I worked at the Fairmont Banff Springs resort during the year of 2003. During our orientation week, we are given a tour of the hotel. Our guide brought us down that flight of stairs and it since leads to nowhere. But he did mention the bride and her fall, as well as her apparition. But we aren’t supposed to talk about that!
Personally I’ve never seen it. Not only is that staircase haunted but many other areas in the hotel are haunted as well. There have been books publishing the hauntings at this castle.

hi, wow i never thought how scary some of these stories could be. i would really like visit one of these places. Since i do live in canada, Banff would be a great place to go. I hope to be able to come back on this site and write of my experience or experiences

I worked there many moons ago-never saw the bride, but I did hear a little girl @ the base of those stairs giggling away from time to time when cleaning the rob roy.
Another time I was coming down the stairs behind the robroy by the exec offices and saw a lady standing looking at me wearing an old fashioned ball gown. I know of things that happened when I was there that were kept quiet. I know of 2 instances where they had to go into the ladies washroom in mt stephens and get 2 women out because they were so terrified about what they saw in the mirror. they wouldn’t tell anyone what they saw.
They aren’t unpleasant sorts, they just enjoy being there.

I also worked at the Banff Springs Hotel in 1996-1997. I have not seen the bride but have seen the fire scorch marks on the marble staircase from the fire that killed her. I have had experiences with ‘Sam’ though. He was always helpful when I needed assistance and I spoke to him often. Lots of times, when my hands were full, and I needed to get on the staff elevators, I would simply ask ‘Sam’ to please order an elevator for me and sure enough, one of the three elevator doors would open for me without anyone being inside or my pushing any buttons. He would sometimes play tricks on me by taking me to the 9th floor (where he used to hide his tips) rather than taking me to the floor I wanted. I would tell him to cut it out and he would take the elevator to the right floor. He’s quite the character!

I’ve heard a version of this story, but it was in Charleston South Carolina.

WELL I THINK THAT IS PRETTY SCARY JUST THE WAY SHE DIE NOT THE HAUNTING CUZ IT’S NOT SCARY BUT IT’S PRETTY SAD HOW SHE WAS READY 4 HER U KNOW BUT I WELL GIVE THAT ON A SCALE TO 1-10 A 7

There’s no ghosts here! But i’ll keep looking!

I lived at the Banff Springs until 1991, never believed in ghosts but I still refused to wander upstairs after dusk. One night I was sent to a room to check on a tourist who was complaining of a ghost behind the fireplace (warming room). I went in the room and it was ice cold even though the fire was lit. When I came out there was an older man sitting on the sofa looking at me. He didn’t say anything, he just got up and walked through the fireplace and vanished…. Another night we were all in the main ballroom for a fete when someone came screaming from the bathroom just past the medieval room. There was a lady in the bathroom sitting at a vanity. She was frozen with fear looking at the mirror. We had to pry her away and out of the bathroom…. strange hotel.

i work at the banff springs hotel, still have yet to see a ghost.. dont really know if any of this is true. We want PROOF

HI! WE WENT TO THE BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL AND DIDN’T ENCOUNTER ANY GHOSTS. BUT WE DID FEEL TINY COOL BREEZES IN PLACES THAT ARE BELIEVED TO BE HAUNTED. STILL I DON’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
-RILESSE-

I Stayed at the hotel a few weeeks ago it is the most amaizing place i have ever stayed at. Didn’t have any encounters with ghosts. The main light in my room(561)didn’t seem to work well it did and than it didn’t. I would go and turn it on than it would go out. I flicked the swicth and it came on than it would go out. Maybe it was one of those cencer lights? I don’t no didm’t think anything of it until my friend said that the hotel was haunted.

We are currently staying on the 7th floor. My Wife and I went to the 8th floor and sure enough there is no room 873. Legend has it that a family was murdered many moons ago in this room and whenever housekeeping would clean the mirrors, fingerprints of a small child would reappear no matter how many times they cleaned it.

The hotel has since blocked this room off and staff apparently are sworn not too speak of it. Rooms go from 871, 872(No 873) then 874 and 875. If you look closely you can see a faint outline of where the door for 873 used to be. We have been feeling cool breezes but they stopped after I closed the window in our room.

There was once a lady whose name was Mary Spence. One day she met a nice man and a year later they decided to get married. As she was going to the dance she tripped over her dress and fell in the cake. Her face was covered in icing. Everybody laughed and she was so embarrased so she ran out to the girls washroom and started to cry. Then the lights turned off and she was scared but she was locked in her stall and couldn’t get out. Then the tapps turned on and the washroom started to flood. She drowned and was never seen again. Then one day as a little girl walked in the washroom and then the lights turned off and a glowing women was there she was bloody and had mud and mold all over her. The little girl screamed and ran put and she told her parents. Then her parents told other people and now she is known as bloody mary. So if anybody goes in the bathroom alone and shuts the lights off then she will apear and you will never be seen again.

i went to the banff springs hotel i was eating some cheese when all of a sudden i felt something nibble on my foot and i started to cry and i was affraid as i was still eating the cheese and i looked and it was my cat. Then 2 of the employes came up to my room and said “maybe if u give the cat some cheese it will stop nibbling ur foot” And then I called my cat and i found him dead in the bathtub and he has been dead for qute a while i buried him with a piece of cheese. If my cat was dead then what cat wa snippbling my foot???
