The Haunting of Vancouver Island
Author: Shanon Sinn
Publisher: TouchWood Editions
ISBN: 177151244X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
A compelling investigation into supernatural events and local lore on Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island is known worldwide for its arresting natural beauty, but those who live here know that it is also imbued with a palpable supernatural energy. Researcher Shanon Sinn found his curiosity piqued by stories of mysterious sightings on the island—ghosts, sasquatches, sea serpents—but he was disappointed in the sensational and sometimes disrespectful way they were being retold or revised. Acting on his desire to transform these stories from unsubstantiated gossip to thoroughly researched accounts, Sinn uncovered fascinating details, identified historical inconsistencies, and now retells these encounters as accurately as possible. Investigating 25 spellbinding tales that wind their way from the south end of the island to the north, Sinn explored hauntings in cities, in the forest, and on isolated logging roads. In addition to visiting castles, inns, and cemeteries, he followed the trail of spirits glimpsed on mountaintops, beaches, and water, and visited Heriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island and the Schooner Restaurant in Tofino to personally scrutinize reports of hauntings. Featuring First Nations stories from each of the three Indigenous groups who call Vancouver Island home—the Coast Salish, the Nuu-chah-nulth, and the Kwakwaka’wakw—the book includes an interview with Hereditary Chief James Swan of Ahousaht.

A dead man at a crossroads. A secret message. A ring with a warning about death . . . Printer’s apprentice Lucy Campion is caught up in a strange and puzzling murder case in this twisty historical mystery set in seventeenth-century London. London, 1667.

Book Description
When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. But what do you do when it hands you ghost pirates? I had my whole life planned out--until, that is, my husband of twenty-eight years dropped a bombshell on me. At a mall food court, no less. Now that I'm going through a decidedly unplanned divorce, the one place I want to be is my family's theme park in Gallows Bay. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not the happiest place on Earth (TM). But it does have something special that sets it apart: Magic. Real. Magic. Okay, so my life is no longer going according to plan. I have to figure out this magic stuff, all while licking my wounds, reconnecting with old friends, dealing with a resentful stepsister, and pulling the occasional housekeeping shift at the park. And that's all before I accidentally summon the ghost of an eighteenth-century pirate hunter with a healthy fear of women's ankles. I've got a lot on my plate, and I've got to figure everything out fast because someone is sabotaging my family's theme park. And if they succeed, a long-dead pirate may finally get the vengeance he's been waiting for... It's a Plunderful Life is the first book in the Gallows Bay Series, for people who believe in new beginnings, the power of female friendships, and the wisdom that comes with growing older.
