The Legend of Anson Minor
If you grew up attending a summer camp in Ontario or Nova Scotia, you might have heard the legend of Anson Minor. The former owner of the land upon which the camp now sits, it's said that his restless, homicidal spirit now haunts the grounds, limping through the fields and just beyond the tree line with a telltale limp, and carrying an old lamp that emits an eerie green glow. In this episode, we'll learn all about this legend and others like it, then trace its origins back through the decades to the original camp that spawned the story, and the tragic series of events that inspired it. It's a full study of what makes an urban legend—and a campfire tale—stick around.
