Kim Hadfield of Halton Paranormal Group displays a photo taken of the windows at the Barber Mill on Maple at River Drive. The right window appears to have a man's face, and the other shows a shadow of a head. Hadfield and her group have seen the face on the right on two separate occasions. She believes it's the ghost of Robert Barber, one of the Barber brothers who founded the mill in 1837. In addition to photographing the faces, she has recordings of whispers inside the mill.

"It (the recorder) picked up some really interesting EVP's (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) in that building. There were several whispers and what sounded like filing cabinet drawers slamming shut," said Hadfield. "I know the place was totally vacant during that time. "I shared the recording with the others in the group and in May, we came back at night to see if we could catch anything on our cameras," continued Hadfield. "One of the investigators recorded a whisper that sounded like `Help me,' and they had a couple photos with a man's face in the window and another window had a shadow of a man.
