Haunted Vancouver: Ghost Conductor at The Old Spaghetti Factory

The Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown is one of the hottest paranormal spots in Vancouver. Since Gastown is the oldest part of town, it’s only natural that it would be home to a lot of paranormal activity. The story at The Old Spaghetti Factory is that of a ghost of a train conductor. Apparently he died in a train crash sometime at the turn of the century and still roams the popular dining establishment.

If you’ve ever been to The Old Spaghetti Factory you will know that there is a decommissioned electric trolley from the 1950′s in the restaurant’s dining room. The trolley has become a landmark of sorts, many people snap photos in the trolley everyday. In fact, years ago a photo was taken that hints at a ghostly figure at the steps of the trolley. That spirit is believed to be of the train conductor who died in a crash many years ago. That photo is on the restaurant wall, so the next time you’re down there check it out. That is the most famous photo of the spirit, however, it is not the only one as many witnesses say they have photos that they believe show the ghostly figure as well.

Furthermore, restaurant employees attest to the eerie vibes, especially after closing time. It is also said that the ghost conductor likes to call out the names of longtime employee’s. A second ghost, or perhaps the same, has also been reported. A red-headed man who likes to surprise women in the ladies’ washroom.
