Field Trip

A luxurious, late 19th century masterpiece located in Banff National Park: Banff Springs Hotel. Its antique beauty never seems to go out of fashion; it is truly a sight to witness. 

On January 17, 1891 a young girl named Mary Anne was scheduled to wed the love of her life. Oh they were so deeply in love! As always the groom was awaiting the late wife-to-be. Mary Anne was in hurry, she did not wish to keep her blue prince anticipating for her presence. Mary Anne took no care of her long, embroidered tail of her white dress and the beautiful candle pathway in the steps. She smelt smoke, when she turned around she found the beautiful, embroidered tail of her dress in flames. In such shock and desperation Mary Anne tripped and broke her neck; her cadaver lay in the fire. Minutes later the groom and the family went on a search for her, they found nothing. Later that evening the janitor was seen collecting ashes from the staircase—Those same ashes the janitor encountered again in the groom’s bedroom.

No one never really knew where Mary Anne went; some say she ran away with a secret lover, some say she became lost in the woods and mountains. A hundred years later on January 17, 1991 yet again a bride-to-be scheduled her wedding in Banff Springs—Consequently her name was Anne Marie. Since it was winter, Anne Marie took advantage of the fireplace in her suite to provide warmth. Her blue prince and family started to worry when they noticed she was over an hour late. They went on a search for her—When they reached Anne Marie’s suite all they found was her white dress with that beautifully long, embroidered tail laying on the bed. The groom looked and looked for her—Even in the woods he searched, he only found the wind carrying ashes. Anne Marie was never seen again.
