Haunted hotel in Victoria BC Canada?

I remember reading a book about haunted places and a few mentioned were in canada when I was younger (Please do not give any crap like "ghosts aren't real. it's all in your head." I've had enough experience, i don't need that.) and I remember reading one particular one about a hotel in victoria BC canada.

it said that there was a girl and on her wedding day was walking up the left side of the staircase, when she slipped on the train her her dress and cracked her head on the staircase and died, and even now when you stand on the staircase you can feel a draft even when the door is shut.

I remember asking my mom about it, and she had told me we stayed in the hotel. (I remember standing on the left side staircase, too, and there WAS a draft) but I can't remember what the hotel was called. I'm really bored right now, so I'm looking everything up that i want to know about.

can anybody help me with this? I've searched for about an hour now and I can't seem to find anything. it's a pretty old hotel, i remember, and I don't think it was the Empress...(though, I could be wrong, but I can't find any good pictures of the inside of it to remember. this was when I was in grade 2, so i don't remember what it was called, but I have a photographic memory so I can remember what it looked like quite well.)Haunted hotel in Victoria BC Canada?
Well, there are actually several hotels in the Victoria area that are said to be haunted (at least 4) but I think the one you are talking about may be the Bedford Regency. Don't quote me on this as it has been several years for me but I believe that this hotel is said to be haunted by at least two ghosts, one of a man (Brady, stabbed to death on the stairs going to what is now the basement) and the other by a woman ("Lady" Churchill who was Brady's girlfriend and the cause of his death) that is said to appear outside one of the rooms and cause, I have heard, a barrier of cold wind at times. The man has only been seen by the staff descending some stairs that lead to the outside from the basement, which used to be, at one time, a bar. If this is the hotel we were told the stories on a walking tour given by Ghostly Walks and I believe that a previous answer gave you the website address.

Another hotel said to be haunted is the Empress which, from your description, is not the hotel you are talking about. In here it is an elderly woman that is supposed to knock on doors late in the evening asking for help finding her room. When someone goes to help her look for the room they find it is not there and, upon turning to the woman, find she has vanished. The story I heard was that this woman lived her last years in a room at the Empress and passed away there. A number of years later the room itself was removed to install a new elevator to several other rooms that were being constructed on an upper level.

Of course a draft in an older hotel does not mean that there is a ghost however when we were on our tour we stopped in the lobby of one hotel (Bedford Regency??) and my girlfriend told me while standing in the lobby and listening to the talk, someone or something was flicking the ends of her shoelaces. I suggest that you take the tour through downtown (although be aware you spend a lot of time going down back alleys which can be smelly). We have taken it several times however only once did we actually enter the hotel itself, the other times the talks were given outside. Just one more thing, the two ghosts, Brady and Lady Churchill, are also said to haunt a restaurant nearby where, when they were alive, they often went.Haunted hotel in Victoria BC Canada?
