us. Nobody, to anybody's knowledge. But when we went to dig a cement sewer out here, they came across a rock wall. And they dug down about 4 or 6 feet, and here's this solid rock wall, all the way down. Joanne: Layers. Ella: Layers, just like you took bricks, eh? Joanne; And laid them on top. Ella: But it's a wall, like a built wall. So David wanted to--but Fred? die was there digging by hand--and David wanted to go, see how far the wall would go, but Freddie never let him. And Joanne used to say there's people--she could hear a woman cry. Joanne used to hear stuff in there. Well, Charlie came down here. She moved in Charlie's room af? ter he left home. And he was down here lobster fishing a few years, and he was sleeping here. "No damn wonder Joanne doesn't want to sleep in there." And he said he used to hear somebody crying. But I told him it's the willow tree out there. 'Cause I've heard a cry, too, but I just thought it was the willow tree weeping at night. But it's strange you don't hear it in daytime. Joanne: I'll tell you something that hap? pened to me. I was a little kid, and no? body was around. And it was a beautiful day out--I was out skipping on the road. Everything stopped. Do you know what I mean? Like everything stopped. The birds stopped chirping, everything. And I could hear like, (Joanne sings.) "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah." Like something singing. Singing. And I was out skipping, and everything stopped. Like there were no dogs barking or anything. And it was right out here on the highway. Skipping. And everything stopped, and I could hear like--like an- gels, it was like angels or something. And Museum of Cape Breton Heritage North3ast Margaree on the Cabot Trail Inverness Co., Cape Breton, N.

Maclsaac, Manager RELAX IN THE BEAUTIFUL MARGAREE VALLEY it just stopped. And I was out there. And I just stopped. And I listened, you know. But every? thing stopped. And then it just went right on back, and like the birds started chirping. It was like time stood still, just for a second. Do you know what I mean? And I could hear, like, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, " like this, in the air. That's something that happened to me. I got a scare over that, too.... But things like that'd happen. Even now, when I'm talking about them, I shake. I shake inside be? cause they--like, I'm shaking now, and my whole body is shaking, just thinking about some of the things like this. It scared me--I wouldn't be able to.... I would never be a person --like, they say people can talk to spirits. I wouldn't have enough nerve. Like, it's too scary. It just happens to me, and it's just too scary. I wish it away. You know, it's like--"Go away, go away."... Remember the house down in South Har? bour? Ella: Yes.
