The Amhurst Haunting
Translated: In this cuddly farmhouse in Nova Scotia, poltergeist Bob Nickle (or Nichol or Nikkel) made Esther Cox’s life quite miserable. Bob managed to manifest after Esther had a traumatic experience with her ex-boyfriend. Who Bob was during his lifetime has never really become clear, except that he was a shoemaker and often wore a hat. Nobody knows why he had to have Esther.
The Grey Lady Of The Citadel
Of course there is always a tragic love story. The Grey Lady is believed to haunt the Halifax Citadel after finding out her fiancé (a soldier stationed there) had committed suicide. The Grey Lady now reportedly walks the grounds of the citadel searching for her fiancé. The smell of roses is said to follow her.
The Ghost Of Peggy’s Cove
It’s believed Peggy’s Cove is haunted by a woman named Margaret. After an awful accident she lost her children and spent her days and evenings walking the dangerous rocks of the Cove, grieving their loss. One day, in an attempt to cheer her up, Margaret’s husband made his way out to the rocks to perform a dance. Tragically, he slipped and fell to his death. With the loss to much to bare, Margaret jumped into the ocean, taking her own life, but she never really left Peggy’s Cove. To this day, visitors report seeing a distraught woman in a blue dress, standing on the rocks above the ocean. When they get too close, she jumps and disappears.
