The Site
Styled after a Scottish baronial castle, The Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta, Canada, is one of Canada's great railway hotels and reportedly one of the most haunted buildings in the country.
In 132 years, the popular Alberta vacation spot has allegedly set the scene for horrific murders, suicides, and terrible accidents.
The Ghosts
There's a bride who fell down the staircase breaking her neck after panicking when her dress caught fire. She is often seen moving up and down the staircase as well as in ballroom dancing, with the flames coming from the back of her dress, pining for a dance she never got to have.
A family was murdered in room 873. Guests staying in this room have reported hearing screams and seeing bloody handprints on mirrors. The door to this room has since been bricked up, but the family can still be seen in the hallway outside the room. Other unnamed rooms are also said to be haunted and visitors have reported having their pillows yanked out from underneath them or being pushed off beds.
A former bellman, Sam Macauley who served at the hotel during the '60s and '70s still likes helping guests up to their rooms, dressed in his '60s uniform. He is also seen haunting his old office which is now a guest room. If you try to tip him or make conversation, he disappears.
Current Situation
Now part of the Fairmont chain of luxury hotels, the Banff Springs, also known as 'The Castle in the Rockies' still remains a landmark in the town of Banff, Alberta and remains a popular year-round resort.
