Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Canada: Banff Springs, Kingston Penitentiary and Craigdarroch
Episode notes
About this episode
| Canada’s ghost stories stretch from grand railway hotels and government buildings to prisons, cemeteries, castles and private homes. This episode crosses several provinces to explore the histories and supernatural traditions attached to eleven Canadian sites.
The route begins at Fairmont Banff Springs in Alberta, Queen’s Park in Toronto and Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. It continues through Kingston Penitentiary and the former Carleton County Jail, known when the episode aired as the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel and now operated as Saintlo Ottawa Jail. The remaining stops are The Keg Mansion in Toronto, Grey’s Island Cemetery in Hillsborough, New Brunswick, Drummond Hill Cemetery in Niagara Falls, Craigdarroch Castle and Rogers’ Chocolates in Victoria, and Dalnavert Museum and Visitors’ Centre in Winnipeg. The episode distinguishes documented institutional and property history from local legend and reported encounters. |
