Tracks, Trails and Forgotten Tales | Episode: 5
Step back into the dark side of the Cariboo Gold Rush with the chilling story of the 108 Mile Murders. Known as the “Hotel from Hell,” this notorious roadhouse along the Cariboo Wagon Road was said to be the site of theft, kidnapping, and the brutal murders of more than 50 unsuspecting miners lured in for their gold.
In this episode of Tracks, Trails & Forgotten Tales, we take you to 108 Mile House, BC, where we explore the old heritage buildings, uncover stories from the book Hotel From Hell that I picked up at the site, and retrace the history that still haunts this Gold Rush stop.
Our adventure doesn’t stop there—we also share our camping experience in Likely, BC, a historic mining town with outdoor displays and a stunning lakeside campsite, bringing both the beauty and the darker history of the Cariboo to life.
If you’re fascinated by Canadian history, true crime, ghost towns, or the Gold Rush era, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
