10 Haunted Places in Alberta


Listen Later

Do you like stories of haunted things? Be it places, buildings, or people?

I think there must be a spectrum that starts at murder mysteries and ends at full on slasher/gore/horror. I prefer the tame end of the spectrum.

But, in honour of the Halloween season, I’ve sifted through some truly terrifying stories of haunted places in our province to find 10 that are historically intriguing and moderately spooky!

  1. Minnewanka Landing
  2. Nordegg mines
  3. Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
  4. Jasper Fairmont Hotel and Cabins
  5. The Rose and Crown Pub
  6. The Princess Theatre
  7. Wailing Wayne
  8. Atlas Coal Mines
  9. Lougheed House
  10. The Frank Slide
