Haunted Hotels: Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Canada


Built in 1888 to encourage tourism and sell train tickets, this chateau-style hotel sits pretty by the Rocky Mountains in Banff National Park. But it gets a tad more Gothic once you get inside—and I'm not talking about the architecture.


The Calgary Herald has reported several resident ghosts, including a bride who supposedly fell down the stone staircase during her wedding. But there’s a less tragic spirit, too: Sam the bellman, who worked at the hotel until 1975 and claimed he’d come back to haunt the place. His spirit supposedly pulls shifts helping people with their bags before disappearing.
