Cape Breton’s Magazine has been collecting Ghost Stories for over 25 years. Sometimes they were searched for directly, but often they simply came up in conversation—because ghost stories have been a large part of the Cape Breton story.

The goal of this project is to search the magazine for ghost stories, Words for the Crossword puzzle will be found in the stories. In the end, you may want to write a paragraph about ghost stories, asking yourself—Why do people tell Ghost Stories? Do you like to read them? Does it always matter whether or not the story is true?
