Creepy Canada (by Hailee )

Happy Wednesday guys! 

Hailee here, and for those who may not know, I'm Canadian. Another fun fact, I'm obsessed with all things supernatural. I love going on haunted walks, or visiting historical places that are supposedly haunted! When I was a kid, my mom would always buy me books that had ghost stories, or locations of haunted places that were all across the world. Today, I'm going to a few places that you can visit in my country that are supposedly haunted. Although I have not visited ALL these locations, I would love to one day.
Let me know if you've ever been to a haunted place, or if you're into this kind of stuff!
xx Enjoy
Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Ottawa.

Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, Chateau Laurier is one of the many haunted attractions found in the city. The construction of the building began in 1908 and ended in 1912. The hotel was commissioned by Charles Melville Hays and was set to open on April 26th, 1912. Unfortunately, a few days prior to opening tragedy struck. In the early hours of April 15th, 1912, Charles and most of his party were on board of the Titanic when it sunk. The hotel open was put on hold, when it was opened by Sir Wilfred Laurier on June 12th, 1912. In the present day, the hotel is still up and running and has gone under a few indoor renovations, but the paranormal experiences are still present.

Some of the hauntings seen:
Charles Melville: Although, his death was nowhere near the hotel. Guests have reported seeing his ghost walk around the halls of the Chateau Laurier. He is often seen with an angry expression on his face.
Yousuf Karsh: He and his wife lived in the hotel for nearly 18 years. Yousuf was a photographer and is responsible for most of the pictures that can be found hanging within the walls of the hotel. He died in 2002 and was buried back in Ottawa. He is seen within the hotel, presumably going back to the place he called home for more than 18 years. 


Fort George, Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Located in one of the most haunted towns in Niagara, it comes to no surprise that Fort George has a devastating past. Built between 1796 and 1892, as a response to the Jay’s Treaty which required Britain to withdraw from Fort Niagara. The Battle of Fort George started on the morning of May 25, 1813, and consisted of two days of devastating artillery bombardment from the Americans. A few says later, the Americans successfully managed to cross the river, and capture the Town of Niagara including Fort George. Fearing a British attack, the US Forces stationed at Fort George were ordered to retreat. But before they did, orders were given to burn the Town of Niagara to the ground. However, the British managed to reclaimed Fort George and Niagara for the remainder of the war.  

Some of the hauntings seen:
The woman in the mirror: One of the most common sightings is the woman in the mirror. She is described as a young woman with curly hair who dresses in 19th-century clothing. No one really knows why she haunts the officers' quarters, or even who she is.
Men in uniform:
It is to no surprise that you can find many apparitions of men in uniform. You can often see two men in red uniform watching over the officers' quarters, as well as other soldiers who are dressed in white around the fort.
Voices in the tunnel:
 When they take you on their guided tours, they bring you to the underground bunkers. It has been reported that you can hear male voices down there. Now, this is something that I have experienced personally when I have gone on tour, and it was so weird, but when it first happened, I didn't think much of it.

Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, Toronto Islands.

Gibraltar tower first opened in 1808; it would become the first lighthouse to be permanently built anywhere on the Great Lakes. At the top of the lighthouse, a bright lantern shone out as a beacon to the ships sailing through the dark waters at night. As Toronto’s first light keeper, Radelmüller’s job was to light the lamp every evening and extinguish it at dawn. Plus, he would be in charge of signaling the city every time a big ship pulled into the harbour. He lived a very quiet and peaceful life; he even started to make his own beer in a German style he learned to make back home. Around that time, the war of 1812 had begun. Just a few short years after Radelmüller had started his new job as our city’s first light keeper, Toronto was in the middle of a war zone. The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse was suddenly even more important. The Great Lakes were a key battleground. Control of Lake Ontario was most important of all. Keeping the British fleet safe from the shoals near the harbour was an essential job — one lost ship could turn the tide of the entire war. Tragically, he wouldn’t live to see the end of it. On Christmas Eve of 1814, a peace treaty was finally signed. But negotiations were held in Belgium, which meant that it would take weeks for the news to cross the ocean and finally reach Toronto

Some of the hauntings seen:
John Paul Radelmüller's Ghost: There are many variations on this story, but the most common one is as followed. On a cold January night, two soldiers came over for a visit. John had been providing them with his homemade beer, and everything seemed to be going well. At one point in the evening, he cut off the soldiers, and they got angry with him. Trying to flee, Rademüller climbed up the stairs and barricaded himself in the highest point of the tower. The soldiers followed him up and broke down the door. After a scuffle, John fell from the top of the lighthouse to his death. The soldiers in a panic decided they needed to do something with his body since the punishment for murder was death. They grabbed an axe and chopped his body into pieces and started to hide his body. To this day you can still hear him moaning somewhere in the distance. On others, you might hear him walking up the steps of the old lighthouse, even though there’s no one there — or see a ghostly light shining up top, even when the lantern isn’t lit. Sometimes, you might find his fresh blood spilled on those old wooden stairs. Or even catch a glimpse of him yourself: a specter stalking through the undergrowth, or wandering the paths around the lighthouse, bloodied and beaten, his arms missing.

Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta.

Known as one of the most haunted structure in Alberta, several people are drawn to the hotel on an annual basis. This hotel was constructed back in 1988, by a man by the name of William Van Horne. In 1926, there was a terrible fire that burnt down the wooden structure of the hotel. By 1930, the hotel was up and running again, and the paranormal experiences started off soon after that.

Some of the hauntings seen:
The secret room: When the hotel was constructed, there was a room with no windows or even room for a door. It was a room that was made to cover up a mistake, but after the fire, the room was discovered. Now, individuals have said that there are strange sounds and apparitions that are linked to where this old room was. 
Room 873: Years ago, a family was found dead in the room. After the investigation was over, the staff set out to clean the room. Only to find a set of fingerprints on the mirror from one of the children, that wouldn't go away. The owners have now blocked off this room, but many guests say they see apparitions roaming the hallway.
Young Bride:
This is probably one of the saddest things I've ever heard. On the day of her wedding, a young bride was walking down the stairs. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the bride tripped on her dress and died instantly. She can now be seen emerging down the stairs, in that same beautiful white dress she wore on her wedding day.
