Funny you should mention Kamloops, British Columbia.

A cargo ship named after the town mysteriously disappeared in Lake Superior
about 30 years ago. All aboard were killed, and the wreckage was not found
until about 3 years ago.

One of my favorites (someone else already mentioned Spuzzum) is
Wonowon, pronounced "One-Oh-One".  It's a little town at mile marker 101 
on the Alaska Highway.
