Esther Cox is real. The mystery is still unsolved. I'm going to buy the book by Laurie Glenn Norris to read her version of the story.
In 1878 eighteen-year-old Esther Cox arrived in Amherst, Nova Scotia, to live with her sister’s family. Shortly after Esther moved in, the story goes, the house was plagued by unexplained occurrences—something (or someone) knocked on the walls, hid household items, moved furniture around, and set fires. Esther herself was subject to mysterious fevers, prodding and, on one occasion, stabbing. These occurrences followed her when she went to stay with other families in the area. Eventually she was charged with robbery and spent a month in jail, after which the haunting ceased.
Was Esther the victim of paranormal powers or the troubled mind behind a series of elaborate hoaxes? At the time of her alleged haunting, the plausibility of Esther Cox’s claims were hotly debated in newspapers and by fellow Amherst residents. In the hundred years since her death, Esther’s story has been retold numerous times and she remains to this day the town’s most famous historical figure.
Promotion for the book - Haunted Girl: Esther Cox and the Great Amherst Mystery by Laurie Glenn Norris
Moni Edwards has a series of books about haunted Canada. All for kindle/ e-readers so I haven't seen them, other than the promotional ads on Amazon. So far she has books for Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick.
The preview for her book about Ontario sounds good. But, I never get around to reading any of the books I've downloaded for the e-reader. I forget what mine is even called now. My brother got it for me many Christmases ago, thinking I would get rid of, or not buy, printed books. Hasn't worked so far.
