The information on Prince House in Heritage Park, located in Calgary, Alberta, was submitted to us by Mike H.  There is a fascinating legend about the Prince House, and the pictures show an interesting home built in the 1800's.  Some of the pictures show orbs or other paranormal activity.

The house and its legend are so interesting that we decided to post a whole page about it.  Our thanks to Mike H. for the work he put into this, and for so graciously sharing it with us.

The facts are as follows:

Peter Prince married four times, and the first three wives predeceased him in this house.  His first wife, Margaret Corrigan, died on Feb. 4, 1898, at 58 years of age, from a long illness.  His second wife, Emma Wallin, died in Oct. 17, 1900, from tuberculosis, at 46 years of age.  His third wife, Rosa Douglas, died on Oct. 21, 1907, from cancer.  He married his fourth wife, Emily Whitlock, in 1909.
Peter Prince died on Jan. 12, 1925, at the 89 years of age.  Emily died in 1944.  Emily's daughter, Nora Whitlock (Peter's stepdaughter), died in the house in 1965. 
Peter was the founder of the Alberta Natural Gas and Electric Company.  The company donated the house to Heritage Park in 1966.  The house was moved to its present location in 1967.

The ghostly legend is as follows:

Peter's second wife, Emma Wallin, was confined to the third floor of the house, due to her illness.  The third floor is said to be haunted by her.
( The third floor is closed off for safety reasons, as the stairs leading to it are  narrow, steep, and dark.  The third floor was also the living quarters for the servants employed by the Princes.)

The nursery on the second floor is where many people have seen a lady dressed in period costume, a long white dress with high lace collar. She has been seen wrapping a baby in a blanket and sitting in a chair in the corner, rocking the baby. This story was taken from a book titled: Ghost Stories of Heritage Park. The book also states that no one goes into the rooms upstairs except for the curator and the cleaning staff. The rooms are locked because they are filled with artifacts.  The Lady in white carrying the baby has also been seen next door in the Sandstone house.

The first picture above shows the outside of the Prince House.  The second picture is a close-up of the third floor window on the left, in the tower section (middle of the picture).  There appears to be a small figure looking out of the window. 
The third picture is a close-up of the window directly above the left side of the main porch.  There appears to be a figure looking out of this window, as well.
The fourth picture is a close-up of the farthest left third floor window.  This picture also appears to show a figure looking out.

      
The first picture above shows the main entrance to the Prince House, with a staff member (her face has been blurred to protect her privacy) standing in the doorway.  The second picture is a close-up of the far left main floor window of the first picture.  There appears to be part of the figure of a woman looking out of the window.

                      

The above pictures are also of the main floor of the house.  The first picture shows the stairway to the second floor.  The second pictures shows the sitting room to the left, and to the right of the fireplace is the dining room, and then the entrance to the kitchen can be seen on the far right.  The face of the staff member has been blurred to protect her privacy.
