We received the following report in August 2009. It details what may have been some sort of time slip involving the hotel.
"My husband and I were at the Banff Springs Hotel a few years ago and he wanted to show me this really strange hallway he and a friend found about 7 years ago (before he and I met). We searched for this hallway for hours and even asked about it and were told that there was nothing like it. He said it was very narrow with lower ceilings than the rest of the hallways and the doors were shorter and looked a lot older that the rest of the hotel. The handles on the doors were older he said. Later on another visit, he found the door that led him to this hallway, but the hallway was normal just like the rest of the hotel. We think he may have walked through what would have been the old hotel hallways before the 1926 fire. I haven't heard of this experience before as I looked all over to see if something similar was documented. But both he and his friend both claim to have experienced it together. I'm sharing this story more than anything to find out if there has been any other documentations of this sort of experience at the Banff Springs Hotel."
Our thanks to the writer for sharing her husband's experience with us. We very much appreciate it.
The above sounds very similar to reports of time slips. One of the best-known, and earliest, examples of a time slip was reported by two English women, Charlotte Anne Moberly (16 September 1846 - 7 May 1937) and Eleanor Jourdain (1863–1924), the principal and vice-principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford, who believed they slipped back in time in the gardens of the Petit Trianon at Versailles from the summer of 1901 to the period of the French Revolution.
