- Saskatchewan’s St. Louis Ghost Train: Believers say a ghostly glowing light is a CNR conductor who lost his head to a passing train in the 1920s.
- Ontario’s Fort George: Phantom footsteps and ghosts make this one of the most haunted places in Canada.
- Quebec’s Château Frontenac: The hotel’s namesake is said to wander hotel halls in his 17th century garb.
