Spooky Places

The iconic Banff Springs Hotel
The historic Banff Springs Hotel has a ghost who appears as a bride who is seen, dancing alone, in the dining room before she bursts into flames. The story goes that on her wedding day in 1932, she tripped on her wedding gown as she descended the stairs and broke her neck. Her unsettled spirit still comes back to haunt the hotel on occasion.
La Boheme, in Edmonton
Purportedly, guests still hear the thump and bump of a head hitting the stairs as a body is dragged down the 3 flights into the basement. Apparently, that's what happened to an employee of the establishment after she was murdered, then dismembered and thrown, piece by piece into the furnace, still used to this day by the way.
Calgary's Deane House
The Deane House is a restaurant and tea house now but at one time was a boarding house. A former resident was shot in a dispute on the stairs and his disembodied spirit still wanders the building.
