# Haunting British Columbia: Ghostly Tales from the Past - Hardcover

by **Mike McCardell** (Author)

**Broadcaster and bestselling author Mike McCardell haunts British Columbia's past in order to summon spellbinding tales of Western Canada.**

Reprising his 2013 bestseller _Haunting Vancouver,_ Mike McCardell summons the ghost of real-life pioneer Jock Linn to provide hair-raising and humorous versions of what really happened during some of the formative events that shaped British Columbia. In _Haunting British Columbia_, McCardell's ghostly narrator explains how Victoria became BC's capital (spoiler, it's all because Governor James Douglas couldn't stand waiting for a ferry); how Gassy Jack gave birth to Vancouver by running a beloved saloon, and more importantly how gassy he really was; and much, much more.

As the thousands who follow McCardell's long-running human-interest features on the evening news know, he has a fascination with the provincial past as well as an uncanny ability to unearth captivating and forgotten stories. Richly illustrated with archival photos and ghostly doodles, _Haunting British Columbia_ is as fun to read as it is a revealing tour of what really happened in those bygone days.

And it's all true... well, almost.
