Why Niagara Falls´ ´Screaming Tunnel´ is one of ´10 of the Most Haunted Places to Visit Around the World´

Mhsheikholeslami On the edge of town and just 125 feet long, this limestone-brick drainage tunnel built in the early 20th century, and its supernatural reputation comes from the legend of a young girl who died from burns in here; there are variations on the story - that she was set ablaze in a nearby farmhouse fire and died of her burns after fleeing here, that she was set on fire by her own father here as a result of a vicious divorce and custody battle, that she was raped in here and her body…

I caught this recently and it brought me back to my visit to QC for its winter carnival - complete with a night in the Hôtel de Glace (ice hotel). I thought I´d be freezing my ass off those several days but it was delightful (well, except maybe for having to get up to pee overnight at the ice hotel)! https://chatelaine.com/living/travel/what-to-do-in-quebec-city/

I remember being quite impressed by several high-end restaurants I sampled on my last visit to Toronto, and now comes news that the city is home to all 13 of Canada's very first restaurants to receive Michelin stars (and one, a Japanese, received two). Some have criticized the selection for lack of diversity - apart from Japanese, all the rest are Euro-centric when there are dozens of ethnicities culinarily represented here - but still, it's really stirring the pot! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62894286
