The haunting of Vancouver Island : supernatural encounters with the other side / Shanon Sinn.
World renowned for its arresting natural beauty, Vancouver Island is understood by its inhabitants to be imbued with a palpable supernatural energy. Intrigued by tales of the island's mysterious phenomena, researcher Shanon Sinn sought to transform these legends from dubious gossip to well-researched accounts. After uncovering fascinating details and historical inconsistencies, Sinn now presents the narratives in a new way, elevating the standard for credibility and accuracy. Both popular and obscure, these stories come together to create a treasure trove of local lore, including: The April Bride in Victoria, The Valencia Phantom Ship at Pachena Point and The Ahousaht Witch.
