When players from around the world load up the popular, UK-produced horror video game Phasmophobia , one of the levels they can choose to play is a big farmhouse with a large porch, sitting in a dark rural landscape.

When you enter the house, you will find a few unassuming envelopes on a welcome mat on the floor. After a closer look, players from Ontario may see a familiar city address on the envelopes: "Bleasdale Farm, Hamilton, ON L8R 2L2."

"My first reaction was disbelief," said Nicole Sharpe, who has been playing the video game since October 2024.

While the farm is fictional, the postal code is real — a location in downtown Hamilton, off James Street North.
