About The Episode:
In this episode, we’re embracing the creepy October vibes with two tales of ghosts — each with their own brand of unfinished business to see through. Both are said to have ocurred in late nineteenth-century Newfoundland.
The first is set in the communities of Savage Cove and Port au Choix on the island’s Great Northern Peninsula. It concerns a a dead man who may not have been quite as finished with living as everyone thought.
The second concerns a newspaper report from Torbay on the island’s Avalon Peninsula. The headline reads “Fearful Doings of a Ghost”
