The Ghost Rider
Gaze up at the face of Mount Hosmer on a summer evening to see the shadow of 'The Ghost Rider'. Local legend states the shadow is that of an Indian princess who rides on horseback as her father the Chief leads the horse. The Chief put a curse on the community of Fernie when William Fernie, the town's namesake, refused to marry the princess as promised in exchange for information about local coal deposits. The Ghost Rider is said to be a reminder of the tragic disasters in the Fernie area.
