Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

The Fairmont Hotel is an impressive building located in downtown Vancouver. Built in 1939, it would seem a bit, well, new to have a ghost, but it does.

A woman in a red dress wanders the corridors of the 14th floor. At times, the elevator will stop at that floor when nobody has pushed the button - on either side.

A more startling apparition is that of a former employee, a banquet porter who hanged himself in the stairwell of the 19th floor. When he appears, he isn't ... all there. Only the upper half of his body appears; not his legs. The meeting rooms are located on this floor, and on one occasion, an overnight chef went upstairs to get a few things from the kitchen.

The chef is no longer working at the Fairmont; the ghost of the porter appeared to him - looking straight at him - and then disappeared.
