Discover a mysterious side of Lethbridge, where historic buildings hold unexpected stories and local legends linger long after the lights go out. Lethbridge After Dark takes you on a self-guided Halloween journey through the city’s history and ghostly folklore, with audio storytelling from the Lethbridge Historical Society. Hear about George Bailey at the former Galt Hospital, phantom performers at the Yates Theatre, and a hotel whose ghost stories survived its demolition. Along the way, explore familiar landmarks and places whose earlier lives have almost disappeared from view. Each stop brings together stories of the people who shaped Lethbridge and the unexplained encounters that became part of its local lore. Some tales have roots in documented events; others remain rumours, mysteries and stories passed down through generations. Bring your curiosity, explore at your own pace, and decide which legends you believe. Enjoy each stop from public paths and viewing areas; the stories don’t require access to private or restricted spaces. And perhaps bring a friend. George does get lonely.
