Local Legends

Just about every community in Newfoundland has a ghost story or legend. Two the most well known ones from home are the Ghost Ship of Hodges Cove, and the Wheel Chair lady of Spirits Hill.

Spirits hill is located between two communities and there are no street lights, and there is a cemetery there. The story goes that a old lady rolls around in her rusty wheel chair with long white hair and blood over her face, because of the darkness you can only hear the squeaking of the wheels and moaning of her voice, I haven't heard either.

The Ghost Ship of Hodges Cove is just a ship that comes into the cove every Halloween, but a few friends and I used a ouija broad in the area for fun Halloween night and saw a white long-liner come into the cove, we did not think much of it until it turned around a left. The boat looked real enough, but we grinned and said "maybe it was the ghost ship!"

Jam it back in, in the dark.
