Alongside its golden wheat fields and shimmering northern
laskes, Saskatchewan holds a rich folkloric collection of ghost
stories; until now, no one has paid much atention to these
tales.
Geographically, they range from Kenosee Lake, where the resident
ghost of a local dance hall had strong objections to renovations,
to Shell Lake, where the identity of a mass-murderer was revealed
to a group of teenagers through a Ouija board.
In nature, they vary from charming spirits haunting a community
arts centre to the menacing presence that drove a Rockglen family
to burn their home to the ground.
This eerie collection showcases Saskatchewan's most intriguing
ghost stories: accounts of misty apparitions, unexplained noises,
violent poltergeists, and startling premonitions. Together, the
stories create a fascinating addition to the province's colourful
history and disprove the notion that for there to be ghosts, there
must be traditional old world settings. Saskatchewan's spirits
haunt its weathered prairie farm homes and nondescript suburban
bungalows, its overgrown cemeteries and tidy small-town churches,
its hospitals and museums, and its very landscape.
It's proven in these pages: you needn't look far to find a ghost
in the haunted province of Saskatchewan
