Over the years there have been many questions surrounding the man dubbed Jack The Ripper. Some say he was a member of the Royal family - others swear he was notorious American serial killer H.H Holmes. Some have confessed, only to revoke their statements later, but not Dr. Thomas Neill Cream. As he met his fate at the gallows on November 15 1892 - he uttered his last words to the crowd: "I am Jack".

In the county of Antigonish there is a place called Caledonia Mills.

In January of 1922, a fire started in the house of Alex and Mary MacDonald. Oddly it was not near their fireplace or wood stove...more fires would follow. 100's of witnesses, investigators too - no one could really say for sure what the cause was but all the trouble stared when the MacDonald's brought home someone new...

"Rap tap tapping, gently on my chamber door"...quoth the, widow?

Ghostly visitors imploring company on a dark and stomry night - sounds like something from a Gothic poem, but for a stately home in Brockville, Ontario it might be bit more than urban lore.
