2:55 Lived in Regina my whole life. I can actually answer what the rotting smell is.
Wascana Lake was originally a collection of wetlands before it was cleared and made into an artifical lake during the 1880s. It was thought that the lake could be made into a recreation location, so canoeing and sailing became a popular thing to do there; there was even a rather short-lived period where it was played up into being a great place to go swimming during Thomas Walter Scott's two terms as Premier of Saskatchewan from 1905 to 1916.
This is where the rotten-egg smell comes in. Creating an artificial lake on top of a wet-land biome can be done, but the problem is that these areas are rich with all sorts of bacteria that feeds on micro-organisms living in the water; they also feed on any rotten plants, resulting in the creation of hydrogen sulfide, a gas similar to the pungent smell of rotten eggs.
Wascana Lake is a beautiful place, but because of the build-up of trash and plastics, it's become somewhat polluted. This doesn't help with the smell, and although there are efforts from the Parks and Recreation Department to clean the lake, the funding for large-scale cleaning has been getting smaller and smaller.
I know this isn't exaclty as exciting as a ghost being the cause of the smell, but it's still fascinating to learn.
Was gonna mention that. Having been born and raised in that city, I second all that. Not as exciting as a ghost being the source of the smell, but interesting nevertheless.
On another funny note, a lot of the locals hate the idea of swimming in the lake because of that. Honestly, you would have to drop a few grand for me to hop into that lake again. Though, there are exceptions. I was in a kayaking program one summer when I was a teen, and I remember we used to cow tip each other's kayaks in order to mess around and to cool off on hot summer days. I bet that the kids probably still do that. xD
Thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I knew Wascana Lake was engineered from wetlands but that's about it. I actually haven't noticed a bad smell when I'm there and it's a beautiful spot in town. Cheers mate
It was dredged and cleaned up a while back. It's much better now.
Yup. I never saw, yet I smelled ghostly stenches, while utilizing Regina restrooms.
you encountered the ghosts of tacos past
James Strathdee actually was found 6 miles north of Regina in a ditch near the railway. I am talking about my research into him on my radio show/podcast this week. 😊
Thanks for using my website for some of your research. I am based in Regina and love this topic! 👻
I appreciate the correction, cheers! I was surprised at how many ghost legends there were in Regina and of course there were some I didn't even mention in this video. I remember watching one of your videos awhile back and I appreciate your work in highlighting ghost stories in Saskatchewan. I'll make sure to check out your podcast - cheers mate!
@@strangenorth Saskatchewan is quite haunted, which surprises me!
The Globe Theater is a good one too. Countless stories over there
I appreciate the tip, cheers!
There is an old monastery in south regina I used to have to do security for and it was hated by every single security guard because of how balls-out haunted it was. Shadow people constantly following you, a very old nun who will ask you for help before disappearing, the large Mary statue that would move to different rooms and floors within minutes, the horrible screaming and crying you would hear coming from the basement whenever you were in a particular area of the monastery.. I know of at least 3 guards who quit on the spot because of something happening to them. Personally I only ever saw the shadow figures and heard the pained cries coming from the basement, but I heard plenty of stories from the old timers who had been working security there for decades. How it isn't a known haunted location is a tad confusing as even the old church members who looked after the place openly spoke about the hauntings. That whole place just has this constant feeling of dread or like you are in danger or something. Last I heard the place got bought by some cultish sounding new age religious group so who knows what goes on there now but that is definitely a place I do not miss.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - that's really interesting, are you willing to share which building that is? I'm surprised at how many reportedly haunted locations there are in Regina! Cheers mate
Where is this place? I used to teach music lessons out of "Bishops Court". I didn't like being there alone 😕
@@georgiajoanna7591 right across from Golden Mile
@@TheUnknownDungeon Are you talking about Sisters Of Precious Blood?
I’m curious what building it is…
Appreciate your content .
The channel covers many subjects and story telling skills are awesome 💯
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - I'm glad my little videos are providing value to people out there. Cheers mate!
