The Thornes Cove Haunted House

Thornes Cove, Annapolis County, NS

The Thornes Cove Haunted House is just one of the many acclaimed haunted houses in the Annapolis Valley. Many of these haunted houses have been torn down but several still exist today. With so many houses in the area that are two hundred plus years old it is only natural that some of them contain ghost from their past.

There was a house in Thornes Cove that was said to be haunted. The doors in the house were said to rattle for no apparent reason and the latches would lift by themselves. At times the doors would open and close all by themselves. Many a strange noise was heard in the house also, but there was never a reason for the noises found.

One man while living in the haunted house said he was in bed one night when he heard noises like two men jumping and shuffling in the hall. He went to investigate and could not find anyone there. The only other people in the house were his parents and they both were sound asleep.

At one time the owner of the house used to own slaves and it was said he did not treat them very kindly. Another time it was said that a peddler had been killed in the Thornes Cove haunted house. For a time peddlers were a prime target for murder, they always carried money with them and they always travelled alone.

No one is sure if it is the slaves or the peddler that haunts the house. One man swears it is the peddler as every time he walked past the house at night a peddler would come out and chase him.
