Haunted Hells Gate

Disgruntled Spirits from the Grave Say "No" to Provincial Smoking Ban atone of B.C.'s Most Popular Attractions
----------------------------------------------------------
 
BOSTON BAR, British Columbia: With plumes of cigarette smoke lingering throughout Haunted Hells Gate, Spirit of the Canyon "The Face in the River".the fresh Fraser Canyon air, it seems like B.C.'s smokers are not the only ones who aren't prepared to "butt out".  The dead don't agree, either! "It's been an interesting winter to say the least," chuckles Debbie McKinney, long-time General Manager of Hell's Gate
Airtram. "There always seems to be someone smoking around here. but there's never anyone at the end of the cigarette!"
 According to McKinney, the staff and management are not the only ones to complain about the disembodied cigarette smoke: customers have complained about it, too. "It is just something that we will have to keep an eye - and nose - on!" adds McKinney. The popular attraction was deemed officially haunted by a Vancouver-based paranormal research group last winter.

The photo depicts the outline of a spooky face
that was spotted in the Fraser River. The photo was taken just above the Hell's Gate gorge by a visitor, who submitted the photo to the Airtram Management. "We sent the photo to a photo analysis lab in Vancouver, and they told us it was a classic case of 'Pareidolia,'"  says McKinney's brother Brian. The term pareidolia describes a psychological phenomenon where an individual perceives a vague and random image or sound to be significant. Continues Brian, "Not everyone agrees with the findings. The spooky face is just part of the eerie mystique that has been going on in and around the Hell's Gate Airtram property."
