A fearsome fiction is one thing – but when the eerie story is based on accounts of real people who swear they’ve felt, heard or even seen a ghost – the supernatural is sensational! We’re unleashing this spine-tingling series of five tales told across this land, with an Official First Day Cover cancelled in Gorrie, Ontario.
The Northumberland Strait flows between Prince Edward Island to the north and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to the south. A site of many shipwrecks, the strait is a watery grave for legions of seafarers. For at least the past 200 years, those nearby claimed to have seen a burning ship, and onlookers attempting a rescue have approached the vessel only to see it vanish in the mist.
