Haunted Places Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel Canada Pin

The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, a chateau-style gem constructed in 1888 to promote tourism and sell train tickets, graces the picturesque landscape of Canada's Banff National Park, nestled by the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains. However, the ambiance takes on a more Gothic twist once you step inside, and we're not just referring to its architectural splendor. The Calgary Herald has chronicled reports of several resident ghosts, including a tragic bride who purportedly met her end tumbling down the stone staircase during her wedding. But there's also a less sorrowful spirit in residence: Sam the bellman, who diligently served the hotel until 1975, declared his intention to return in spectral form and fulfill his duties.
