Summary

This week we're welcoming back historian Dr Joseph Gagne to tell us about a ghost story that straddles North America and Scotland. He was last with us to tell us about the legend of La Corriveau in episode 181.

Appearances of the Dead: A Cultural History of Ghosts by Ronald C. Finucane - mentioned by Joseph as his introduction to this story. This is an affiliate link and the book is out of print, so be advised it's PRICEY.

But wait! You can read it for free at Archive.org .
Joseph asked me to be sure and share links to:

Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales Du Québec

Also to his blog: Curieuse Nouvelle France

And of course the official site of Fort Ticonderoga
