lieve that I saw the lights myself one time, coming down there. I probably was lit, myself! But, anyway, the lights were visible. This is fact, this is not just hearsay at all. Sandy Aucoin from Cheticamp--he'd be Ethel MacLeod, the nurse's, father. He was com? ing down there and he was driving--he al? ways drove a beautiful car--he was driving a big Buick, a big Buick touring car with soft top. And he, making this turn, he went over the bank and he was killed. They found his body probably hours afterwards. But I remember he was a very handsome- looking man and people began to say, "Now, this is where we were seeing all the lights, and the lights coming this far." But the strangest thing about it was that Sandy was buried--and the lights were still appearing. And a year or so after? wards, wasn't his brother, Charlie Aucoin, was coming down--he was also a merchant-- and in the same spot where his brother was killed, he went over and he was killed. And after the second accident--and these are real and I remember the way they hap? pened- -after the second accident there was never another light seen. Now, that is a typical forerunner. And it's typical of the fact that if a person could read what was coming, that could be preventable. If we could read into the future somebody could go tell Charlie Aucoin or any? body else, "Watch this turn, something's going to happen to you there." It's a little bit of hindsight, but it's the type of thing that prob? ably could be prevented if there was sufficient warning in time. But the strange thing about it is that the two brothers were killed in exactly the same spot within a couple of years of each other. And after the second brother was killed there was never another light seen.
