This Halloween, True North True Crime takes you back to June 1898 at what was once the Empire Hotel, where the tragic love story of Charles Kincaid and Belle Adams ended in bloodshed. On that fateful night, Charles, clutching his bleeding neck, stumbled into the street, followed by Belle, razor in hand, crying, “Don’t die!”Now an office building, workers report eerie encounters—unexplained sounds and ghostly figures in the halls—believing the spirits of Charles and Belle still linger. We’re joined by haunted tour guide Gill Millam from Discover the Past, who shares chilling stories of these hauntings and reveals why this tale has left its mark on one of Canada’s most haunted cities.Go on a tour with Discover the Past: https://discoverthepast.com/--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime
