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.
