Nova Scotia Ghosts

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.)

 The most famous eastern story collector is Helen Creighton whose books, Bluenose Ghosts, are well known.

 I've also shivered to the Ghost Stories of authors like Vernon Oickle.
