so nice view of the
lake I'll be careful I'll be very
careful thank you for your
concern okay we're going to go into what
would have been a a
showroom for Grant forestry
Products and I will say while I'm
walking and I said it earlier make sure
you're following Mansion Impossible on
YouTube on Facebook and on Instagram
that is the Instagram account for Chris
fiser and his family and their efforts
to buy and restore this entire
building what I can tell you is it will
be some sort of a wellness
Retreat that's all I can say Chris was
not uh Chris was rather vague with his
information because he's trying to hold
his cards close so that the big reveal
isn't already known anyways his YouTube
channel will be a great resource for
following along with the process of him
buying this mansion and all the work
that he's
doing again I warned you of all the
penises on the wall there are many of
them and there's a couple coming
up the graffiti in here is is vile and
not
nice all right
okay moving along again very slippery we
have to be
careful next floor up is to the roof so
we're just going to take one more look
through
here like check out this glass like this
glass this is solid solid glass and
people have managed to shatter almost
every window it's
crazy this is an Elevator Shaft right
here
okay all right I think Carlo and R and
Ryder are probably up on the roof so
we're going to go up
there uh in regards to the show Chris is
still in the process of getting a
network to potentially take the show in
the meantime he has his YouTube channel
where he's posting his own videos where
people can
watch so that's why I keep recommending
you guys follow Mansion Impossible on
YouTube so you can see what's going on
until they manage to get a network to
sign off on the show
Okay so this part of the
Mansion was going to
be uh an art gallery where he would have
his
art there's Carlo and Rhythm out there
we'll go out there and see them in a
minute those
goofballs lot of graffiti in
2023 I slept right here if you saw my
second video from this location I came

across the house thank you Chris or
Carla Shepard thank you Carla Shepard

[Applause]
greetings so we're going to go to the
other
side now and then down a
floor all right see a sneaky cameraman
hiding behind the the wall
here trying to hide but I see him this
is one of Chris's cameramen for the
Mansion impossible YouTube channel he's
filming me so you might see this clip as
I walk
by
[Applause]
okay
moving
along again the crampons are making a
lot of
noise and then go through here hello my
man now watch this guys look at the size
of this window ready floor to ceiling
window and it's all shattered I cannot
imagine how much effort it would have
taken to shatter this whole
window now I'm going to leave this here
cuz I need both hands and I only have
one hand cuz I'm filming with the other
one I hope hope I don't get cut off here
guys thank you
Christa I hope we don't lose our service
here we are going to go down and we're
going to see the home theater and I have
something really cool to show you that I
didn't know until just last night and
then we're going to go see the boat
house and then we're maybe going to wrap
it
up so it's
dark hopefully the lights will do some
justice here and don't
get losing connection I'm going to go
back this way okay now I'm back to live
again okay I'm back I'm back we're back
I'm not going to go in this
room here is the home theater and
there's all this wood in there wood was
sourced from the bottom of the ocean
okay right there those beams they're not
supporting beams they're just decorative
from the bottom of the
ocean okay we're back thank you thank
you Chris
McGregor moving along so this is the
sort of the basement wck room area
entertaining
space and thanks R Brown so this is
interesting you see this here on the
wall
guys so I'm going to go up close and I'm
going to show you so before I go up
close I'm going to tell you guys um
Peter Grant invented a product it a sort
of particle board for home construction
okay and kind of like plywood but it's
uh so like I forget it's called OSB but
I forget what OSB stands for anyway so
he invented this product and that's what
his company was known for and this piece
of art here is all little squares of OSB
okay see if I can find one here's one
right here so here's a little tile of
OS particle board and he made he had
somebody make this thing on the wall I'm
going to back up a little bit
here and
apparently if you guys are still with me
if you look at the wall a certain way it
makes some sort of um a design okay but
I don't see it all I see is a bunch of
squares but apparently if you look at it
the yes that's thank you oriented strand
board thank you if you look at it a
certain way it makes some kind of a
design but I don't see it I had joked
earlier that given all the penises on
the walls here if you squint your eyes
and stare at this you might see a very
large penis
anyways back this way there's another
really cool thing probably the coolest
thing about this house that I learned
last
night so there was all kinds of art that
was going to go up in this house
okay and on this wall right here
do you see all of those little uh those
little support things there's eight of
them four on the top four on the bottom
