9.Ghosts Haunt Many Popular Tourist Sites

Banff Springs Hotel
One of the tourist hotspots in Canada is the Banff Springs Hotel. It’s really too bad that it’s haunted. Not only is it haunted by a female ghost in full wedding garb who walks the halls at night slamming doors and making noise, it’s also mysteriously missing room #873, that apparently used to exist until a family was killed in it. After the tragedy it was completely re-done, but numerous reports of paranormal disturbances caused the hotel to decide to get rid of it forever.

The Mill Restaurant in Ottawa
The story goes that the mill owner Joseph Currier’s wife Ann was doing a tour and her dress got caught in a turbine. She was instantly killed, and ever since, there have been sightings of her ghost wandering the mill. Some patrons even claim to hear her wailing.

The Hockey Hall of Fame
Another major tourist hot spot in Canada, the Hockey Hall of Fame is home to a very active ghost. Before it was the Hall of Fame, it was the Bank of Montreal. Apparently, a lonely bank teller was pursuing one of the managers, and after being rejected, took her own life. Visitors swear they still hear her crying through the halls amongst the hockey memorabilia.
