In 1987, Burnaby Art Gallery director and Halloween party pooper Ted Lindberg set out to prove the Ceperley Mansion, a.k.a. Fairacres wasn't haunted.
If it had been up to former director Ted Lindberg, the legends that surface every Halloween about the Burnaby Art Gallery being haunted would have died in 1987.
The building has had a colourful history, housing a couple well-to-do families, a Catholic seminary, a cult and a frat house in its time.Gallery staff reported mysterious sights and happenings that couldn’t be explained: the sound of rustling silk and crying children, sudden cold breezes, a scent of perfume or a figure in a white dress drifting from room to room.“I’ve never heard or seen anything untoward,” he told the NOW in a November 1987 article.
