The Dungarvon Whooper: Lumberjacks returned from work one day to discover their young cook dead and his money belt missing. The cook was quickly buried as a snowstorm blew.

The Lady in White: Hidden in the roar of Montmorency Falls are the cries of La Dame Blanche (the Lady in White) calling out for her lost love.

The Phantom Bell Ringers: This is a group of spirits died in a shipwreck. Every now and then the residents can hear the clanging of a ship’s bell.

The visitors of Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre witness a woman dressed in an Edwardian dress. Her appearance stops all the chores around her and the seats flip down and up on their own as if they were occupied by someone.
