43 Creepiest Locations Around The World To Be Actually Used In Film

27. The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Canada – The Haunted Castle of the Rockies

This luxurious, castle-like hotel nestled in the Canadian Rockies has long been considered one of the most haunted locations in North America. It’s rumored to be home to multiple restless spirits, making it an ideal filming location for supernatural horror films like Ghostkeeper (1981). Among the most famous ghosts is The Bride, a spectral woman seen wandering the grand staircase in her wedding dress—believed to have died there in a tragic accident on her wedding day. The Ghost of Room 873 is another chilling mystery; legend has it that a family was murdered in the room, and afterward, the door was sealed shut. Hotel guests still report hearing cries and seeing bloody handprints appear and disappear on the walls. Even with its five-star accommodations, the Fairmont Banff Springs is one of the few places where you might check in—but never truly leave.
