2016 - 25¢ - Haunted Canada: Bell Island

On Newfoundland and Labrador's Bell Island, a restless female spirit is said to haunt the marshes near Dobbin's Garden. She appears in two forms: one, as a beautiful woman dressed in white; the other, as a frightening old woman. Men who have dared to walk through the area have gone missing for days, only to emerge unaware of any passage of time. But what they do remember is the sudden apparition of a grotesque old woman moving toward them, pushing them to the ground, while the smell of death hangs in the air.
