Earlier today, the Vancouver Sun ran a story about a ghost sighting in one of the city’s storied landmarks: the Hotel Vancouver’s Lady in Red. An elevator mechanic, Graham Scott, working on another building a block away, supposedly captured an image of the spirit using his cellphone. The image was also posted to Twitter.

According to legend, an ethereal woman clothed in a red dress haunts the upper floors of the Hotel Vancouver, which was built in 1939 and is the third structure to bear the name.
However, I happened to be on Burrard Street this morning, with my camera (of course) and looked up at the north side of the Hotel Vancouver. Lo and behold, there was a red square on one of the windows on the top floor. Using my 55-300 mm zoom, I snapped a clear shot of what looks to be a red tarp covering a shattered window.
So, the mystery of the Lady in Red lives on.
