Helen Creighton
Helen Creighton made a remarkable contribution towards retrieving the stories, songs, and legends that have shaped the culture and the people of the Maritimes. Written by her protégé, Clary Croft, this biography offers both a portrait of a woman woven into the fabric of Canadian folklore, and a glimpse into the social mores of her time.
Helen Creighton Collection
Recordings collected by Dr. Helen Creighton during her career in folklore, from 1932 to 1968 approximately. A number of publications have been published based on these recordings. The majority of the material deals with folklore. Interviews covering informants' lives, families, and geographic areas, are interwoven throughout recordings of music, stories, etc. Groups represented include Micmac. Marori, Scottish Canadians and Acadians.
Bluenose Ghosts
Ghosts guarding buried treasure, phantom ships, haunted houses and supernatural warnings of death. These unexplained mysteries are all the more chilling because they are based on personal experiences of ordinary people, told to Helen Creighton, one of Canada's most respected and renowned folklorists.
