The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is rich with tales of ghost ships, mysterious lights, sinister spectres, tokens of impending death, headless pirates, and murdered loves. From legends of phantom loggers to stories of possessed teapots, Haunted Shores: True Ghost Stories of Newfoundland and Labrador is an eerie exploration of the phantom-filled nooks and crannies of the province. Why does a mournful lady ghost return to Arnold's Cove every November? Do ghostly submarines still sail the waters of Trinity Bay? What is the most haunted street in St. John's? Drawn from both archival sources and first-hand accounts, the stories herein weave together anecdote, oral tradition, history and folklore to form a rich tapestry depicting a rarely explored side of Newfoundland and Labrador. Read the book, if you dare . . .

Book excerpt: This book is the first full-length volume to offer acomprehensive introduction to the English spoken in Britain's oldestoverseas colony, and, since 1949, Canada's youngest province. Within NorthAmerica, Newfoundland and Labrador English is a highly distinctive speechvariety. It is known for its generally conservative nature, having retainedclose ties with its primary linguistic roots, the traditional speech ofsouthwestern England and southern Ireland.

This book was released on 2019-02-10 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geraldine Ryan-Lush strikes again, in this, her latest offering of ghost tales, quickly being hailed as some of her most deliciously shivery work yet, in this amazing collection of true ghost stories from across Newfoundland! A busy, industrial production plant in Pleasantville, NL, once used as a morgue in WW2, is home to resident apparitions of soldiers, and poltergeist activity on a regular basis, leaving workers numb with terror, who dare not report the hauntings, for fear of reprisal. Who IS the girl on the road in Maddox Cove, who entices unsuspecting drivers to her aid, only to leave them paralysed with fear? A hobby period- photography enthusiast buys an impressive 1900 portrait of children in a Water Street antique shop, only to discover the genteel children from another century are anything but rested in their new abode. Terror awaits! And it's not only in the film "Psycho" does one stay in an Inn which mysteriously has no other guests. Try Twillingate! From cell phones that are possessed, to a dead taxi driver who can't leave his cabbie, to Crisis Apparitions from London, England, to a skeptical Conception Bay police officer's trauma, the many stories in this collection will tantalize, terrorize, bewilder, and defy truth. But amazingly, they ARE TRUE, and delectably served up by one of Newfoundland's most prolific authors, who has already proven herself master of the paranormal genre, with her best-selling and shivers galore "Hannigan's Hand" books, constantly in the same company as James Patterson and Stephen King! Utilizing substantive, orally-rendered encounters, and pepperings of historical research as perspective, the author theorizes, mesmerizes and holds you spellbound. Settle back and enjoy the ride, but make sure you have company in the next room. You just may need them!

Download or read book Haunting Experiences written by Diane Goldstein and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.

Download or read book The Haunting of Vancouver Island written by Shanon Sinn and published by TouchWood Editions. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling investigation into supernatural events and local lore on Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island is known worldwide for its arresting natural beauty, but those who live here know that it is also imbued with a palpable supernatural energy. Researcher Shanon Sinn found his curiosity piqued by stories of mysterious sightings on the island—ghosts, sasquatches, sea serpents—but he was disappointed in the sensational and sometimes disrespectful way they were being retold or revised. Acting on his desire to transform these stories from unsubstantiated gossip to thoroughly researched accounts, Sinn uncovered fascinating details, identified historical inconsistencies, and now retells these encounters as accurately as possible. Investigating 25 spellbinding tales that wind their way from the south end of the island to the north, Sinn explored hauntings in cities, in the forest, and on isolated logging roads. In addition to visiting castles, inns, and cemeteries, he followed the trail of spirits glimpsed on mountaintops, beaches, and water, and visited Heriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island and the Schooner Restaurant in Tofino to personally scrutinize reports of hauntings. Featuring First Nations stories from each of the three Indigenous groups who call Vancouver Island home—the Coast Salish, the Nuu-chah-nulth, and the Kwakwaka’wakw—the book includes an interview with Hereditary Chief James Swan of Ahousaht.
