General Description : | Illustration by Sam Weber, C.H.J. Snider / Archives of Ontario Photography: Peter Bregg Gum Type: PVA A fearsome fiction is one thing – but when the eerie story is based on accounts of real people who swear they’ve felt, heard or even seen a ghost – the supernatural is sensational! We’re unleashing this spine-tingling series of five tales told across this land, with an Official First Day Cover cancelled in Gorrie, Ontario. Built between 1796 and 1799 and now a popular tourist site, Fort George at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, was key to British defenses and served as British Army headquarters during the War of 1812. A young soldier is said to haunt the top floor of the barracks, and there are tales of a spirited little girl who was once bold enough to take the hand of a tour guide. |
