Spend the night with a ghost or two on Quadra
Island. If you’re waiting for your one true love – you’re not alone. The
clichéd story of a widow waiting for her husband to return is one of the many
stories that attaches itself to the Heriot Bay Inn. There’s also a white-haired
woman and a man in suspenders that are known to wander the halls… and make
their homes in some of the rooms. Number 9 and 14 are known to both staff and
guests as some of the most active places at the inn. The woman is often seen in
room 14, in the pub, or in the restaurant. Some of the noted activity has been
the classic “feeling a presence” or “feeling as if you’re being watched” as
well as windows opening and closing or furniture moving on its own.
The hotel staff had
the definition of a fright night one winter evening. After hearing noises coming from
upstairs, those on shift went to investigate; only to discover all the doors to the
rooms open. There was no one staying at the inn that particular night. Though
bewildered, the staff closed the doors and went about their business. Later on,
they heard the ruckus again, and went back upstairs to inspect – all the doors
were wide open.
We all know there’s a
lot of speculation about what’s real and what’s not when it comes to the
supernatural… but maybe, just maybe, a night or two at the Heriot Bay Inn can
sway your opinion.

TIP: Be sure
to stop by the Herons Restaurant (not even for the hauntings, just the great
eats – I, personally, recommend the grilled Swiss and mushroom!)
