Baniff Springs Hotel in Calgary, Alberta- The main staircase at Baniff Springs Hotel was lined with candles for a wedding being held at the hotel. When the bride came down the staircase, the train of her dress caught on a candle and went into flames. In a state of panic, she fell down the stairs breaking her neck and died. It is said the ghost of this bride is still seen coming down the staircase of Baniff Springs Hotel. Although , today the stairs have been blocked and no other wedding has ever been allowed to be held at the hotel.

In 2011, the Baniff Springs Hotel is a popular ski resort nestled in the Rocky Mountains. My story is fictitious, but the story of the bride who fell to her death and remains to haunt Baniff Springs Hotel- is said to be true.
