Ghost Stories of Alberta

Contrary to popular belief, ghosts do not necessarily reside in draughty old castles and ancient graveyards. In this book, the author has collected ghost stories specifically from Alberta where she has discovered strange tales of hauntings in schools, restaurants, theatres, hotels, government buildings and modern houses from Calgary and Edmonton to rural areas and the Rocky Mountains. Several spine-tingling tales are legendary accounts of native spirits who still inhabit the land.

In Edmonton, two former firehalls are widely reputed to be haunted
the McKay Avenue School is said to have at least half a dozen spirits
and employees of radio station CKUA have experienced a ghostly presence. "Alberta's Most Haunted Place" is probably the Deane House and Tea Room at Fort Calgary, where a number of different ghosts are taken for granted by the staff.

This eerie collection of supernatural tales includes, among others, the story of the Medicine Hat ghost train
the strange phenomena in a rural "castle" that cannot drive its owner away
the hauntings of the Banff Springs Hotel
the ghostly arsonist in a photograph at Chateau Lake Louise
evil ghosts of the Alberta Badlands
the beautiful lady in white who haunts Prince House in Heritage Park
the Canmore Opera House spirits
and the ghostly bookworm.
