Ghost Stores – how true are they?
Although the stories of women are scarce, there is an unlimited supply of ghost stories for the Maritime Provinces. They comprise a collection of forerunners, apparitions, and other-worldly events. Forerunners foretell a death. They include:
- three knocks on the door with no one outside
- visions of a relative seen in the night
- ghostly figures following you on the road
- non-existent figures are seen in a rear-view mirror
- footsteps heard on the stairs with no one there
- footprints are seen on a floor where no one has walked
- the sound of a vehicle arriving but no one is there
Usually, forerunners are followed by the death of a family member or friend often before that person has reached a ripe old age.
For two real ghost stories of this generation, told to me by a reliable source, visit my blog on A Plethora of Ghosts
Stories of ghostly events and their outcomes are available in many books.
(The Books are linked to Amazon.ca if you would like the book.)
I've also shivered to the Ghost Stories of authors like Vernon Oickle.
Ghost stories are always interesting. In the small town where I live across the river from where the writer of such stories as Ichabod Crane, there are two ghosts. Rhe footsteps on a woman running down the street and the sea captain who sometimes appears in another house. Good luck with your stories
