Casa Loma's Guests Experience

On my first ever visit to Casa Loma several years ago, I had an experience in the tunnel between the house and the stable. I had at the time never heard of any stories of hauntings or paranormal activity there.
I was walking through that tunnel and heard as clearly as if they were in the same room, what sounded like one or more horses walking. The sounds of hovves, reins/bridles and horses snorting and neighing was so clear I thought they must be slose by. My husband was walking ahead of me and I called ou to him "where are those horses?" He turned and looked at me, then around the tunnel obviously puzzled. He gave me a strange look and asked "what horses?" I was very surprised that he had not heard it, because it had been very loud. I dismissed it as nothing when I realized that I was the only one that had heard anything. It was years afterward that I heard that this had happened to other people there.
