Ghost report by Michael on March 25, 2015:

“While working for the BC Mining Museum in 2006, I encountered a number of ghosts while working there.

The first happened in mid-May of 2006. It was closing time at the museum and one of the big draws was an underground train ride through our old mining tunnel that went under the old mill on the site. It was my turn to close up the tunnel which involved locking a large door at one end of the tunnel and walking through the tunnel to make sure no visitors were still in there and locking a second door on the other side.

I began my lock-up like normal, and locked up the first door. Upon walking about 100 meters down the tunnel to the first of three forks in the tunnel (the other two containing exhibits), I noticed a thick mist appearing all around me. I then noticed voices, many of them, some just whispers, other crying out “Help me”. It’s safe to say I ran as fast as I could to the other end. As soon as I passed by the second fork the mist and voices suddenly disappeared.

Doing some research on the subject, I learned that during that tunnel’s construction around 1917 a dozen workers were killed in an accidental cave-in at that first fork in the tunnel.

The second ghost I came across was a silhouette of a man that always appeared at the top of the huge staircase that lead up to the top of the old mill. I would only ever see him from far away, but he always appeared there and never moved. Occasionally he would startle other tour guides by standing at the bottom of the stairs looking forlornly up the staircase.”

UPDATE:

On Oct 17, 2015, we received the two photos above from Bonnie. These photos are copyrighted.

Photo 435 has orbs, which we believe are just dust. We uploaded the photo so that you can decide for yourself.

Photo 436 is interesting. It has an orb of light located by the left elbow of the male. There also appears to be lights on his shoe, however, these could just be reflectors on his shoe. What is ideal about photo 436 is that there are also two lights above him that are just normal lights (not paranormal) which is handy because we can compare the non-paranormal lights to the unknown light on his left elbow. NOTE: Bonnie has just informed us (Oct 19, 2015) that the male in the photo is her husband. She checked his shoes and there is a reflector on the side of his shoe, however, there are no reflectors on the heel or bottom of his shoe.

Keep in mind that when we use the word “orb” we are not saying that it is ghostly in origin. Orb is just simply a sphere.

Bonnie sent us the original photos, so we were able to verify ourselves that there has been no photoshopping done to either of these pics, by checking the EXIF tags. We were also able to determine that both of the pics were taken with a Canon Power Shot SD 130Q IS. The shutter speed was 1/60 seconds. ISO was 500. Aperture was F 2.80 The flash was fired in both pics.

Thank you Bonnie for sending these into us.

True Ghost Story: Ghosts Having A Party Upstairs

Location: Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

The following report was sent into our website by Samantha on Nov 10, 2013:

“Well where shall I begin, this took place in 1984. I was 12 years old at the time and my family had just moved there. The house was very large and old, but in good shape. I was so excited to finally have my own room, even if my two older sisters had to walk through my room to go up the stairs to their rooms. Little things began to happen right away like lights flickering on and off, things like the tv turning on by its self, things going missing, doors slamming.. So naturally there was a simple explanation for all these things. Until one day my sisters and I had just got home from school. We walked in the door and it sounded like there was a party going on up stairs in my sisters bedroom. Her stereo was on full blast and we could hear voices and people walking around. My sister was so mad because she thought my parents were having a party up there, so we went racing up the stairs and nobody was there. So she shut off the stereo and we ran down stairs and shook our heads and said no that didn’t really happen.

As time went by things just keep getting worse. Like when we went to bed you would feel like someone was sitting on your bed and you would here breathing beside you. Then we would hear crashes when we were in bed. Only to find that the furniture, like the dining room chairs, were thrown across the room.

One day my mom asked me to put my sisters’ folded laundry up on their beds. So naturally I was a little nervous after the party episode. So I opened up the door at the bottom of the stairs, and walked up the stairs into my sister’s room. Her room was very large, it was half the length of the house and there was a door between the two rooms. It was open so I went in and put my sister’s clothes on her bed. I remember it felt really cold in there, so I went over to the window to close it , but it was closed already. So I took a minute to look out at the view of the ocean, then the door slammed shut behind me. I just figured that it was just a draft, so I opened it and went out and put something on my other sister’s bed and the door slammed shut. And then it opened and closed and opened and closed, so I freaked out and ran down the stairs.

Not long after that my 14 year old sister took a nanny job for the summer. So it was just my 16 year old sister sleeping up stairs. We turned in for the night and she had just finished reading and the cat was laying with her on the bed. She turned to turn out the light and all of a sudden the cat started growling and there was a big crash. So we ran upstairs and her big mirror off of her dresser was laying on the floor in the middle of the room facing up. So that night my sister and I slept together on the couch.

After that things settled down for a bit then it got worse. My mom had asked me if I could put the laundry in the dryer. Our laundry room was just off the kitchen and it had a big window. It was also the main entrance into the house and it felt really cold in there. I noticed that the curtains were blowing so I looked to make sure that the window wasn’t open and it was closed. So I turned and continued putting the clothes into the dryer, and then I felt someone walk up behind me and lean over my shoulder and whisper into my ear “what are you doing”! So I figured it was my sister trying to scare me so I turned around and said “I’m putting the clothes in the dryer”! And then I realized that nobody was there. I will never forget that creepy voice. I then ran into the living room and told my mom, and she told me to just settle down. I don’t think she really believed me, even after all the things that had happened there.

So maybe a month went by and my mom’s bedroom was beside the bathroom just off the living room/dinning room. My mom was lying on her bed and my sister was in the washroom. My cat was acting strange and he was under the cabinet in the dining room. I was trying to pull him out and all of a sudden that voice said it really loud this time “what are you doing!”. I said “getting the cat”, and my mom said “I’m lying down”, and my sister said “I’m going to the washroom”. Then we realized and my sister and I ran into my mom’s room and I said “see now do you believe me!” And then we moved shortly after that. There were a lot more things that happened there, but it took long enough just to write this down. Thanks for listening.”
