As far as I know, this is the most complete list on the web of reported/rumoured hauntings in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the surrounding area.
Be careful of some sites listing haunted places in Winnipeg, they're not always accurate. I've come across information for Winnipeg and Manitoba that lists places that are said to be here but are actually in another province (which makes research difficult).
That being said I've listed these places in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas that I have come across in print, on-line, and through word of mouth where I have tried to verify names and info. Some of the links right now do not lead to any pages in this website but to information I have found. I'll let you know when pages are added.
Know a place not listed, let me know, but please try to be careful in the telling. And PLEASE let me know if I've made a mistake so I can fix it and make this list as accurate as possible.
The locations with * I have personally been to.
Please get permission to enter the grounds or buildings before you go.
