The Ghosts Of The Rankin Inlet Fire Hall

One of the most haunted places in Canada?

The community of Rankin Inlet, located on the Kudlulik Peninsula in Nunavut, is the second-largest settlement in Nunavut with 2,975 people.

The area has long been inhabited by the First Nations. The Thule People hunted bowhead whales in the area around 1200 CE, followed by the Inuit who came into the area and fished along the coast.

The community was founded by the owners of the Rankin Inlet Mine, which produced nickel and copper ores. The community is also famous as the hometown of NHL player Jordon Tootoo.

And within the community, you will find the local fire hall, which has been around for about 30 years. It is unassuming enough, but it may also be one of the most haunted places in Canada.

Through the years, people have reported seeing spirits in the hall, and the spirits seem to interact with people as well.

One ghost has a fondness for gloves, and will often steal them and leave them elsewhere in the fire hall.

There is the spirit of a man who walks up and down the stairs of the fire hall into a storage room. That room was once the office of a fire chief and some believe that the chief still haunts where he once worked.

One woman reported seeing a little girl wandering around the ambulance bay. When she looked back again, the girl had vanished into thin air.

There is one more figure, and he may be the most unsettling. It is a shadowy human, all in black, who moves through the doors. He can be heard walking and running through the fire hall.

The figure may be unsettling to see but according to the firefighters who work there, none of the spirits appear to be filled with any malice.

As for why the hall is so haunted, some believe that it is because the hall also serves as the ambulance bay. When someone dies in the ambulance, they may hang around and stay with it in the fire hall.
