Anne Morgan and Jamie Toole took over ownership of the hotel in Carcross, Yukon in 2006 with the intention of restoring it to its former glory and refashioning it as a boutique hotel with a restaurant and bar.

“It’s got the most amazing history for the Yukon,” Morgan told CTV’s Your Morning from Whitehorse on Tuesday.

The historic Caribou Hotel was originally built in Bennett, B.C. in 1898, during the start of the famed gold rush. It operated for several years, a short distance from U.S. President Donald Trump’s grandfather’s restaurant and hotel, before it was floated down Lake Bennett to Carcross.

Over the next century, the three-storey, wood-framed building switched hands numerous times and became a historically significant structure for the region, even being deemed a Yukon Historic Site in 2008.

“It’s a really significant landmark here,” Morgan said. “It’s a pretty interesting place.”

Plenty of that interest lies in the building’s reputation as being haunted.

According to local legend, the spirit of one of the hotel’s former owners, Bessie Gideon, still roams the building’s storied halls.

The hotel’s website said Gideon has been known to enjoy “slamming doors and creaking floors; putting bubbles in bathtubs; knocking on floorboards and looking out windows.”

Morgan said Gideon died on Oct. 27, 1933, exactly five years, to the day, after her husband died.
