Comments on: Blogathon Vancouver 2008: "H" is for Haunted Hotel Vancouver http://www.miss604.com/2008/07/blogathon-vancouver-2008-h-is-for-haunted-hotel-vancouver.html Vancouver Blog Miss604 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:17:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lukas http://www.miss604.com/2008/07/blogathon-vancouver-2008-h-is-for-haunted-hotel-vancouver.html#comment-8100 Lukas Tue, 19 May 2009 20:37:50 +0000 http://www.miss604.com/?p=2082#comment-8100 I have a similar story about the elevators at the fairmont. My girlfriend and i went out for dinner in Vancouver. And as we were driving home, we decided to go and visit the fairmont by night, since we heard stories about it being haunted. When you are not a guest at the hotel, you are not able to go higher then the 1st floor. You would need a card for that. Anyways, we decided to step into the elevator anyway. The doors closed. and after a while the elevator would go up to the 10th floor all by itself... as we stepped out of the elevator there was nobody in sight who could have called the lift up there. we stepped back inside, cause you can get stuck up there. Without a card you wont be able to call the elevator back. We pressed the button for the 1st or 2nd floor cant really remember. As we were back on the bottom we missed to step outside, so the door closed again. i tried to open the doors with the button. But it wouldnt open, instead the elevator would take us back onto the 10th floor. Was kinda weird... after all we ended up in the lobby again. So as Brian mentioned... ghost or elevator malfunction? you be the judge ;) I have a similar story about the elevators at the fairmont.

We had always wanted to stay there for its architecture, ambiance and elegance it has been known for since the 30's. Now, as for the haunting. My wife is easily spooked so when "I" the history buff questioned the staff about odd occurances at the hotel and its notable history....I was told of the "Lady in Red" First off, we did not see her but I will be clear when I say the hallways are eeriely occupied by some presence or another. We were on the 11th floor and after an evening stroll, we returned with our 3 months old son. Now lastly, I would never overstate something like this and now that we are at home 'safe' hahah, and out of there I started researching the 'hauntings'there. Ready, K. We entered the elevator alone bout 11pm...and the tenth floor was lit up. We then inserted out card and the 10th floor vanished, then my wife looked at me funny, I shrugged it off and pressed the 11th floor where our room was and the 11th and 10th lit up again. once we started moving the 10th floor vanished again and we did stop on the 10th floor.

I want to visit the 14th floor though. Be interesting to see or experience an area with a ghost! I can see the Green Roof from where I am here in the West End. I want to visit the 14th floor though.

Despite the construction of taller towers and heaven-reaching high-rises in the last couple of decades, seeing the green-topped roof on one of the classic "Canadian Pacific" hotels is one of the few images which, to my last breath, I will always associate with Vancouver. As for Jennie, hasn't anyone tried to figure out whether she just needs some closure? H.
