Synopsis: Legends and lore from Canada&’s rugged Maritime provinces, shrouded in the mists of the Atlantic Ocean . . . From the host of TV&’s Maritime Mysteries, this book includes forty of the best stories collected from around the Maritimes. Using his journalist&’s skills, Bill Jessome weaves incredible stories that both charm us and chill us. The region including Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick has an extensive storytelling tradition and a large part of that lexicon consists of tales of the supernatural. Many of these stories are passed down over the generations, and Jessome has acquired dozens of haunting accounts by listening to Maritimers at the kitchen table, around the flickering campfire, and when the moon is full.
