Ian Gibbs was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to Canada when he was young. He has a passion for history and the paranormal, and has always been fascinated by storytelling, ghosts, and hauntings. He lived in several city centres across the country before settling in Victoria—arguably one of the most haunted places in Canada—where he acts as a guide for Victoria’s popular Ghostly Walks tours. He is the creator and host of the podcast Ghosts ’n Bears, and author of Victoria’s Most Haunted: Ghost Stories of BC’s Historic Capital City and Vancouver’s Most Haunted: Supernatural Encounters in BC’s Terminal City.
A concise look at places both familiar and not. Gibbs has the Sixth
Sense . . . [and he] recounts recent activities and his brushes
with the occult world with a narrative style that's easy to
visualize.-- (05/07/2017)
A well-told ghost story is always a treat, and Ian Gibbs is a
master storyteller. Ian's debut collection is a terrific addition
to the ghost story genre; clearly the paranormal is in this man's
blood. Victoria's Most Haunted is chock full of spooky,
thought-provoking tales that take the reader on a tour through time
and place to a side of Victoria known by few, offering us a glimpse
of the city just beyond the veil. Ranging from poignant to
downright scary, these accounts will cast your perspective of staid
old Victoria in an entirely new light.-- (02/01/2017)
Victoria BC is often referred to as 'charming' or 'idyllic' with
its breathtaking ocean views and beautiful gardens, but after
spending a bit of time with Ian Gibbs readers will be adding
'chilling' and 'haunted' to that list of descriptions. Victoria's
Most Haunted is an unsettling tour of the capital city and even you
are not a believer in the paranormal you will likely find yourself
peering over your shoulder next time you wander through Fan Tan
Alley, Pioneer Square or any of the other landmarks with an
overlooked grisly past.-- (08/02/2017)
