What waits on the route
Two buildings that would not burn
Drive a street that burned to the ground in one night in 1898, and hear what the survivors saw from the two buildings still standing.
Attested hauntings
Footsteps on empty floors, the smell of pipe tobacco in empty halls, a figure seen only in reflections. Every account on this drive was reported by someone who was there.
Documented history
The oldest city in Western Canada kept its record. Some of the heaviest stops on these drives contain no ghost story at all, because none is needed.
THE LEGENDS
At certain stops the narration opens a legend box. A story the city has told about that place for decades. Documented, attested, and never invented for the tour. You stay parked, engine off, and hear what the neighbourhood already believes happened there. Some of it checks out in the archives. Some of it you will want to look up when you get home.
The river
The Fraser was here first, and every drive ends up beside it. The last tour ends with your headlights off at the edge of the dark.
Before you drive
The car is the safe zone.
Dark Drives points you toward real places, which means the rules matter. Respect private property, posted signs, operating businesses, homes, memorials, and anyone else sharing the road.
