White Otter Castle OntarioThe 'castle' is a three story log building, which was built by eccentric James (Jim or Jimmy) Alexander McOuat. He built it single handedly, with red pine logs which he felled and cut himself. The construction started in 1908 and it was completed in 1914. It was unsure why he decided to build the 'castle' where he did in the wilderness, it is thought to be either of two reasons. James was from Scotland originally and fell in love with his bosses (a squire) daughter, but as James did not have any property marriage was out of the question, so after he moved to ontario he decided to build a castle of his own or his brother who tried to urge him to go into buiseness with him and James who kept refusing, made the comment that his brother would not make any money in trapping and that he would die in some trappers cottage, so he built his home to prove his brother wrong. James died at the age of 58 in 1920 by drowning, when his body was eventually found he was buried near to his castle. In 1984 the castle was becoming a ruin it was saved by The White Otter friends who have aided a conservation of the building in order for it to keep going. The castle remains a big tourist attraction with many people visiting each year.

It is believed that the ghost of Jimmy still roams around his 'castle' and the surrounding lake. Some say that they have not seen him but his eerie presence can still be felt.
