BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL
Located in Alberta, this spectacular hotel nestled in the Rocky Mountains is supposedly the most haunted place in all of Canada. Building of this hotel was completed in 1888 and since then there have been a handful of eerie sights and sounds which suggest that the the hotel has some spooky permanent guests.
When the hotel was being built, an extra room that wasn’t in the blueprints was also made accidentally. This room has no windows and was locked away for years until it was finally found and converted into a work room. This room is now known as the Phantom Room and those inside have heard strange noises and seen unexplainable shadows.
The most famous ghost at Banff Springs Hotel is possibly the most helpful ghost ever. He is known as Sam the Bellhop and he goes around the hotel performing his usual bellhop duties which include opening doors for guests, making wake up calls and letting guests into locked rooms!
While there are spooky sightings throughout the hotel, room 873 was considered to be the one that was surely haunted because guests occupying the room would often feel like they weren’t alone. Children’s hand prints would also mysteriously appear on the walls over and over again, no matter how many times the staff scrubbed them clean. Thanks to renovations, room 873 no longer exists, but who is to say the ghosts don’t?
