Nova Scotia - Caledonia
Mills - The Mary Ellen Spook House - In
the early 1900's, a family who lived outside of Antigonish Nova Scotia
adopted a young woman named Mary Ellen. Once this child was taken home,
strange things began to happen. Fires began to light themselves around
the farms with no apparent cause. The local authorities were called and
after some intense investigation, it was assumed that the newest member
of the family was setting these fires. However, in many cases, Mary
Ellen was not present on the farm when the fires were set. In addition
to the fires, a strange dog began to be seen around the house. Not only
outside, but also once the grandmother of the family woke up and this
large, hulking dog was sitting at her beside. The grandmother got a
terrible fright and cursed the dog in the name of the Lord. Details get
fuzzy on this point, but it was 'felt' that the dog was the devil, or
another demonic spirit. After this incident, other strange things began
to happen. The usual 'disembodied footsteps', doors opening and
shutting by themselves voices, and of course the fires. After the
police were at a loss for an explanation, the local Priest was called.
He came and conducted an extensive investigation with a famous
parapsychologist. These investigations were done with the whole family,
and a 'ghost writer' was used. A man or woman who permitted the ghost
to contact the family by the use of pen and pencil. The message that
the ghost left was very dark and nasty. Eventually, the family moved
out and the house burned to the ground. There have been several
documented cases of people who have traveled to the Spook House who
have taken a shingle or a piece of wood back from the farm. Reportedly,
fires broke out in the homes of those who stole the wood, and persisted
until the artifact was either returned or ceremoniously buried.

until he found him looking over the balcony. They talked for a while
until the man's friend went away. So the man who had the wife said he
was going to get a drink at the bar. He came back to his room and found
his friend in bed with his wife so he shot them both and jumped off the
balcony, killing himself. One year after the murders someone reported
hearing gunshots and a man jumping off the balcony. The whole hotel was
searched and nothing was found. After that no one could stay in the
room because in the middle of the nigh the beds would fly up in the air
