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.
St. Louis, Saskatchewan, is home to the St. Louis Light, also known as the St. Louis Ghost Train. For over 80 years, on a stretch of abandoned rail north of town, some have witnessed a glowing light believed to be the spectre of a long dead Canadian National Railway (CNR) conductor who literally lost his head in the 1920s to a passing train.
