Summary: The further you go from Charlotte Town. the more primitive and hospitable the people become; they warmly welcome a stranger. and seem happy. moral. and contented. This island is the only place in the New World where I met with any who believed in the supernatural. One evening I had been telling some very harmless ghost stories to a party by moonlight. and one of my auditors. a very clever girl. fancied during the night that she saw something stirring in her bed-room. In the idea that the ghost would attack her head rather than her feet. she tied up her feet in her bonnet- de-nuit. put them upon the pillow. and her head under the quilt--a novel way of cheating a spiritual visitant.ISBN: 3829058047.
