Swap - Count of Frontenac

This postcard depicts Quebec’s Chateau Frontenac hotel’s most famous otherworldly resident: the Count of Frontenac, for whom the hotel is named. The Count died in New France while his fiancée was in Europe. Legend tells us he had his heart sent to her, but she returned it, mortified by such a grisly final gesture.

Swap - Ghost Bride

A wonderful postcard from Canada Post's 2014 Haunted Canada series.  I'm fascinated with this series as the cards and stories are so intriguing.   This bride was to be married at the Banff Springs Hotel in the 30ths.  As she descended the staircase her wedding dress brushed against a candle. She panicked at the flames and fell down the stairs to her death.
