By now most Vancouverites have heard of, visited, and even
experienced the spirits of Salmagundi West, a curio shop in the city’s Gastown
area. The incredible eclectic collection
of unique items Anne Banner sells in her shop, help lend to the entire “paranormal”
claim. Salmagundi West may also resolve
some of your “I don’t know what to get so & so for Xmas” troubles. If you have not dropped by, please do so @
321 Cordova St West. Tell them VSPI sent
you.
For Vancouver Spooks, this shop is certainly one of mystery
and chills. However, during our first
investigation (end of July 2014), an
early evening one and not the usual overnight exposure, we did not collect
paranormal evidence to prove the claim of “spirits”. This doesn't lend to the fact that some team
members had personal experiences, which cannot be presented as proof.
