"Anyone else dying to visit these spooky-named Canadian places?" Statistics Canada asked in its post. 

"Hell's Gate isn't on here?!" one user wrote, referring to the river passage within B.C.'s Fraser River. 

"Dead Man's Flats in Alberta," another said, a small region southeast of Canmore. 

Another area mentioned was Axe Lake, although they may have been referring to either the body of water near Parry Sound, Ont., or the small lake located in south-central B.C.
