Sask Hauntings

If you have ever traveled around the province on the grid roads you will see how many rural churches dot the landscape. Due to the changing rural communities most of these churches are no longer used. Most have been been left for special occasions or abandoned all together, These churches are usually 50+ years old so their history is rich. One would think they would have interesting stories right? Well this one does... The story goes.. A nun at the catholic rural church was seeing a man from a non-catholic family. She found out she was pregnant. They tried to hide it but when the priest found out about the pregnancy from the non-wed couple he was furious. This was a huge sin and against everything the church stood for. So the priest took matters into his own hands and killed the nun after the baby was born.He also killed the baby shortly after. Since then the church has been cursed. Fact or fiction? You decide.  There are no records of this that I was able to find. ...

Darke hall if located on the U of R Continueing Education Campus on College Avenue in Regina.  This area was founded in 1911 and was formerly known as the Regina College. This location is home to at least three deaths. Lets start with some history first. Darke hall is named after Frank Darke who was a Regina pioneer. He had various businesses and investments in the city which made him a very rich man. He donated money to the building of Darke hall and to the college. He passed away in 1940 and his funeral was held in the hall and later buried in the city's only mausoleum.  So what haunts Darke Hall? Well they say Darke himself is still around. It could also be that this building was much more than a school. It had various changes during its life but for the most part it stayed a school of some sort. During the second world war it was an Air Training Center during WW2. The stories say that during this time there were many parties in the building. It is believed that a ...

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. ...

The Estevan area is in the southeast corner of the province. It is known for its industrious coal mining and oil industry. Today there are two giant mines that mine use what is called strip mining. They have stripped most of the landscape to mine coal and created many new hills from the mining. Years ago it was a very different scene. Mining for coal was done in underground coal mines and they were all over the place. People could start up there own coal mines and there were different styles of them. They were everywhere, around Estevan, Beinfait, Taylorton, Roche Percee and surrounding areas. Eventually they were covered by the new strip mines, others collapsed and in the past few years they have filled in the rest because teenagers have gotten into the mines and died from the gases inside. There were very dangerous places and that is why you will not find them around anymore. Along with most history, especially in areas that date back before Saskatchewan was a province there are ...

1800 College Ave was originally owned by a judge and family, then home to various other groups, a coffee house and now a computer repair clinic. This beautiful unique home located in Regina is built mostly of stone and is considered a heritage location. As with most heritage locations there are speculations about the site behind haunted. Although the haunting's did not start coming to the surface until the building was turned into a coffee shop. Was this because spirits are believed to become more active when a building is being renovate? Was there to much change going on in the building that awoke some spirits? There have been many suspicions about why the location is haunted, such as the nanny committing suicide, a woman drowning in the cistern and even a death in a fire. All of these have been debunked by families who have lived in the home. So what are these spirits? People have said to hear footsteps on the stairs, others hear voices and some smell baking comin...
