About this ebook

An exploration of the spooky side of Edmonton.

Full of ghosts and strange sights, Edmonton is a place rich in the paranormal. Or is it? Are there really spirits that lurk around Fort Edmonton and the provincial legislature? Do ghosts really haunt the halls of the University of Alberta, rushing off to classes that have long finished? Can paranormal echoes of the dark history of Charles Camsell Hospital still be felt within its walls today? What about the stories of the phantoms that loiter around the graveyards, bars, schools, and pools of the city?

In this collection of more than forty stories, Eerie Edmonton reveals the truth in the tales people tell and shines a spotlight on the city’s dark shadows and colourful past. Join Rhonda Parrish and Rona Anderson as they compare personal accounts of hauntings and paranormal activity with documented history and their own on-the-ground investigations.

Ratings and reviews

I have never had an encounter that could not be explained by normal occurrences but I do love a good ghost story. Let us just say I am a skeptic but enjoy the paranormal, especially ghost type. This book was awesome because, first, Rhonda Parrish is an awesome author and she brought such sensibility to this book that I was able to enjoy it without becoming annoyed at somethings that often are said when people just want to believe in something and ignore other possibilities. But this book has a lot to make me think as well. I also loved reading about the history of Edmonton and I loved this book.

Eerie Edmonton is an enjoyable book of stories about haunted sites in the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. These stories are well researched and have a historical background to support the haunting claims. There are accounts from numerous people, stories passed down throughout the years, accounts from a psychic, and investigations done by the author. This is an interesting read and has now added Edmonton to the list of places I would like to visit in the next couple of years.
