      Spooky seaside stories of Canada’s Atlantic coast from the longtime host of the television series Maritime Mysteries.

In this new edition of the classic book, Bill Jessome, author of Stories That Haunt Us, brings together over eighty of the region’s most spine-tingling tales—both old and new—that put a chilling spin on the rich history of these jagged seacoasts.
