Dear Mrs. Prince,
The book I am reading right now is called Canadian Ghost Stories by Barba Smith. She is a radio host and is interested in ghosts. She collects stories by people who call her radio station. I am not done reading this book. I started in the middle of last week.
There a many stories in this book. The one that interests me the most is titled Titanic. It is about a reason of why the Titanic sunk. We all know that it hit an iceberg, but what made it hit it? This story is about a cursed mummy that brings bad luck, and was in the Titanic in its first voyage. The mummy was sold to someone and the seller died soon after. The person would not accept it was cursed. When his two friend die, he gave it to the museum. When a photographer took a picture of it he died soon, too. Then the museum decided to take it far away. They put it in the Titanic to ship to America. Then when the Titanic set off, it hit the iceberg near Canada.
Another one that interests me is about a ghost that saves lives. The ghost was a moonshiner in Canada. A moonshiner is a person who makes moonshine or an illegal alcohol. His moonshine was so dangerous that it killed. It would make you sick. This moonshiner's nickname was Smoker. The police found him and after a long time evading police, he was put in jail. His lasts words were asking God if he could redo what he has done. Then he died.
Once, two police man got lost in a snow storm. Then they saw this figure in the snow. They tried to get its attention , but it didn't work. So instead they followed it. They arrived at a fur trader‘s house and went inside. They ask the fur trader who the figure was. The fur trader said it was Smoker.
These are two of my favorite stories. Hoped you enjoyed them.

Dear Alexander,
ReplyDeleteGreat rj, in your second story Smoker was a ghost, and how did Smoker become a ghost? The titanic one is just about a stereotype mummy story so its kinda cheesy. Keep me posted!

Dear Lucky,
ReplyDeleteSmoker died by old age in a jail. He then became a ghost that wanted to help people.
I agree with you about the Titanic story. It is like a regular curse, or hainting story, but with the Titanic.

Dear Alexander,
ReplyDeleteIs it true about the titanic event? How could it have been Smoker if he died? I don't think that Smoker should have made the moonshine. It kiled people and made him go to jail. What did Smoker even put in it that it was so deadly? Who was the mummy? Didn't we read about this in Mrs. Barnes class?

Dear Yafit,
ReplyDeleteThanks for throwing questions at me. All the stories in this book is true. The mummy was a Egyptian princess. There was no name in the book.
This book is about ghost stories, so Smoker's ghost saved the people. Lastly, no. We didn't read this in Mrs. Barnes class. Why do you think that?
