There are gases in mines, does that make you a little suspicious about stories that come from miners and whatever they might see, or think they see, deep underground?
Sailors and miners tend to be very superstitious people, working in risky places so deep underground or so far away floating on top of such deep water. It's no surprise they come up with stories. Some people just like to scare each other too. See what they can get started... So do you believe everything you hear from miners, or sailors?
You won't find a lot written or reported about the paranormal in Canada. Canadians just don't talk about it all that much. Almost seems to be a secret from the rest of the world.
But, Canada has a dark past, hidden history and things that go bump in the night.
Canadians have not always been so polite and quiet as they appear. You can hide a lot in the frozen tundra, the endless forests, islands and the long stretches of roads between small towns and the odd big city.
The Haunted Canada Collection is available at Canada Post this year (the collection came out Friday, June, 13, 2014).
