Episode notes

About this episode

Victoria, British Columbia, combines coastal beauty with layers of colonial, civic and cultural history. This episode moves through public squares, parks, cemeteries, government buildings and theaters to examine the ghost stories attached to some of the city’s best-known places.

The route begins at Bastion Square and Beacon Hill Park, then explores Market Square and Chinatown before visiting Ross Bay Cemetery. It continues to the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, Thunderbird Park, St. Ann’s Academy and Pioneer Square.

The final stop is Langham Court Theatre, whose building has served Victoria’s theatrical community for decades. Across the city, documented histories provide the setting for reports and legends that developed later; the episode preserves both layers while treating supernatural claims as stories rather than settled fact.