Hey I just discovered your channel! Thanks UA-cam algorithm! Anyways I figured I would add something you might find interesting.
My grandmother used to work at the government house in Regina in the 70’s or 80’s.(I cannot remember exacly when atm) she was a cleaner and she almost exclusively worked a night shift there. She had many experiences with phenomena. Most of it was pretty typical. Toilets flushing themselves, faucets turning on, lights flickering, footsteps, that sort of thing. But one thing she mentioned stuck out to me. Sometimes she would hear footsteps when she was the only one in the building during her nightly cleaning. And when she would go to investigate, the only thing she would ever see is a pair of legs walking around the corner. She could never make out anything else. At least, that’s what she tells me. It seems she gets a little spooked whenever I bring the subject up.
Anyways, I really enjoyed your video, it was both informative and entertaining. Cheers!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - that building definitely seems to have some strange activity, and it was a cool building to explore. I cringe at these early videos, I was only a couple months into my UA-cam channel with zero experience lol. I still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos but I'm glad they're providing value to people out there. Cheers!
Lived in Regina years back, always remembered the ghost story of the Bushwakker's building
Thanks for watching! It's a great brewpub in a cool building in my favorite neighborhood in the city!
I lived there many years ago never again
Cool video I heard about some of these! Someone told me more stories about stuff
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos. I enjoyed learning about the haunted spots in Regina. Cheers mate!
A good friend of mine waitered at Crave's in the old Assiniboine Club when it first opened. There is a story that during renovations, it was discovered that the doors to one of the rooms on the third floor had been plastered over so it looked like there was one less room from the hallway. People have claimed that the figure of a woman was seen in the window of this doorless room. I have another acquaintance who works for the university, which owns Darke Hall. In the 1990s, he was in the basement of Darke Hall, when all the light fixtures over the doors of the rehearsal rooms fell off and hit the floor with a single bang. This probably was because the contractor used screws that were too short to install them and hadn't connected the wires. I've been in all the locations, some of them many times, without seeing anything. A friend from high school owned the coffee shop in the former judge's house. Several of his employees reported some strange things such as baking smells when opening in the morning and the tub stopper moving to the back parking lot at night, but I don't know anyone who saw a visible ghost.
Interesting, thanks for watching and sharing those stories! Regina definitely had more reportedly haunted locations than I thought there would be, including some I didn't get to in this video. Cheers mate
The McDonalds on Dewdney & Albert. The 7/11 on Vic & Winnipeg hahaha. The old asian grocery on like 5th & Robinson hahaha. Too many.
Whoa, so cool!
thanks bud!
I loved this video! I lived in Regina for 6 years and visited most of the sights on this video in the early 90s. I get "feelings" when dead are around. Its really cool ..but I dont really talk about it. But you are verifying what I have experienced visiting some of these places. I wanted to mention that once in Prince Albert we took in the museum. I stepped in the building and my hairs stood on end. Fear came over me going up the steps like i was chased. As I came down the steps I saw a young boy and a young girl hanging by their necks above the stairs. They were wearing clothes like from late 1800 early 1900s. I blinked them away. I wonder what was going on in this old building way back. I just had an experience at Candle Lake resort last fall. Also 2nd st Medicine Hat Ab. We lived in a severely haunted home as a child. Thanks for your work. I got more stories pm if you are interested. Thx
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - sounds like you've had some wild experiences! It was neat doing this video and I was surprised how many haunted locations there were in Regina, including some I didn't get to in this video. Cheers!
When I was a kid (early 2000s) we stayed the night at the science centre for beavers. Late at night when we were supposed to be sleeping I saw someone walking across the cat walk above the top floor. Creeped me out, but didn’t think anything of it.
Years later my dad was telling ghost stories and described exactly what I saw and more. He was a troop leader at the time. He and the other adults saw this thing walk across. They asked the staff about it; one staff member got freaked out and went home, the other took them up to investigate.
