Quebec
- Hudson - Auberge Willow Place Inn 
A servant girl was murdered here by men planning a military
uprising in the 1830's. They buried her in the basement, but "Maude" still
goes around making her presence known. For some reason mostly in November,
Maude stacks rocks up outside of the door to #8, knocks things over, and sings
aloud in the hallways. 208 Main Road tel:1-450-458-7006
Victoria,
British Columbia - Andersen House
Obviously British Columbia caught the curse of Maine (or maybe vice versa) and
has a lot of haunted homes of ex sea captains and ships' builders...
This particular captain, Captain William Spring, pops in to say, "hi" (decades
since his death) to visitors on the second floor, where he used to stay.
Victoria,
British Columbia - Bedford Regency Hotel 
The ghost of a barfly named Brady who was murdered in the basement still haunts
the stairway to the basement, and the smell of his cigars is sometimes smelled.
His girlfriend, apparently condemned to eternity with him, hangs outside of room
49, her former residence. Her perfume can sometimes be smelled there.
Victoria,
British Columbia - Cherry Bank B &B, Hotel
Built in 1897, it is home to a phantom telephone caller and cutlery re-arranger
named Miss Hamber; and a little girl who haunts the hallways. Room 4 has a door
that comes off it's hinges.
Victoria,
British Columbia - SuperSave Lodge
The kitchen is haunted by an apparition that likes to brush up against staff and
give them the chills; Room 115 is haunted by a similar shadowy figure, as is the
third floor.
Victoria,
British Columbia - James Bay Inn 
Haunted by a temperamental artist named Emily Carr who died here during WWII
when the building was a hospital, the James Bay's bar suffers from an Emily
haunting if anyone dares criticize her artwork.
Winnipeg,
MB - Fort Garry Hotel
Room 202 is said to be haunted by a cloaked figure who stands at
the foot of the bed. Others have said it wears a ball gown. Workers have
reported strange lights and noises on the second floor as well.
Alberta
- Banff - Banff Springs Hotel -
A bride who was descending the staircase caught her dress aflame on a candle
then fell to a horrible death here. She is seen wandering the hotel. Where
room 873 was, a family was allegedly murdered and their spirits tormented guests
to the point that the hotel bricked over the door. A little girl's
fingerprints couldn't be washed from the mirrors in the room.
Alberta
- Edmonton - La'Boheme Restaurant, Bed and Breakfast -
A woman was killed, drug down three flights of stairs, dismembered, and thrown
in the furnace. Today you can hear her head popping off each step late at night.
By the way, they still haven't replaced the furnace.
Yukon
Territory, Carcross - Caribou Hotel
I couldn't find a website, address, or even a street but I get the feeling
it's not a very big town...
There are stories of a womanly figure staring from the windows and of banging on
the 3rd floor's floorboards. This old hotel has a vivid history, including that
of a resident cursing parrot who lived to be 60.
Saskatchewan,
Saskatoon - Delta Bessborough Hotel -
An old man in gray wearing a fedora hat fades in and walks about the banquet
room late at night, staff says. He'll smile at you then fade out again.
601 Spadina Crescent East
Saskatchewan,
Regina - Saskatchewan Radisson Plaza -
Floors 5 and 8 are home to many apparitions, as this hotel is apparently a
popular place to kill yourself... In the "Royal Suite" a cabinet opened and a
vase flew across the room at an unwitting chambermaid. Various apparitions have
been spotted by both guests and staff

