Real Haunted Houses In Metro Vancouver
Haunted House At Cambie & King Edward
Known as being one of Vancouver’s most haunted houses (for real). There are some mixed reports about what exactly what went on here. Some say it was built on an ancient burial ground, while others mention a man murdered his elderly mother inside the home. But one thing is for sure—some strange activity has gone down here.
Anyone who has lived in the home since has reported some strange occurrences, including shadowed footsteps walking on the walls, baby cribs being pushed to the edge of the window and luggage being left in the yard.
Fairacres Mansion
The large 2.5-storey estate house is nestled in Burnaby’s Deer Lake Park. While it’s a popular historical place to visit, it’s also believed to be haunted.
It was built back in 1910 and was known as the ‘Ceperley Home.’ The mansion turned art gallery is said to be home to the ghost of Mrs. Ceperley herself.
Hycroft Manor
The stunning and historical Hycroft Manor can be found in the upscale Vancouver neighbourhood of Shaughnessy.
Throughout the years, there have been many instances of paranormal behaviour in the mansion. It is believed to house not one not two, but seven different ghosts. They are said to include a nurse and several veterans.
Irving House
The little house looks so charming on the outside but it has a creepy past. Now, a museum in New Westminster—it is believed to be home to the ghost of a 13-year-old girl.
Apparently the young girl committed suicide back in 2002, and her ghost has been seen by many. She is described as having a completely white face with black eyes, wearing jeans, a red hoodie and carrying a backpack.
Riverview Hospital
While it’s technically not a house, this place can’t be left out. The historic hospital in Coquitlam has an incredibly eerie past.
The hospital treated patients dating back to 1913 and it was only just shut down in 2010. It’s one of the most filmed locations in BC and it’s easy to see why. The abandoned building is a creepy place to visit (if you dare). Back in the day, it housed up to 919 patients, even though the space was only equipped for about 480. There’s been a number of ghost sightings here over the years by a former janitor and others who have roamed through the halls.
Gabriola House
Standing at 1523 Davie Street, the home is the site of numerous ghost sightings, every year. In fact, many people say that they’ve seen ghosts in the window. Further, many claim they’ve seen multiple ghosts in the residence.
The building has since been redeveloped into rental condos and townhouses put in its place. However, it’s intriguing history still makes the building a spooky spot.
