S1 E9 Three Ghost Stories and a Murder
In this Halloween Special of Cold Case Canada, the stories range from the Hostess with the Ghostess in Chilliwack, to a particularly gruesome murder in James Bay with an odd twist.
Bill Allman, a very sane, “recovering” lawyer and promoter, talks about his experience with the Vogue Theatre ghost when he managed the venue back in the ‘90s.

Missing Heritage: Trader Vic’s
In the late 1980s when I worked at the Vancouver Stock Exchange we’d sometimes hangout at Trader Vic’s, the Polynesian-style bar and restaurant that sat in the parking lot of the Westin Bayshore.
It’s been gone since 1999—taken to Vancouver Island and left to rot.
I was reminded of Trader Vic’s again when I was reading Aaron Chapman’s Vancouver After Dark and looking at the photo of the building disappearing on a barge underneath the Lion’s Gate bridge.

S1 E8: The Shaughnessy Murder of Marion Hamilton
The story of Marion Hamilton’s murder first appeared in my book At Home With History back in 2007. It’s a fascinating story of a once prominent Vancouver family, money, a rambling old run-down mansion, murder and greed. In other words, it has all the elements for a great Halloween story.

A great cover not only helps to sell the book, but it shows the reader what they can expect to find inside its pages.
