Summary

Welcome back to Dark Realms,

For today's Dark Realm, we journey to Kamloops, British Columbia, exploring the dark history and terrifying hauntings of the infamous Tranquille Sanatorium. Once a haven for those battling tuberculosis and later home to the mentally ill, Tranquille’s abandoned halls echo with decades of tragedy and despair. Join us as we uncover the spine-tingling legends that permeate this location, and prepare yourself for a haunting exploration into one of Canada’s most terrifying places, where the boundary between history and horror blurs, and restless spirits ensure their stories are never forgotten.
