The Fort Garry Hotel is a jewel of Winnipeg’s history, a grand chateau-style building that has stood proudly since 1913. Its marble staircases, glittering chandeliers, and timeless architecture have welcomed royalty, Hollywood icons, and travellers from around the globe. Yet, behind all this elegance lies a legend that refuses to fade — the haunting of Room 202.
According to local lore, a woman known as Kate tragically took her life in this very room after learning of her husband’s death. Guests who stay there today report unnerving encounters: closet doors creaking open on their own, flickering lights, or even the icy sensation of someone slipping into bed beside them. Staff whisper of mysterious stains on the sheets, sudden cold spots, and sobbing sounds that echo down the second-floor hallway.
The ghostly reputation of the Fort Garry stretches beyond Room 202. Visitors have spotted a woman in a flowing white gown gliding across the ballroom late at night, while early morning staff have heard the unmistakable clinking of dishes in the empty dining room. Paranormal tours and ghost hunters flock here, eager to capture proof of what so many already believe — that the Fort Garry Hotel is one of Canada’s most haunted places.
