Vancouver Haunted Trolley Tour

By monnibo | Published: October 30, 2010

Several weeks ago I asked my dad if he wanted to go on the Vancouver Haunted Trolley Tour with me. He’s a fan of local history and even wrote a historical newsletter for the local community centre for several years. I’d heard great things about the Haunted Trolley Tour, and this year it included a visit to the Vancouver Police Museum which is the old city morgue. We certainly weren’t disappointed!
