Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

Salutations from the snowy stretches of Manitoba! Today, our ghostly journey takes us to the heart of Winnipeg, to the iconic Fort Garry Hotel. A bastion of Canadian history, this fort was built to offer luxury accommodations for travelers on the new railway, which was cut across the prairies. But when the sun sets and the tourists retreat, another side of Fort Garry emerges.

Room 202 is notorious among the paranormal enthusiasts. Guests have often reported waking up to ghostly figures at the foot of their beds. The most famous among these apparitions is the "Woman in White." Legend has it she's the spirit of a newlywed woman who took her own life in the room after learning of her new husband's sudden death from a horse-drawn cart accident. Her mournful presence, often accompanied by chilling cold spots and hushed whispers, continues to intrigue (and spook) visitors.

While the modern world bustles around it, Fort Garry stands as a testament to the past, a silent witness to both the joys and tragedies of yesteryears.
