Ghosts are a fascinating subject, as you will read more about on this page today. The image above has been enhanced for clarity and was photographed in July 1998 from an upstairs bathroom window in our former home in College Park, Georgia. The schematic diagram below shows the third story where all the events described occurred during that summer of 1973. The recent sighting is also noted. Presently we are in contact with a woman who knew the sea captain who's spirit returned with us from Nova Scotia. Please read on to learn the whole story.
August 1973, during a trip to Nova Scotia, we were visiting friends and had been given the chance to bring back some antiques that once belonged to a local fisherman who had died around 1963 under unusual circumstances. His name was Carmen Nase and to date, we still don't know much about him.
We brought back a ceramic kerosene lamp (see below) and within a few weeks, things began happening. First we heard footsteps one night upstairs and after checking (my father did), he found noone was there. Then about a week later my mother was in our upstairs hallway and felt something ahead of her. It was cold and the air felt dank (like being underwater). The final event that brought everything together was my actual witnessing of a ghost in our hallway (all of these events center around the hallway because this lamp was there in the hall). One evening I was asleep in my parents' room and awoke about 3 AM. I looked around and saw nothing, and as I was starting to try falling asleep again; I saw a whitish figure "float" into view at my parent's doorway. He had definite features like eyes, a nose, a full figure and what looked like a hat on his head. He stopped and saw me watching him and I looked at him for a while. I tried to prove I wasn't dreaming so I pinched myself and looked again; he was still there. As I attempted to wake up my parents he began moving or "floating" down towards the end of the hall. I never forgot that experience and now just last July I saw him in the house again (strangely I didn' t notice anything while taking the picture, only after looking at them later did he become obvious). I know his spirit came back with us in that ship lamp and now his spirit is still roaming that house in College Park today. I have tried to speak with the current residents about the events but they are either too scared or unwilling to talk about what they have seen themselves in the house.
Recently we have contacted the Islands Historical Society in Freeport and they are helping us contact a woman in British Columbia who had a photograph of Carmen. The background house you see on the page is actually Carmen's house, which burned down in 1974. Above you can see the warf where the foghorns were located on Brier Island. It was these foghorns that I cherish the most of our trip. If anyone has photographs of the foghorns, please contact me.
