Cape Breton's Magazine

bia University and it's his brother who| told me. Now, if some of the largest universities in the world are making this study of psychic study and the spirit world, there must be something in it or they wouldn't be.... You wouldn't see so many intelligent people carefully studying these things. I was asked different times about this. I was asked by some people a lot more in? telligent than I was about this, Why did I believe? I can't find it in my heart to deny. I'm not saying that I have any terrific personal experiences, but if you depend on and listen to the truth of people who are really intelligent and they have gone through experiences like that, you just can't help but believe. Now, there are many, many other in? stances of people. We had a bus driver at Margaree--this is not Cape Breton folklore, this is just--it's part of it. We had a bus driver at Margaree Forks and I will not give you his name but I think when I told you that he was called "The Friendly Giant" you'll know who I mean.

There's a ridge of hills at Southwest Margaree and he could cross the hill to this place. It was probably, by walking across the hill, it would be a mile, a mile-and-a-half. And the idea was that he was working all day and then dressed up and started across the hill and it was dusk.

He spoke to him, he got terrified but he spoke to the man and he asked him, "I thought you were dead." And he said, "I am, but I took my life before my time. And until my time comes that I would normally die, my spirit will roam these hills." There are many types of forerunners. Your Take A Vacation From High Rates.
