Do you dare visit the Ghosts at the Maritime Museum?

October 25, 2010

In the early morning hour, she heard it-the familiar sound of a body sinking into a chair and leaning back causing a very audible creak. This would not have been unusual if it was late morning or early afternoon and the museum was filled with staff. However, given the fact that she was the only one upstairs on the third floor, and given the fact that someone would have had to walk right past her to get to the chair in the next office, and, lastly and perhaps most importantly, given the fact that she heard the everyday normal sound in the absence of any other living being, suggested that she was not alone.  It came again-ccccreeaakkk... Twice was enough; the volunteer left the room as quickly as possible.

On her next shift, the volunteer sought out the lawyer who rented the office with the squeaky chair to relay to him her experience of the previous weekend. She rapped on his door to see if he was in. He called, "Enter!" As she opened the door, she spied a gentleman sitting across from the lawyer. There was nothing strange in this, however, at that very moment, the gentleman leaned back in the chair and what met her ears? The exact sound she had heard all alone, that previous morning. Could it have been the infamous "Hanging Judge" Begbie revisiting his old chambers? If you are brave enough, join the Maritime Museum of BC on Oct. 30th and 31st for our annual Ghost Tours to hear this and other true chilling stories of the Ghosts at the Museum.
