Haunted Canada: Ghost stories and the unexplained

The holiday season is upon us and one questions is always present..

Have you been naughty or nice? Depending on your answer you'll either be rewarded or you'll find a much more frightening fate will be upon you, and no, it's not a lump of coal.

For centuries, disobedient children in Austria and other Alpine countries have faced a truly terrifying Christmas consequence for their misbehavior — a dreaded visit from Krampus.

If you've misbehaved Krampus can be heard before he can be seen which makes him even more frightening.

The joyful sound of sleigh bells will be replaced by something far more sinister: the menacing clanking of rusty chains accompanied by the eerie tinkling of cowbells.

So be good for goodness sake because Krampus is coming to town.

William Lyon Mackenzie King was Canada's longest serving Prime Minister. He was leader of the Liberal party for 29 years and Prime Minister for a total of 22 years, and steered Canada through the Second World War, yet he had a well-kept secret.

Forever a bachelor Mackenzie was a spiritualist who kept in contact with his long departed mother. He often attended two seances a week when he was in Britain, and communicated with other dead relatives, with his predecessor, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, with the late President Franklin Roosevelt, and even with Pat, his departed Irish terrier.

Today, you can still encounter him and his mother should you visit Laurier House in Ottawa.

The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre, in southern Alberta's spectacular Crowsnest Pass, overlooks Canada's deadliest rockslide.

At 4:10 a.m. on April 29, 1903. Around 44 million cubic metres/110 million tonnes (120 million short tons) of limestone rock slid down Turtle Mountain.

Within 100 seconds the rock reached up the opposing hills, obliterating the eastern edge of Frank, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line and the coal mine. It was one of the largest landslides in Canadian history and remains the deadliest, as between 70 and 90 of the town's residents died, most of whom remain buried in the rubble.

Today, you can still hear their screams.

A bustling community once called the Fortress of Louisbourg in the 18th-century. Today you can visit and walk through history as authentically-clad “residents” share what it was like during the 18th century. You can cook over an open fire, sit down for a rum tasting, or even fire a cannon.

As you explore the remnants of a short but eventful period of history, in Canadian history know that you will also be surrounded by spirits from the past and not all residents are costumed, some have been trapped behind the fortress wall for centuries.

From 1835 and up until 2013, it housed some of the most dangerous criminals in Canadian history, but now it's deserted.

As you walk through the metal gates, nervous laughter ripples through you.

Footsteps echo through the hallway and rooms, which still have graffiti on the walls.

The vaulted heart of the prison has a brick-laid ceiling which is truly remarkable. A central dome connects four cell block buildings.

If the walls of the Kingston Penitentiary could talk; they would tell you of these notorious criminals and share with you the eerie history of murders, and violent riots.

They would also tell you of the many spectral being still trapped inside.

In 1946, Calgary was a small budding city which had an already established and renowned zoo located on St. George’s Island, along the bank of the Bow River. To get there you have to cross the Zoo Bridge.

Which is what six-year-old Donnie Goss and his brother did in August of that year. Then he vanished.

Haunted Gravelbourg School Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan

Nestled in the small and unique town of Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan surrounded by wheat fields and local farms is the historic and haunted Gravelbourg school, a towering building that is steeped in history and eerie folklore. Rising four stories high the structure looms over the vast Prairie landscape, it’s imposing presence hinting at a darker untold tale. The beautifully constructed building is an architectural marvel with captivating stain glass windows and design features, the historic school brings you back to a time when the laughter of students and the crisp footsteps of the nuns echo throughout the hallways. While the building did serve as a convent and a school for many decades it’s the lingering spirits of the nuns and students that now wander throughout the empty corridors.
