Bride

The Bride,” whose stories harken all the way back to the 1920s. According to the legends, a young couple once decided to get married at the Fairmont Banff Springs around the time of its initial opening. The bride looked beautiful as she descended down the hotel’s staircase that day, adorned in a gorgeous white wedding dress. Unfortunately, something unusual startled her greatly and she stumbled down toward the floor below. Some stories state that her heel caught the banister, while others insist that a candle nearby glanced off her clothing. Nevertheless, she perished during her fall. Countless people have since reported encountering a veiled figure gliding across the stairwell, her shadow billowing as if it were an ornate gown. Some have even seen an apparition in the ballroom upstairs who would dance throughout the space in a massive wedding dress. Many believe that it is the “Bride” who is still desperately waiting to dance with her beloved for the first time.
