Researcher Shanon Sinn found his curiosity piqued by stories of mysterious sightings onthe island—ghosts, sasquatches, sea serpents—but he was disappointed in the sensational and sometimes disrespectful way they were being retold or revised. Acting on his desire to transform these stories from unsubstantiated gossip to thoroughly researched accounts, Sinn uncovered fascinating details, identified historical inconsistencies, and now retells these encounters as accurately as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"biography\"\u003eInvestigating 25 spellbinding tales that windtheir way from the south end of the island to the north, Sinn explored hauntings in cities, in the forest, and on isolated logging roads. In addition to visiting castles, inns, and cemeteries, he followed the trail of spirits glimpsed on mountaintops, beaches, and water, and visited Heriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island and the Schooner Restaurant in Tofino to personally scrutinize reports of hauntings. Featuring First Nations stories from each of the three Indigenous groups who call Vancouver Islandhome—the Coast Salish, the Nuu-chah-nulth, and the Kwakwaka’wakw—the book includes an interview with Hereditary Chief James Swan of Ahousaht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContributor Bio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"biography\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShanon Sinn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a member of British Columbia Ghosts \u0026amp; Hauntings Research Society (BCGHRS), Paranormal Studies and Inquiries Canada (PSICAN), and he researches folklore and hauntings from a journalistic perspective.
