The Haunted Barber of Barkerville, BC

The final part of my four part series about “Ghost Town Ghosts,” another story from my own home province of British Columbia and arguably the most famous ghost town in western Canada. The story is about friendship—about a connection that can pierce the veil between this world and the next. It’s also a tale mystery, of true crime, and of how historic facts and figures can take the shape of legend. Hear the story of Charles Morgan Blessing—the lonely occupant of a single grave in Canada's smallest provincial historic site—and the legends that still linger over a century after his murder.
