In the heart of Banff National Park, where the Canadian Rockies rise in jagged splendor, the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel stands as a monument to both grandeur and mystery. Known as the "Castle of the Rockies," this Scottish baronial masterpiece, with its limestone turrets and oak-paneled halls, has welcomed travelers since 1888. For Sam McCauley, a bellman whose warm smile and lilting Scottish accent have greeted guests for decades, the hotel is more than a workplace—it’s a home, a sanctuary, and a keeper of secrets. Yet, beneath its opulent surface lies a darker history, one woven with tales of tragedy that have left spectral imprints on its stones. From a bride’s fatal fall to a child’s lost laughter, the hotel’s hauntings are as iconic as its architecture, and Sam’s journey through these events binds him to the Castle’s eternal soul.
