They call it the castle in the Rockies, a grand imposing structure nestled deep in the heart of Banff National Park.

The Banff Springs Hotel is known for its breathtaking views, luxurious accommodations, and a history rich with legends. But beyond the

glamour and five-star service lies something far more chilling. And for decades, whispers of
