10 Allegedly Haunted Places in Calgary Alberta – By Steve Ramsey

Here are the creepiest places in Calgary. You may not believe these haunted places in Calgary are legit, but some people seen paranormal activities. I myself did not no recorded EVP in some of the places , or may be I should go in certain time at night or may be I should ask for permission to go inside these places .

 

1. The Deane House

 

At least three ghost stories are told about Deane House , perhaps the most haunted building in town. People have told of seeing a mysterious man with a pipe, an aboriginal man telling trespassers to leave his sacred ground, while others have heard laughter in the halls. Built for the Superintendent of Fort Calgary, the home has seen stabbings, suicides, and peculiar deadly accidents over the years.

 

2. Devil’s Playground

 

Listed as one of the most haunted places in Canada, the story of  Devil’s Playground

 starts when an old schoolhouse burned down. A fire started in a hallway and claimed the lives of three children. Over the years people would report the sound of children playing around the charred foundation. Other stories tell of wrecking crews having malfunctions when they came to develop the area. The story is so intriguing that in the springa film crew was asking for crowd funding to do a short film on the story.

 

3. Knox United Church

 

 

This church in downtown Calgary is haunted, but in a good way. Ghosts have been seen praying, knitting, and one woman in early 20th century clothing was spotted walking through doors. The most shocking ghost story from Knox United Church however, is that of the organist who reported having a hand slapped by a spirit for playing incorrectly.

 

4. House and Hound

 

From Fire Hall to community centre to fine dining restaurant, the House and Hound has seen many different uses over the years. One constant however are the ghosts that have been around since the very beginning when the legendary Cappy Smart was Fire Chief here.

 

 

5. The Prince House

 

Now located at Heritage Park, the Prince House is certainly the most haunted looking of the buildings on our list. Peter Prince’s home used to be located in Eau Claire (Prince’s Island) and while he was a flourishing businessmen, his wives had a notorious habit of dying. He lost three wives in a decade, one of them being Emma Prince who died of tuberculosis and was confined to the attic. I will visit this place in the summer and I will stay for one night in this hotel with my equipment’s to find out for my self.I will update you.  Some ghost hunters said that they recorded voices but no one share any info !

 

  6- Zoo Bridge

 

 

The St George’s Bridge links Inglewood to St Patrick’s Island and the Calgary Zoo today. There used to be a playground near where the Calgary Zoo’s security building now sits. In 1946, Donnie Goss was playing in the park when a man lured him away with an offer of toys. The six-year-old was murdered under the bridge and Emergency Services in Calgary are reportedly still called to the site two or three times a year with reports from people saying they’ve heard a child crying for help. I went many time and I didn’t feel any thing, my EVP recorded nothing unusual , same with the infrared cam or the EMF in the midnight of many different week ends.

 7- Rose & Crown Pub

 

 

A good haunted house story starts with a creepy history. How about a pub that used to be a funeral home? That’s the Rose and Crown.Toss in a very small attic where staff have had lights flicker and windows open and stories of a small boy hiding in the basement, and you’ll get the creeps with your burger and fries. to me it is just a stories and good advertisement , nothing unusual just her say and no prove. I dont strut in 90% of the haunted restaurants as most of them are fake and after creating name and getting customers curiosity hyped up . 

 

8- Rouge Restaurant

 

Formerly known as Cross House, Rouge has many peculiar happenings that has turned chef and owner Paul Rogalski into a ghost believer. Pots and pans have been known to fly around, doors will open and close, and so has a vault. Mediums claim the home is haunted by the ghosts of Helen Cross and her three-year-old daughter Nellie. Some have also spotted a young girl and her father sitting by a fireplace.

 

9- Doll Block Building

 

If you walk down Stephen Avenue after dark, stop outside The Doll Block Building at the east of the street. Look up to the big bay window on the 3rd floor and see if you can see Mr Doll’s wife, or maybe it’s his 10-year-old daughter, Florence. A female ghost is said to sit in the window and wander the building.

10-Suitor House

 

Now the office of a doctor in town. Suitor Housewas once home to a railroad worker who was killed. Heartbroken, his wife died soon after. Lights have been known to flicker in the building and people have reported seeing a woman in a long white dress with flowing black hair standing on the balcony.I didn’t see such a thing.
