Ghost Stories of the Shipwreck Coast

The raw material

Lost vessels, lights in bad weather, keepers' lonely winters. Bamfield has never lacked material.

The settings

Cape Beale. The trail. Remote beach camps. Every legend needs a place, and this coast issues them.

For stormy nights

These stories change how you listen to the weather. A storm-watching trip hits different when you know what the fog has covered.
