New Brunswick seems particularly rich in phantom folklore. Headless women, phantom boats, hellish hounds and singing spectres apparently frequent every corner of every county. Some are old ghosts, more entertaining than eerie, preserved in the oral tradition through folksongs, poetry and tall tales told to terrify the young. Others carry the weight of first-hand experience recalled by seemingly credible witnesses. Here are a few New Brunswick ghost stories. You can also read about New Brunswick Haunted Locations.

I want to quickly let you know about two separate incidents of ghost stories. The first sighting was of a young-looking girl and she just stood in one place staring out a small window. I was inside the Victoria Health Centre in Fredericton, NB, CA. The sighting of the girl was inside the same building but on the top floor and she was looking out onto the Saint John river.
The second sighting was of a skeleton like person. The skeleton was around six feet tall and wearing a hat. This happened inside the ER of the Upper River Valley Hospital. I was lying on a bed looking out towards the hospital staff who were facing towards me. The hologram sighting of the skeleton was no more than five feet away from a nurse. I was too tired and did not speak a word to anybody.
I never told anyone about those two sightings either. The two incidents never happened again and that skeleton seen looked similar to the one from Deathnote.
Not a ghost story but interesting N.B.folklore.
