Summary
The city of Edmonton got its start as a place of trade like so many other Canadian cities. It eventually would be the Gateway to the North. Edmonton has come up on the podcast before when we covered Fort Edmonton. While the fort is one of the most haunted locations in the town, there are several other places with ghost stories. These include theaters, schools, hospitals, restaurants and a cemetery. Join us for the history and hauntings of Canada's Edmonton! The Moment in Oddity features the Silver Wraith. Our locations were suggested by Brodi Tallman and Tania Turner.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, you sputacular people. Welcome to this 634th episode of the History Goes Bump podcast. Ghost tours for the Theater of the Mind. I am your host, Diane. And this is Kelly. Kelly, on this episode, we're still staying with the international thing. We just keep popping around to international places. And it's not even on purpose. I'm just like, oh, let's do this, let's do this, and they just all end up being international. We're in Canada for this one, the city of Edmonton. |
| 0:24.2 | We're going to look at a lot of haunted locations there. We've done Fort Edmonton in the past and also did a redux, but we haven't covered all these other places, and there's a lot of haunted places in Edmonton. Well, I'm looking forward to bringing this to the listeners. |
| 0:47.3 | History tells the story of the world and of our lives. Sometimes that history goes bump in the night. |
| 0:56.9 | Broadcasting from the center of oddity and the supernatural in central Florida. it's the History Goes Bump podcast. |
| 1:01.9 | And now this moment in oddity. The moment in oddity was suggested by Michael Rogers. |

| 1:49.6 | And in 1954, there was a very unique silver wraith, which was one of a kind. |
| 1:55.8 | This vehicle was built for a lover of luxury, and it literally was a throne on wheels. |
| 2:03.1 | However, it might not be the type of throne that you're thinking of. This silver wraith had some very different |
| 2:07.8 | bells and whistles for the time. A coachwork company, Vignale, transformed this particular |
| 2:13.5 | silver wraith into quite the conversation piece. This car had a TV in the back, sofa-like bench seats, |
| 2:20.3 | hold out desks, a car phone, and even a throne built for a king. |
