12 Forgotten Places in Canada That Shouldn't Exist

12 Forgotten Places in Canada That Shouldn't Still Exist 🇨🇦 From a town buried alive in 90 seconds to a community erased under water on purpose, these are 12 of the most haunting abandoned places and ghost towns in Canada — and the real, often dark, stories behind each one. We travel from the photographed ruins of Balaclava, Ontario and the eerily preserved streets of Val-Jalbert, Quebec, to the rain-soaked skeleton of Ocean Falls, BC, the hidden ghost town inside Banff National Park, and the deadliest landslide in Canadian history at Frank, Alberta. Coal towns, gold rush boomtowns, drowned villages, and a community destroyed by its own city — every one of them was once somebody's entire world. If you love Canadian history, abandoned places, ghost towns, and true stories that sound almost impossible, this one is for you. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:30 #12 Balaclava, Ontario 02:00 #11 Val-Jalbert, Quebec 04:00 #10 Ocean Falls, British Columbia 06:00 #9 Bankhead, Alberta 08:00 #8 Sandon, British Columbia 10:00 #7 Barkerville, British Columbia 12:00 #6 Nordegg, Alberta 14:30 #5 Silver City, Yukon 17:00 #4 Gagnon, Quebec 19:00 #3 Africville, Nova Scotia 21:30 #2 The Lost Villages, Ontario 24:00 #1 Frank, Alberta 27:00 Final Thoughts 💬 Which of these stayed with you the most?
