Haunted Alberta

Barbara Smith is back with an all-new collection of spine-tingling tales in Haunted Alberta. Ghosts, spirits, specters, poltergeists, doppelgangers, phantoms, paranormal entities—call them what you will, this province is full of them: 

• Two children in Edmonton have a ghostly companion named Tracy

• One ghost haunts two houses in a quiet neighbourhood in Medicine Hat

• A descendent of Mother Barnes, the famous 19th-century psychic, is attuned to an otherworldly guest in his Calgary home

• Newspapers reported on a family in Daysland being terrorized by a poltergeist until the whole story was suddenly and mysteriously dropped

• A young woman's tragic, untimely death could not prevent her from keeping watch over her little sister

• A friendly ghost named Rex never checked out of the Auditorium Hotel in Nanton

• Historical tours of the Atlas Coal Mine in the Drumheller Valley often include a ghost or several

• Spirits at the Yates Theatre in Lethbridge put on ghostly performances after hours for some of the employees

• A spectral woman haunts the Dunvegan Bridge, oblivious to the fact that she died long ago

• And more.
