Back in 1946, The Dr. Charles Camsell Indian Hospital opened up in the capitol city of Edmonton, Alberta.
Today, an empty building is all that stands. Local urban legends say the halls of the old Camsell hospital are haunted with the wandering souls of the patients the doctors and staff at Camsell were supposed to heal.
Some haunted places on this earth are created due to human intervention and crimes against humanity. Today's episode covers just such a place. I will be covering a dark time in Canada's history, and how the Camsell segregated hospital played a role in the attempted sterilization and genocide of the aboriginal cultures of the Canadian Inuk, Inuit, other First Nations Peoples.
