The day has arrived!

Boys and ghouls are roaming the streets of Victoria today,  so be on extra alert and have a spooky day!

Below are 5 things to do in and around Victoria today:

 

Visit 31 eerily haunted places in and around Victoria

For those who didn’t know, Victoria is considered one of most haunted cities in British Columbia. Almost every building in the downtown core has a ghost story.

Some say it’s a result of our Wild West beginnings during the Gold Rush, when the streets were full of fortune hunters, pleasure houses, saloons, public hangings, and opium dens – back when vice was around every corner.

So, in anticipation of Halloween, we’ve compiled some of the most famous active locations of paranormal activity in the city.

Costumes aren’t just for people!
