Here’s an interesting article from 1922. A man named William H. Bryson claimed to have been visited by many ghosts from his past, and all but one were “first rate chaps.”

Those last couple lines are in reference to a haunted farm in Caledonia Mills, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, a story that was making its own trail in the papers of early 1922.

The Ghostly Fellows

Most of the ghosts Bryson met were friendly, and were often people he’d known in life.

But according to Bryson, the ghosts did not appreciate being given the cold shoulder (though it seems nothing malevolent came of their frustration.) Only one ghost was ever unwelcome, an old business partner who haunted Bryson for six straight nights to scold him for losing his money.

Despite all these visitations, Bryson seemed pretty comfortable with the whole experience.

One thought on ““He Met 20 Ghosts”

  1. For some reason I think that Mr. Bryson’s story and claims only haunt newspapers of old. As far as his claims of being visited by ghosts or spirits in my opinion, he was ignorant of the real spirits behind his visitations. Despite his claim to having mostly friendly visitors, he was being misguided and robbed of spiritual truths.
