It has been called Canada's most haunted province.
While such a claim is impossible to prove, British Columbia does
abound with tales of the supernatural. Ghost Stories of British
Columbia is a comprehensive collection of these tales, drawing from
the province's history, its archives, and its people.
There are ghosts from the distant past, and ghosts from the
present day. Legends that are familiar to many, and accounts that,
to date, have only been heard by a few. Shady apparitions from the
coastline, the interior, and the isolated north. And each story is
a true account of someone's experience with a ghost.
In Burnaby, a young child is repeatedly urged by two spectral
visitors to follow them back "to the other side."
The dedicated publisher of the Surrey Leader returns to check on
the new issue - weeks after his death.
The image of a screaming young woman haunts a grove of bushes in
Beacon Hill Park - years before a woman matching the image is
murdered there.
Barkerville - a town designed to bring the history of the gold
rush to life - truly hosts the "spirit" of the past.
Victoria honours its British past - with two of its own haunted
castles.
In Creston - an eccentric stonemason's spirit occupies the
unusual home he once planned to be buried in.
They are the mysteries, the unexplained, the eerie, and amazing
stories meant to be told by campfire or candlelight.
They are the true ghost stories of British Columbia, and they
wait for you in these pages.
