Behind Canada’s historic streets, grand hotels and remote outposts lie stories that refuse to rest. From grand railway hotels to fortified old towns, discover five Canadian destinations where history takes a decidedly darker turn.
1. Fort Garry Hotel, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Opened in 1913 as a railway hotel, this grand landmark is at the centre of Winnipeg’s ghost lore, with room 202 the focus of its most enduring legend.
2. Old Québec, Québec
Behind the fortified walls and centuries-old stone buildings, ghost walks reveal darker tales from one of North America’s oldest cities.
3. Caribou Hotel, Carcross, Yukon
First built during the Klondike Gold Rush, this historic hotel was rebuilt in 1910. Local legend says Bessie Gideon haunts its upper floor, with reports of unexplained sightings at the windows.
4. St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
Explore the city’s historic lanes on a Haunted Hike, with tales of duels, murders and restless spirits, or join a separate haunted pub crawl through downtown.
5. Vogue Theatre, Vancouver, British Columbia
Opened in 1941, this Art Deco theatre is said to be haunted by a tall man in a white tuxedo and black bow tie, reportedly spotted backstage and during performances.
