Description
Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Do you think someone is watching you even though no one is there? Do doors and windows open and close on their own? If you’ve answered yes to even one of these questions, then join veteran ghost story teller Vernon Oickle as he brings to life some of Nova Scotia’s most intriguing tales of suspense in this collection of ghost stories.
FRIGHTENING
With his new book, master storyteller Vernon Oickle treats us to another volume of frightening stories to keep the chill in our hearts even on the hottest of days. Oickle has been a significant chronicler of the long and rich Nova Scotia heritage of the supernatural and this volume is sure to be an important contribution to that tradition.
— Darryll Walsh, acclaimed ghost hunter and author of Legends and Monsters of Atlantic Canada
KNOWS HIS STUFF
If I want to talk to someone about my health, then I want to talk to my doctor. If I want to talk to someone about the state of my house's plumbing, then I talk to my plumber. If I want to talk to someone about the ghost stories of Nova Scotia — then I want to talk to Vernon Oickle. The man knows his stuff.
— Steve Vernon, storyteller and author of Haunted Harbours
