Here are just a few to send a shiver down your spine: ⠀ ⠀ 👻 Legend has it that Room 202 of Winnipeg’s Fort Garry Hotel (@fortgarryhotel) is haunted by the ghost of a woman who died there. Staff have reported seeing blood dripping down the walls, while guests have witnessed a hovering, cloaked woman at the foot of the bed.⠀ 🐉 Scotland’s Nessie isn’t the only water monster around - one is also believed to be lurking in the depths of Okanagan Lake, British Columbia. Described as a multi-humped serpentine beast with the head of a horse, snake or sheep, the creature is referred to as Ogopogo and has become a local legend. The origin of this legend comes from the idea that there is a “Spirit of the Lake” that acted as a protector according to the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation.⠀ 🦇 Calgary’s Hose & Hound pub is reportedly a hotspot for paranormal activity, with employees witnessing flying objects, slamming doors and other unexplained disturbances.⠀ 💀 Niagara Falls’ screaming tunnel is a 40-metre passageway, originally constructed in the early 1900s for railroad cars. The story says that if you go into the tunnel after midnight and strike a match, it will mysteriously extinguish...⠀ 🎃 Locals from our Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island describe sightings of a ghostly burning ship off shore, which appears when a storm is approaching. The story dates back at least 200 years and according to local folklore the spooky apparition sets ablaze as it travels along the Northumberland Strait. Some accounts even include sightings of phantom crew members climbing the masts before the ship either sinks or vanishes. ⠀ ⠀ Share your favourite Canadian Halloween stories in the comments below! #HappyHalloween #ExploreCanada #CanadaNice⠀ ⠀ 📷:⠀ 1. @didurdesigns⠀ 2. @ouirfrench⠀ 3. @ericagon⠀ 4. @evokingvisuals⠀ 5. @alexbrucephotography⠀ ⠀ 📍:⠀ ⠀ 1. @tourismwinnipeg, @travelmanitoba⠀ 2. @hellobc⠀ 3. @tourismcalgary, @travelalberta⠀ 4. @niagarafallstourismcanada, @ontariotravel⠀」10月31日 1時49分
