Ghosts guarding buried treasure, phantom ships, haunted houses and supernatural warnings of death- these are just some of the strange and mysterious phenomena that you will encounter in Bluenose... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is a must read for anyone interested in ghost stories. Unlike the other ghost books that I've read, this one really seems to have some legitimacy. The author is was a respected folklorist who documented and recorded songs and stories from Nova Scotia, and would come across these stories during the course of her interviews. Although there is always the likelihood that the story-teller could have been unwittingly relating tall-tales, there is much to suggest that the majority of these stories are indeed authentic.
Spooky....

Ms Creighton did a very good job presenting the folklore of NS in a way that is very appealing, easy to read, and enjoyable.Being a NS native, it is very nice to see especially the smaller localities noted. This has been a favourite book of mine since childhood.
