Publisher's Synopsis
Tales of true hauntings from Vancouver, British Columbia, including the ghosts of Gastown and such well-known places as the Old Spaghetti Factory, Hotel Vancouver, and the Vogue Theatre.
Maybe it's the rainy weather. Perhaps it's because its history is rich in colourful characters who ran ramshackle saloons and busy brothels. Or maybe it's because the locals just don't want to leave this beautiful city. Whatever the reason, Vancouver has its fair share of ghostly inhabitants.
In the latest edition of this collection of spine-chilling stories, 39 haunted locations are featured. In these pages, you'll encounter:
- The lady in white who terrifies security guards in an old office building
- The spirit of a trolley-car conductor who startles restaurant patrons
- The ghostly chef who hangs out near the bar in one of the city's oldest pubs
- The phantom of a rail worker who eternally searches for his lost head
- A spectral soldier who plays bagpipes in an old armoury
- The lady in red who glides through elevator doors and greets hotel guests
- The restless spirits of a former native burial ground
- Theatre ghosts who appear on stage and in the audience
- Phantom firefighters who haunt a modern firehall
- The ghost of a hotel caretaker who plays pranks on the unsuspecting
- And more!
The original and best book about the haunted places of Vancouver, B.C. Photographs, maps, and suggestions are included to help you do your own walking tour of many of the haunted locations in downtown Vancouver.
