Here is an interesting story.....................I lived on Salt Spring Island {hence my nickname SSIGUY} about 15 years ago for about 3 years and loved it and the people. There was a famous big old house from the turn of the century off a main road near downtown that was said to be haunted by a large elderly black woman, think Mammy from Gone With The Wind. She was well known and nearly everyone on the Island knew of her and the haunted house.
Anyway I was sharing a house with a couple other guys and one guy had his young son and needed some work and money. He was offered painting job at the house as the previous painter 'quit all of a sudden in the middle of his shift" and he gladly took it as it was abnormally high pay. Anyway, the 2nd day of work he saw the old black Mammy and he was scared out of his mind, left work immediately and never went back. He later found out that the other painter also saw the Mammy and is why he left and this is one of the reasons the job paid so well...........they couldn't find anyone to take and keep the job.
True story.
