Banff Springs Hotel, Canada

 Banff Springs Hotel, Canada

This creepy hotel which I'm writing about today, is located in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This wonderful hotel, which is located in the middle of mountains, and has a beautiful scenery, also has a dark past. This hotel was burnt down in 1926 and it was rebuilt into a larger, and modern building in 1928.

Many visitors have claimed to see the apparition of Sam the Bellman. Sam supposedly died in 1976. He loved the hotel so much that he said that he would return there, even after his death, which some believe, is true. Those who've had encounters with him, have described him as an elderly man in an old fashioned uniform. He still helps getting locked out guests into their rooms, getting guests to certain floors, performing wake-up calls and helps guests with their luggage even after his death! Many people consider him to be a friendly ghost.


In this picture I found, Sam is seated in the center. 





Now we're coming to the spooky part, there's a missing room in the Banff Spring Hotel. 

It is believed that, in room number 873, a family was killed.  After a lengthy investigation the room was refurbished and booked out to travelers. The occupants of the room would be awakened by an unknown entity at midnight to hear hollow screams of people. They would also see bloody handprints on the mirrors, which would disappear whenever the staff came to investigate. This room was then sealed off. The door was removed and the opening covered with drywall, flush to math the rest of the hallway.


Above, is a video I found on YouTube, proving that room number 873 is sealed.

  Dow Hill - West Bengal                         I can assure you that Dow Hill in West Bengal, India isn't the best place for you to hike in. When we try to account the horror history of India, the terrifying tales of these hills will always be mentioned. If you're faint-hearted, you should certainly avoid the 'Death Road" between the Dow-hill road and Forest office. Because, on this road, many loggers have reported to see the apparition of a young, headless boy who walks around and then suddenly disappears into the forest. Many tourists on entering, feel like they're being watched and followed. Some also hear footsteps following close behind.  After dark, many people have seen a shiny, red eye peering at them from the woods. To add to this, some people see the apparition of a woman in grey, following them in the deep dense woods . For the last shock, there's a haunted Boys' school near the woods. The school isn't any less creepy than the forest. Local
