Mysteries of Ontario | Free Book
Mysteries of Ontario brings together, for the first time, some five
hundred accounts of strange events and eerie experiences, each keyed
to one of 250 places in the province. It turns out that, far from
being a humdrum part of the planet in which to live and work,
Ontario is a province that is alive with ghosts and spirits,
mysterious disappearances, and peculiar happenings enough to make
your hair stand on end, turn your blood cold, and send shivers up
and down your spine!
John Robert Colombo has been
collecting materials for this book since 1967. Even so, more than
two years were devoted to researching, writing, copy-editing, and
photo editing Mysteries of Ontario. The reader is invited to peruse
the great historical mysteries that have moved Canadians in the past
from LaSalle's missing Griffon to the peculiar disappearance of
Ambrose Small, from the spiritualistic legacy of the Fox Sisters of
Consecon to the appearance in the 1990s of "ghost walks," "haunted
hayrides," and "boo barns." This is a book that unites folklore and
scholarship, the supernatural and the speculative, culture and
mysticism, the occult and the peculiar, the psychical and the
cultural, the human and the non-human.
In The Press
"A fascinating book, whether for sitting around a summer night's campfire, or for the cold and dark of a winter night."
