Two notable authorities pooled their talents to compile this popular collection of 93 Gaelic folksongs from Cape Breton. First published in 1964, it has been reissued for a new generation of folklore enthusiasts, music lovers, and Gaelic scholars. The songs were recorded by Helen Creighton in the original Gaelic, which was transcribed and translated by the late Calum MacLeod, professor of Celtic studies at Saint Francis Xavier University. The texts accompanying the musical score of each song include the Gaelic lyrics, the English translation, and detailed explanatory notes.

Ghosts guarding buried treasure, phantom ships, haunted houses and supernatural warnings of death--these are just some of the strange and mysterious phenomena that you will encounter in Bluenose Ghosts. These unexplained mysteries become all the more chilling knowing that they are based on personal experiences of ordinary people, told to Helen Creighton, one of Canada's most respected and renowned folklorists, over a period of thirty years.

These unique tales of witches, hauntings, cures, and curses were passed down through generations. The author was a collector of Canadian Maritime folk tales for more than 50 years, and these mysterious and sometimes macabre tales are a part of the cultural inheritance of the Maritimes. New Englanders will recognize the tales as they resonate with a shared inheritance.