well Peter Grant purchased an actual
prehistoric shark that has been stuffed
and mounted I don't know if it's
prehistoric some kind of a very rare
shark a real one stuffed it and mounted
well that shark was going to live right
here okay this would have had a huge
stuffed shark on the
wall and then lots of other art around
so here is the other
fireplace so we're right below the
master bedroom and here's another one of
those fireplaces okay okay we're going
to move back along this way
now hope I'm still with you
guys I feel like I might keep cutting
out here and
there so here would be a cigar smoking
room right here so you've got matching
ceiling up top and then another one here
and this is where you'd sit and smoke a
cigar and hang out
okay so there you
go I think I mentioned earlier uh 65,000
Square ft is the size of this house and
I think Chris told me earlier that Peter
Grant stopped at $75 million the money
that he had invested in this Mansion
while he was building it at the time
that he had declared bankruptcy was $75
million that he had invested in this
house okay now I'm going to go to the
boat house I might lose service okay so
we're going to see what happens and if I
lose service then I will rush back up to
the top but not too fast cuz I don't
want to
fall
so the good thing now my first was lost
it was like
a I know where I'm going so I don't have
to worry about my trying to find my way
around anyways these stairs here are so
sketchy because of the
ice okay thank the Lord for
crampons but as you can see it's very
very not very
sturdy but the stairs are made of um
marble this is marble
stairs making my way
around okay somebody said the pattern on
the wall was very obvious as I just
walked by it I didn't look at it so I
didn't see it okay again guys if we lose
connection don't leave I'll be right
back okay
I I think my phone will tell me when I'm
not connected so here we go we are now
at the very bottom floor and where we're
going
now is Into The Boat
House and if you're still with me The
Boat House was built before anything
else here I think I see somebody over
there filming is that ridm Rider no
that's one of the cameramen yeah
okay shot nope not at all the boat was
65 ft long that Peter Grant had built
and he built the boat house first for
the boat then he decided to build the
Mansion after he built the boat house so
right beyond that light there is the
lake and this was built for a 65t
yacht all right okay we're going to go
back upstairs instead of going into the
boat house because I'm probably going to
lose service if I go in there
so here we go back up the scary
stairs make sure I didn't miss
anything okay one floor
up trying to hold my camera steady but
it's not easy
guys oh okay one more floor to go
okay up and up I'm not alone Mr Al I'm
with a bunch of
people thanks for your concern
though oh no I think my beard fell
down oh no there they go oh it's over
there okay that's somebody nice of
somebody move my beard for me let's go
get it
[Music]
okay okay we look
outside let's go look
outside now what you can't see right now
let me getat to my breath for a minute
okay so what you can't see here is that
that surrounding the Mansion it's like a
moat like a fake rock moat and it had a
water feature that surrounded the
mansion that went to a
waterfall that went through
there yes if you watch my previous
videos if you search freaktography uh
Peter Grant Mansion I have two videos
here previously one from
20022 my first time here in 2023
and you can see in
2022 there was vandalism but not quite
as bad and then 2023 a year later it was
worse and now it's just
terrible
cheers there's the roof I was
on
okay only 30 people watching I thought
way more people would want to watch this
live I guess not all right so we're at
39 coming up on 40 minutes so why don't
I what is that to the right this is like
a uh I guess it's like you like a
carport not a carport but you just sort
of drive into it this is probably part
of the driveway right
here because this is the main entrance
for the office and this is the main
entrance for the residence so this is
probably the driveway and the carport
right
here all right why don't we go and we
finish things off back on the roof
okay
okay all
right back through here
don't have much to say right now just
walking I have something to show you
though actually now that we're over
here so look at the glass over
here
and I'll show you the glass so each this
is uh one layer of glass right here and
then you have
the plastic yeah yeah you got got a
charge for Dr a Char yeah go in my
camera bag there should I might have
taken them out yeah I think the same
with mine so we have to come back to
draw in yeah that's okay yeah of course
it is yeah yeah for sure I'm still my
batter died oh I'm still going to throw
today so you can just wait and do it
tomorrow I'm throwing in today yeah
that's
fine all
right yeah
so as I was saying the the the windows I
feel like I already told you guys this
but you have one panel of glass right
here then you have the plastic and then
you have another another panel of glass
behind the plastic then you have one
panel of glass and another plastic and
then another panel of glass behind so
two layers of plastic four layers of
glass and these people still manage to