- Placentia Bay
A Greek ship, which is on fire, has been spotted in the bay, and people claim to have felt the heat from it and heard screaming voices of doomed sailors.
Ontario
- Niagara Falls - Houdini Magical Hall of Fame
?
It is unclear if this attraction is still open, as it was gutted by fire in 1996 ( Houdini had wanted all of his artifacts burned at the time of his death, but his greedy brother sold them, and years later a fan obliged the dead magician...Hmmm - Penn and Teller, perhaps?). However, several séances that were held here claimed to have contacted the legend, who swore he would communicate from the afterlife.
Nova
Scotia - Windsor - Haliburton House Museum 
Oddly enough, not associated with the American Bush/Cheney
administration, the Haliburton House is haunted by a Scottish soldier, wearing a
kilt, who drowned on the estate, and also by the rich judge who built the
mansion. He had a secret passage built in the home, and is seen emerging
from it (in the reception hall) and walking about.
Ontario
- Scugog Island 
( I've never been to Scugog Island, but for some reason an "island" just makes me think of 'tourist')
take Ontario Highway #7 east out of North Toronto, Ontario,
Canada about 60 km's to the town of Port Perry, Durham Region. Pass through town
on #7, across the Lake Scugog Causeway out to the island. In a farmer's
field at the bottom of a dirt road, which ends at a t-intersection, go north on
the dirt road about 1000 yards from the t-intersection, turn the car around so
that you face south. Then turn off your car and lights. (Apparently everybody
around there has heard about this if you need help finding it...)
In 1963, a teenage boy was riding through the field when a barbed wire fence
decapitated him. Locals say that you can see his headlight bouncing around the
field, then it fades - then you see a red "tail light". Local authorities can't
figure out a logical reason why these "spook lights" occur.
Alberta
- Canmore - Canmore ice arena
A phantom watches skaters late at night from a room adjacent to the rink - when anyone investigates, he vanishes.

Phantoms open and close blinds, and flip the lights on and off at night while it

ghost stories - the Grand's builder had built numerous theaters and died

tricks on actors.
Nova
Scotia - Halifax - The Five Fishermen
The second floor, especially, is haunted by a malevolent spirit
that has thrown things at and trapped employees.
Ontario
- Mississauga - Cherry Hill House Restaurant outside Toronto 
After the old building was picked up off it's foundations and moved across town in 1973, the ghosts started visiting. Locals worried that it had been sat upon an Indian graveyard, because, besides a lot of strange "poltergeist -like" activity, Native American like apparitions began sprouting from the fireplace. A little girl in white has also been seen running through the building. A security guard claims to have confronted a spirit armed with a sword. 680 Silver Creek Blvd tel:(905) 275-9300
Alberta

1800 College Avenue (306) 584-3888
Alberta
, Edmonton - Guilty Martini 
Customers say you can feel an icy hand touch you or flick your hair, and that
the bottles clank together for no good reason.

12536-137 Avenue & 10338-81 Avenue
Saskatchewan,
Kenosee Lake - a very angry group of drunk ghosts, indeed
The Bar Bar - Things have been tossed around the bar, and unexplained banging has been heard
Kenosee Inn - Late at night, a phantom knocks over stools
in the Inn's bar while workers try to clean up.
Moose Head Inn 
The
upstairs bar has phantom footsteps when it is empty that can be heard in the
restaurant below. After renovating, things began disappearing and a number
of unexplained noises and occurrences took place, including self - propelled mop
buckets flying across the room and women's bathroom stall doors that banged open
and shut by themselves. 306 577-2226
Ontario
- Spook Lights
one gentleman wrote to Obiwan's Paranormal Page:
"I live in Ontario Canada and they say that even in the spring they are seen on warmer nights. When there is a hot day and the evening seems to cool down quickly, you can be sure they will be there. Sometimes there two or three of them. I estimate that they are about 2'-3' in diameter They will rise above the trees about 30' . The colour is orange , amber or yellow . They have been seen about one hour before sunset and I have watched them till about 2:am There are two places that I have personally seen them but I guess there are more. I find it fascinating but I never had any luck in photographing them."
Ontario
- Hawksville - Side road 17
A farmhouse along this road burned down, killing the whole family except a six year old boy. He was taken in by the neighbors across the road, and later died in his late 40's. He had wanted to be buried with his biological family, and wasn't - he was buried with his adoptive family. He can be seen, a misty figure, crossing the road toward his family's plot.
Saskatchewan
- St. Louis
30km out of Prince Albert
Yet another small town where all the locals can tell you where to go - "down a
very narrow gravel road" is the recurring phantom light of the lamp of a
railroad employee who was struck by a train here when the road was a railroad
track.
Alberta
- Calgary - 22X highway
