Our ghost story goddess is back! Barbara Smith, author of many best-selling ghost story books, has collected more unusual, unnerving and uncanny stories from far and wide in Alberta:
• Many people so enjoy lingering in a library that they seem to stay there forever, even after death, as is the case in several Alberta libraries. Some ghosts make sure
that certain light bulbs burn out abnormally quickly but only those bulbs that are over the shelves of ghost story books, just like the one you’re holding in your hand.
• All the residents of a guest ranch near Warburg are hospitable, warm and welcoming even those who only exist in spirit form.
• The only woman ever hanged in Alberta has made a lasting impression on the
province’s psychic landscape. Her image can still be seen even though her body
has been buried for more than 80 years.
• In a charming old Medicine Hat neighbourhood, a phantom is heard making his
way up the stairs in two houses, located a block apart.
• The old arena in Camrose has been demolished; leading many to wonder where
the ghosts that haunted the place might be right now.
• Calgary’s historic Cross House has new owners, a new paint job and a new name.
Fortunately, the exquisite food and great atmosphere have remained, as have the
ghosts.
• There’s nothing unusual about swivel chairs swiveling except if they swivel when
no one’s near them. But that only happens in Grande Prairie’s York Hotel, home
to some of the most active ghosts in the province.
• At a certain fast food outlet in Edmonton you might get your burger with a side
order of a super-sized ghostly encounter, whether you ordered it that way or not.
And more!
