In the Fort Ou’Appelle area, the former Fort San has now been turned into the Echo Valley Conference Center, which once served as a treatment center for people suffering from tuberculosis. Not only did patients receive treatment at this location, but they also resided within the fort. At that time, many who were treated for the disease did not make it and died as a result of various complications. Since then, it has become a popular haunted location to the locals of Saskatchewan. Investigators and paranormal researchers have come from near and far to experience the strange events that occur at the fort. Today, visitors can tour the facility for themselves. Overnight stays can also be arranged for groups of people wishing to test their bravery and spend the night on the premises. Numerous stories can be explored regarding this site.
The worst cases of tuberculosis patients were placed within the Fort San Sanitarium, which was constructed during the early 1900s. Throughout the years, the site has since been used for a variety of activities and organizations. For example, in the 70s, it served as a private art gallery. When entering the various rooms, some have reported the feeling of choking when walking throughout the premises. It is said that there is a ghost of a nurse, who can sometimes be seen still making her rounds. Some claim that sounds of restless footsteps and wheelchairs scraping along the floor can be heard.
In the area, there is also a military base, where cadets are sent to spent a summer at camp. Numerous cadets have reported the sighting of a ghost on the premises.
