Sure, we know what month it is! Keeping the Halloween vibes rolling for you all - halfway into November! ;) A classic haunting from a classic place... Victoria, B.C. The capital city of our home province, and a place saturated in paranormal events and hauntings. In particular, the Empress Hotel of Government Street.

This time on ITP we discuss a case of murder and a transplanted spirit, the unfortunate and untimely demises of certain residents and employees over the history of this storied place, and speculate on everything from the thinning of a veil in such places, the idea of layered dimensions in the "spirit world," & the notion of echo's versus entities in paranormal events...
