General Hospital (Regina)

There are many rumours about hauntings that don't make sense. Like people thinking morgues are haunted. Why would they be haunted? No one died in a morgue so why would their spirit follow there body and then stay in a morgue? Doesn't make sense. However, a hospital being haunted - where people come to seek help and some never leave. That makes sense to me.

The Regina General hospital is no exception to the hospitals being haunted in this province. Built in 1900 it was not until 1907 that this hospital was known as the General Hospital. The south wing was added in 1912, a nursing home added in 1915 and the north wing was added in 1926 to accommodate more people. After the province bought the hospital in 1974 the hospital underwent a major additions and renovations due to the need for increased capacity this hospital became what it is today. You can still see the original parts of the hospital surrounded by its many additions.

The hospital has many stories attached to it and I am sure there are many more that people do not express. The stories that have been told are of a nurse running past people very fast that she looks like a blur, other people have seen an older nurse around the washrooms and some have just seen spirits of people in the hospital.

There have also been sitings of patients walking the halls and stairs. These spirits are most commonly seen on the fifth floor of the hospital. All the stories state that people see the spirits and they disappear just as quickly as they appeared.

McKim Road

McKim road is a lesser known haunting although not surprising. Saskatchewan is a large province and with so much space and rural areas, ghost towns and small settlements why do we not hear more about these hauntings? McKim road is a grid road halfway between Yorkton and Melville. I believe it may have once been a small town site or settlement according to the maps. Today not much remains.. or does it? As the story goes there was a man riding his motorcycle down the road and at an intersection he was hit by a grain truck and the man passed away. It has been said that if you park your car at the intersection at night you will see the light from a motorcycle travelling your way. Depending on the story it will turn off or keep going straight. If you follow it, the light will vanish. Some say if you do not follow it and keep the lights off your vehicle will shake, the light will vanish and your car will become dusty from the gravel and you will be able to see hand prints on the dash. ...

Plains Hospital (SIAST Regina)

Plains Health Centre, April 1993. Pat Pettit (Regina Leader-Post) The Plains Hospital, also known as SIAST Wascana Campus in Regina. This beautiful 11 storey brick building was built in 1970-74 for 9 million dollars. It served as both as a hospital and was used as a university training hospital. It has large private patient rooms and was known for its architecture. It handled all the major branches of surgery and medicine but was recognized for its training centre. In 1987 is started to slow its training program and its support for sugery's. In 1992 it was slated to close and in 1998 it was decommissioned at the cost of 21 million and converted into SIAST (Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology) which it is still today. This hospital may not have been open long but it had many patients, many of which passed away in this building. Today it is a bustling school - a school that I attended for 2 years. During the day with so many students around the schoo...

Roche Percee Rugaroos

Roche Percee is a small village in southeast Saskatchewan. This village is rich in history ranging from ancient fossils, RCMP camps, underground mines and old towns. Today Roche Percee still remains but after a massive flood in 2011 most of the town is gone, only flooded out houses remain and a few residents on higher ground. Driving around the area of Roche Percee the history from the past is still very evident especially the massive rocks that can be seen on the edge of town. These rocks are from many many years ago when the valley was filled with water. The rocks were formed from the water rushing through them which is why some areas are like caves. Today these sandstone rocks are home to years of signatures being engraved into them. But these rocks are not only home to years of history and signatures, they are home to something else. People believe that these rocks are home to "rugeroos." Rugeroos are believed to be ancient Indian spirits that change into animals,...
