The Shadbolt Centre for the performing Arts is right beside the Burnaby Art Gallery which is also haunted, Rumor of a girl who acted at the theatre. She had some personal problems and ended up drowning in Deer Lake by the centre. Since then she has haunted the theatre, doing many little things, some things not so little. There was a time when a girl was dancing on the stage, and when the song came to a part that was about spirits and ghosts, all the power in the theatre went off, all of it, all at once, and just like that, it came back on. The same girl saw the woman who drowned in the back room. Other things such as things being moved to other locations when no one moved them (which severely messed things up during plays), doors being opened when no one was around.

Mission - Heritage Park - visit web site
There are rumors of an angry spirit wandering the ruins in the park. Anyone there alone at night feels as though someone wants them to leave.

As people walked upstairs on the museum tour, trophy heads of a moose, and a caribou seem to be watching you. Accounts have been heard of these animals 'actually slightly turning their heads' to watch you. In the master bedroom, where Capt. Irving had actually died, there was an indentation in the bed, much in the shape of a human lying down on it.

The tunnels still stand today, and go under New Westminster.

If a driver is accompanied by a passenger and offered the hitchhiker a lift home she would just ignore them and continue walking, and if a lone male driver stops and offers the hitchhiker for a ride she would not hesitate and jumps in the rear seat, the driver would then ask the hitchhiker where home is and of course there would be no answer, because the woman is not there.
