Canadian Legends & Monsters: The Great Amherst Mystery – ParaGhoul Paranormal: Discoveries from the Dark
In this episode, we are returning to the Canadian Legends and Monsters theme before we wrap up season 1. Have you ever wondered about whether there have been incidents of poltergeist activity within Canada?
Although we might not have as many stories of intense poltergeist activity as the United States or even Europe, that doesn’t mean it never happens. So I found a story from the late 1800s that takes place in Nova Scotia, where a young woman was plagued with supposedly poltergeist activity or possible possession after a tragic event. So turn down the lights and come with me to 1878 in Amherst, Nova Scotia.
