Haunted Harbours
“He was a bit of a wild man and taught me that a writer shouldn’t feel shackled by the chains of conventionality. One of my fondest memories was of him walking into class with a stick of high explosive and placing it on his desk.
“Sometimes,” he said to the class, “a writer needs to use dynamite.”
Of course, no English students were harmed in the making of this anecdote.
The dynamite was a dud.
I hope you’ll find this story isn’t.
The shores of Nova Scotia are riddled with caves, the most famous... being The Ovens sea caves of Riverport, Lunenburg County. Every year thousands of tourists make the climb down to view these spectacular rock formations and listen to the waves echoing their long lonely song.
If you happen to travel to Parrsboro, the folk there will be glad to tell you about the mystery of the Maiden’s Cave, where the ghost of a young woman weeps and moans to this very day.
You’ll find Parrsboro on the northern shore of the Minas Basin. It was named in the year 1784 in honour of Admiral John Parr, who was Governor General of Nova Scotia at the time.MoreLess
