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…

2 Canadian ranches in 'Fall for North America on these 8 Horse Ranch Holidays'

@danielles_lens There is no better place in which to snap autumn's kaleidoscope of colours than the USA and Canada.

Hi, Drrly,
So right! The Falls are so worth the visit. I live just forty mintues from the Falls, and every visitor I have asks me to take them there. It is on all of their "1000 Things to See Before I Die" lists. I still experience that first moment of silence when you stand at the edge - even after all these visits.
But there are so many better places to eat than Harvey's. did you know that Niagara Falls is a hotbed of authentic Italian cuisine? There's a large Italian community here, and the food is amazing. Nex time, try Antica Pizza at the top of Clifton Hill. Great sote oven baked Neopolitan pizza's and very affordable too.

Glad you visited and glad you liked our Falls!

Thanks Allan and Colin. That's what I wanted to hear!

I live in Vancouver. We have snow at Grouse, Cypress, Seymour and Whistler/Blackcomb - the lack of snow "problem" was blown out of proportion by the obvious importance of the Olympics. All snow locations have occassional "problems" during a season... As Allan says there's a good chance of skiing November through April. The hiking, biking, zip-lining, golf, etc in the Spring/Summer isn't bad either...
Allan Lynch March 1, 2010 at 2:38am

Thanks. The honour of the nation was at stake.

BTW, I was in Vancouver Dec. 08 and in Vancouver and Whistler in January 09 doing my Olympic coverage. It snowed in December and almost brought the city to a halt. I was out to dinner with friends on Saturday night. It snowed three inches and the next evening my flight was delayed seven hours because of the snow!

Whistler had tons of snow then and it snowed while I was there. I've been to Whistler five times and even in April you'll have enough snow on the mountain to ski or snowboard. I don't ski, but I started getting snow reports about mid-November for Whistler.

Yes, and you earned it. Congratulations Canada !
Allan Lynch March 1, 2010 at 1:31am

Whistler had snow all along. Remember, Vancouver is on the coast, Whistler is two hours away in the mountains.

Oh, btw - we won gold at hockey!!!
David Lawrence March 1, 2010 at 1:21am

After looking at these Winter Olympics, I can't decide if I should ski Whistler-Blackcomb next year or not. Have you been? How reliable is the weather?
