Claudia Belitski
Founder and Owner of Scary Company

Founder and Owner of Scary Company, an immersive ghost tour redefining cultural tourism in downtown Barrie. Since its launch in August 2025, Scary Company has blended theatrical performance with historical storytelling, offering lantern-lit tours and curated narratives that bring Barrie’s heritage to life. 

In its first season, the attraction drew hundreds of guests from local, national, and international audiences. Claudia has collaborated with downtown businesses to create sold-out themed events like the Witch Night Experience and Krampus storytelling dinners, encouraging visitors to stay overnight, explore local restaurants, and boosting foot traffic while supporting the local economy.

Claudia holds a Technical College diploma in Marketing, with a foundation in History, from Germany. Drawn to Barrie for its vibrant downtown and rich heritage, she actively contributes to community tourism initiatives such as Doors Open Barrie and FrightFest, positioning the city as a destination for immersive, experience-driven tourism.
