Halloween has come as gone, but the interest surrounding one of Canada's most haunted places remains.
In October, Tranquille Sanatorium in Kamloops topped a list of the country's most haunted places curated by Reader's Digest.
"Originally built in 1907 as a treatment centre for tuberculosis sufferers, it later served as a mental institution before ultimately being abandoned in the early ’80s," warned Reader's Digest in its write up.
"Echoes of its former residents seem to remain, however, as witnesses report off-the-charts paranormal activity, ranging from orbs to eerie disembodied moans."
However, the spooky nature of the property didn't scare off local drone pilot Bob McCuaig, who brought his gear out to capture the buildings in their autumn glory.
Despite it now being open for business as an elaborate escape room, the decommissioned Sanatorium has developed a reputation for its hauntings over the years.
Now known as Tranquille Farm Fresh, it offers terrifying escape rooms along with heritage tours.
However, the business remains shuttered due to COVID-19.
