From Vikki:
October 22, 1911
She was beautiful bride and her day had come. The man she planned to love for the rest of her life waited. Her gown was perfect. Her mother had ordered it from Paris. Her dark eyes twinkled beneath the layers of ivory lace and satin. Flowers filled every inch of the hotel lobby and beautiful candles lit her way down the staircase.She could see her Father’s broad smile at the bottom of the stairs. He held his out his hand to her, ready to walk her down the aisle. The music started and she took her first step…..

At the turn of the century, Baniff Springs Hotel lined their staircase with candles for a wedding at the hotel. When the bride came down the staircase, the train of her dress caught on one of the candles and went into flames. In a state of panic, she fell down the stairs breaking her neck and died. Today the hotel is a popular ski resort nestled in the Rocky Mountains. My story and character is fictitious, but the story of the bride who fell to her death and now haunts the hotel- is said to be true.
