Newfoundland (where I live) is supposedly aswarm with ghosts. One of my favourite stories is that of the Headless sea captain who haunts a house near Queen’s Road in St. John’s. As I heard it told, the captain’s wife had a lover, who used to frequent the house while the captain was at sea. Dissatisfied with this arrangement, the lover lay in wait one night, and decapitated the captain with a sword. The headless captain’s still seen walking Queen’s Road (but not, alas, by me, though I lived near there for several years). You can find the story here,and a picture of the house here, although none of the online versions seem to refer to the lady as the captain’s wife.
