Tales of true hauntings from Vancouver, British Columbia, including the ghosts of Gastown and such well-known places as the Hotel Vancouver, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Vogue Theatre.
Maybe it's the rainy weather. Perhaps it's because its history is rich in colourful characters who ran ramshackle saloons and busy brothels. Or maybe it's because the locals just don't want to leave this beautiful city. Whatever the reason, Vancouver has its fair share of ghostly inhabitants.
