Ghost stories are found in every corner of Newfoundland and Labrador, a place so steeped in history and tradition that some inhabitants never, ever, want to leave. And no one knows them better than storyteller and folklorist Dale Jarvis.
On November 18th, come to the Marystown Hotel for Burin Expo 3, and, if you dare, Dale Jarvis will introduce you to some of his favourite legends and ghost stories, and delve into the lore behind some of our folk beliefs and fears. He'll tell some tales, answer your questions about the paranormal, fairylore, and the supernatural, and will then be signing and selling copies of his most recent book, “Haunted Ground: Ghost Stories From The Rock” published by Flanker Press.
