Swathed in mist, surrounded by the secretive sea, wind wailing like the lost souls of sailors around its shores, Prince Edward Island is the ideal setting for the strange and incredible, even the supernatural. Islanders have handed down, from one generation to the next, many legends and ghost stories: tales of visiting spirits, buried pirate treasure, sea serpents, and ghostly apparitions. As strange as most of these stories are, who dares to doubt the veracity of the sailors who met a phantom schooner, the fishermen who fled a sea monster, or the countless Islanders who have dug for pirate gold, only to be terrified by something uncanny and abandon their search? Curl up on a dark night with this newly expanded second edition and find yourself transported to the magical and mysterious Prince Edward Island.
