5 haunted locations in Canada

 

Fairmont Banff Spring Hotel, Alberta

The Fairmont Banff Springs, formerly and commonly known as the Banff Springs Hotel, is a historic hotel located in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The entire town including the hotel, is situated in Banff National Park, a national park managed by Parks Canada. The hotel overlooks a valley towards Mount Rundle, both of which are situated within the Rocky Mountain mountain range. The hotel is located at an altitude of 1,414 metres (4,639 ft).

This hotel was opened in 1888 and is known for its awesome views of the mountains and Banff National Park, but it's also a good place to look for ghosts! Some visitors and staff say they've seen a ghostly bride walking up and down one of the hotel's marble staircases. A couple of the rooms are supposed to have spirits that cause noises and otherwise make it hard for people to get a good sleep.

Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, Ontario

The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the Toronto Islands in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Begun in 1808, it is the oldest existing lighthouse on the Great Lakes, and one of Toronto's oldest buildings. It’s said to be haunted by its first lighthouse keeper. People have heard moaning noises coming from the lighthouse and seen a light there even though it’s been out of use for decades.

Craigdarroch Castle, British Columbia

Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, is a historic, Victorian-era Scottish Baronial mansion. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada due to its landmark status in Victoria.

A huge mansion built by a coal-mining millionaire in the 1890s, this is one of Victoria's top tourist attractions. Visitors to the restored castle have reported hearing a mysterious piano playing as they walk through the halls. A woman in white, supposedly the wife of the first owner, has been spotted several times standing and looking out the castle’s windows.

Fort Garry Hottel, Manitoba

The Fort Garry Hotel is a historic hotel in Downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba that opened for the first time on December 11, 1913. It is one of Canada's grand railway hotels and was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981.

There have been many guests staying at the hotel over the years, and some of them have reported strange things like ghostly figures in the halls, rattling silverware, spooky noises and a more vague feeling of a "presence." This hasn't hurt the hotel's business at all — some people actually request to stay in the rooms that are supposed to be the most haunted!

The Algonquin Resort, New Brunswick

The Algonquin Resort is a Canadian coastal resort hotel in the Tudor Revival style, located in St. Andrews, New Brunswick.

Despite its ghostly repertoire, it has not been the site of any disturbing events. Rather the opposite has occurred–the resort has been so beloved by staff and visitors alike that some have refused to pass on to the next world. Among the stubbornly devoted staff is a helpful bellhop who disappears into thin air after offering his services. A former maid sets tables in the dining room and sometimes disembodied noises like footsteps or the jiggling of keys will make you wonder whether you’re hearing things. In Room 473, the spirit of an abandoned bride can be heard sobbing.

The resident ghosts are so famous they have been the stars of Canada’s own ghost show, “Creepy Canada” and many return guests can attest to their own unsettling experiences. Intrigued?
