Quadra St. (btwn Meares St. & Rockland Ave.), Victoria, BC
Park · Fairfield · 3 tips and reviews
Jason Foldes: Featured on the TV show "Creepy Canada" for its ghost sightings, this place is a must see. Both a park and cemetery this is a historical landmark best seen during the day.
913 Government St. (btwn Broughton St. & Courtney St.), Victoria, BC
Candy Store · Downtown Victoria · 8 tips and reviews
Jason Foldes: If Queen Elizabeth only orders her chocolates here you know you have to visit. The store's original owner haunts the place but don't worry he's nice. He was a prankster in life and continues in death.
Kyle Pickering: Download the iPhone app "Composing You" and go for a walk around the park following the interactive art installation by Judy Jheung. It's awesome.

Jason Foldes: One word to some up this alley, creepy. Once the pathway to the city jail for chain gangs, now it is a historic site, a supernatural hot spot, and the occasional shelter for the city's homeless.

Capitol Building · James Bay · 29 tips and reviews
Sandy Wakeling: One of the past Speakers of the House died before he could have his official photo taken, and was actually photographed post-mortem! Can you guess which one?
Gastropub · Downtown Victoria · 19 tips and reviews
Jenn Kristianson: Pretty sure it's my fave pub in this city. Lots of local brew taps, amazing, down-to-earth staff and yum food. Garrick's burger, Shep Pie and Fish n Chips plus chowder are my picks....
