Calgary Ghost Tours

My boyfriend and I bought tickets a month in advance for the Inglewood ghost tour to get in the Halloween spirit. Double checked the date and time on the tickets we were emailed and they said to be at the meeting spot for 6pm. We arrived on time and proceeded to wait outside with about 20 other people for over half an hour before the event coordinator even showed up. When she did, she did not apologize for making us wait in the cold and then said that our tour time would depended what we signed up for despite the fact all our emails said 6pm. My boyfriend had bought tickets for this event a few years ago and had a similar experience though he had assumed it was his mix up but realized tonight that was not the case. All in all, we ended up leaving because there was obviously a huge lack of coordination for a simple walk. Would have been fun but not worth the confusion

Went on my first Calgary Ghost Tour last night. We did the downtown tour. There was just 4 of us, a lovely couple, my 12 year old niece, and myself.
Our guide was great, and prior to the tour he asked if it was alright if he mentioned «ladies of the night» in front of my niece as that was one of the stories. He also asked all of us if we had any objections to going down an alley (to show us where Calgary’s very first +15 was built). I definitely appreciated his consideration!
He was very knowledgeable, the ghost stories were intriguing and he was full of all kinds of historical facts about the buildings downtown (beyond the ghost stories). There’s some fascinating history!
Naturally, for a Saturday night in downtown Calgary, we crossed paths with a few intoxicated groups making belligerent comments, asking him if he was a magician (your guide will be wearing a top hat and cape!) but he just ignored them.
Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, I highly recommend this tour. It was appropriate for all ages, reasonably priced, and I learned so much in 2 hours about the city I was born and raised in. I will definitely be going on the other tours they offer!

Always an item on my Calgary bucket list, I decided to bite the bullet and register for a Calgary Ghost Tour. We opted for the Haunted Pub Walk as I find spirits are most enjoyable in the company of spirits. Registering was easy and you can pay with paypal. You then need to check the calendar for any information regarding where and when to meet.
We met our guide at the base of the Calgary Tower at 8:00 P.M., where true to his word, he was wearing a top hat and a cape. He started our ghost story with a tale of a workplace injury resulting in death during the construction of the Calgary Tower and offered anecdotes from «witnesses» that had felt the presence of the ghost.
First off, I am on the fence about this ghost business. I want to believe, but I just can’t commit to the idea of haunting. This stated, I do believe in the history that comes with the stories and found our guide to be very knowledgeable in this area. I was really happy that the tour was mostly historical peppered with the rumours of the «hauntings»
The downtown haunted pub walk consists of 2 pubs where you stop in for a beverage and a few more tidbits of Calgary trivia. The general public would wander over at times during our tour to listen in and our guide was very respectful in letting them know that it was a private tour we had paid for, but they could stay for one story if they so wished.
I will be signing up for another ghost tour — hopefully the one in Inglewood. It made for an interesting educational evening and a unique date night. At $ 15 a person (not including your beverages), it’s not unreasonable.
The only suggestion I would make is to bring bug spray. The mosquitoes tried to eat us alive and leave us to haunt Stephen Avenue.