They sent one of them to go across the cat walk and apparently the people who hung back could see someone walking towards them from the other side, but vanished before the volunteer got to it. The staff told them that someone had fallen to their death when it was the power house, but I haven’t investigated it enough to confirm that.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - interesting, lots of similar stories out there surrounding that place. Cool facility, visited in 2012 and tried the climbing wall but no strange experiences. Cheers!
I used to volunteer in the General, before it went through the renovations, and can say that it's basement is bad for running into people who have passed on. I also owned a house in the "Transition Area" between Vic and College, that is haunted. I suspect it had everything to do with the cyclone ripping through the area in 1912.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - good to know and I never considered the cyclone connection. It was the deadliest tornado in Canadian history and Edmonton shares a similar event - the tornado of 1987. Cheers!
@@strangenorth After hearing and seeing weird things in my house, I checked into city archives and found that my house was built only a few month later to replaced the one that was destroyed in the cyclone. I suspect not all bodies were recovered. Take a walk in the Transition area. You'll feel the creepiness.
Good job on the video,
@@skully0078 I appreciate the extra info, Regina has way more haunted locations than I thought there would be and I may do a part 2 video down the road. Cheers
I've seen the mirror upstairs of the Government House actually move. It definitely has a vibe to it
Thanks for watching - that place is really interesting and it's the only haunted location where I had a strange camera malfunction. Cheers!
the OLD sear outlet store right next to value village is haunted by 3 ghosts i only ever caught a glimpse of the 1 a worker who was crushed to death in a elevator had overalls with an Eaton's logo and a flat cap from the 20's
Interesting, thanks for sharing! Cheers mate
I've worked at the Casino and Darke Hall and both are haunted. I would never look at the alcove between the stairs in Darke Hall when I was alone because that is where I would see a dark shadow person and I would always run down the back hall when I had to go out the back door.Very spooky when you are alone.😅
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - very interesting! I was surprised at how many reportedly haunted buildings there were in Regina. And I didn't even get to all of them in this video. Cheers mate, have a great week!
I worked at the casino as well and I acted being down in the tunnels alone especially by the old cells
Am in Regina Saskatchewan
Thanks for watching! Cheers
Centennial Bingo is haunted. Right next to a cemetary. Players have died in it back in the busy days. Lots of great noises after late nights.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I actually didn't know that one, but there were a couple other places in Regina I didn't get to in this one. I may do a part 2 video down the road. Cheers!
I worked there and while i never was there overnight, i always wondered if it being next to a graveyard would have some juju.
When i rode my bike from the casino though i swear id see some movement in the graveyard at night.
men's club "no women allowed" hhaha go figure. Great video enjoyed this and I knew all of them but I still love seeing it again.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - Regina had more haunted locations than I thought it would! Cheers mate
I don't believe in ghosts yet I am enspookened
Thanks for watching, glad you got some value out of the video! Cheers mate
Thanks for mentioning "Government House" on your list.
I was there for a school tour in 2nd Grade and definitely felt paramonal activity.👻 Almost like someone was spying on us.😱
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - very cool to hear about your experience, thanks for sharing I forgot if I mention this in the video, but I actually experienced something that has never happened to me when I was taking video inside the building. My battery on my camera started rapidly draining all of a sudden, and it had never done this. And then when I went outside after I was done filming the battery was full. So strange, I wonder what happened there? All the best to you, cheers mate!
?what the science center? I have lived here all my life so there's no way?! That it Haunted?!
Thanks for watching - yeah apparently it's haunted! Really col building. Cheers mate

I appreciate it, thanks for watching - SK has way more haunted locations than I originally thought there would be. Let's do a collab sometime, I visit SK often!
@strangenorth sounds good. Just let me know when and what location you are interested in, and we will do some sort of investigation together.
@@PurgatoryAdventures Sounds good - I'm going to be in SK in a couple weeks doing some other videos but next spring I want to cover some haunted locations outside of Regina and Saskatoon. Cheers
