INTRODUCTION

      Miss Seward (with an incredulous smile): “What, Sir! about a ghost?”

      Johnson (with solemn vehemence): “Yes, Madam: this is a question which, after five thousand years, is yet undecided; a question, whether in theology or philosophy, one of the most important that can come before the human understanding.”

      — James Boswell, quoting Dr. Samuel Johnson on

      April 15, 1778, The Life of Samuel Johnson (1791)

      Did you ever wonder whether the place where you are now dwelling is haunted?

      Here is a big book about such matters, about ghosts and hauntings, a book that is calculated to make you pause and wonder about the world of spirits, about haunted sites and places, and about the interconnections that may exist between the world of the living and the world of the dead or unborn. The accounts in this tome raise questions about the extent and limit of human knowledge and the reliability of human experience. In many ways it is an entertaining book; in other ways, a sobering collection of riveting accounts of “what should not be.” In other words, here are one hundred or so of what I call “Canadian mysteries.”
