Can we ever really know for sure that ghosts exist? A good researcher carries a reasonable dose of skepticism, but not cynicism. Maybe all that should be asked is to be open to the possibility. Folklore, according to Webster's Dictionary is traditional customs, tales, saying is, and dance of art forms preserved among the people. One of the most common types of folklore is the ghost story, and Maritime Canada, famous for its folklore has no shortage of ghost stories. Some of the most common ghost stories in Maritime Canada will include forerunners, which is a sign that precedes an event, most commonly a death. Or a poltergeist, which is a noisy, usually mischievous ghost that is held responsible for unexplained noises such as knocks on the door or wall. You will also find the unsettled spirit, someone who has passed, leaving unfinished business in this world.
When reading these tales, keep in mind that folklore is most often passed down from generation to generation, in story form, which in the past was a common source of entertainment. Take these stories for what they are and enjoy them.
