Halloween Treats: 10 Most Scary Places In Canada
Halloween is the best time to explore urban legends in Canada. The country has several tales of spooky spirits with places that are incredibly scary. Here are some of them.
Keg Mansion (Toronto)
This mansion was a private residence of Hart Massey, an industrialist. Lillian, the only daughter of Massey, passed away in 1915. According to legends, a maid got so much overwhelmed by the shock of her death that she killed herself by hanging. Since then, many visitors have found the ghostly image of the hanging maid for decades.
Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel (Banff)
This is one of the most attractive hotels in Canada. It is told one of the haunted places in the country. Established by Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888, there have been innumerable incidents where people see the ghost of a family that was murdered in Room no. 873. Sam Macauley, an uniformed bellhop, Sam Macauley, is apparently a regular in the hotel. Macauley has already died.
Fairmont Chateau Laurier (Ottawa)
This was commissioned by Charles Melville, a business tycoon, who was tragically killed in the Titanic in 1912. It was only days before the grand inauguration of the hotel. Rumor claimed Melville's spirit regularly visits the property since then.
The Old Spaghetti Factory (Vancouver)
A train conductor reportedly haunts the eatery, which is built on top of an underground rail track. There is even a photograph in the 1950s, which hints his ghostly image. The table settings are often mysteriously rearranged in the restaurant.
West Point Lighthouse (O'Leary, P.E.I.)
The lighthouse is seen under the veil of pitch dark night and instigates the appalling possibilities. It has been rumored that the very first lighthouse keeper still haunts it. Willie was the first keeper of the West Point Lighthouse Inn, which is situated next door.
