Come join Janet Becigneul of the Haunted Antigonish Ghost Tour and learn about the world-famous ghosts here in Antigonish. From the Blue Nun and Red Priest to the fire ghost of Caledonia Mills, this town is renowned for its ghosts. In fact, the name “Antigonish” is most often associated with the ghost-inspired poem Antigonish (I met a man who wasn't there) by Hughes Mearns, which inspired a film and a few songs, including the David Bowie hit "The Man Who Sold The World" (famously covered by Nirvana).
