Spooky ... Cape Cod Canal Posted Sunday, June 12, 2016 10:24 PM ![]() The famous Cape Cod Canal is a man made waterway
connecting Cape Cod Bay to Buzzards Bay. It’s about 7 miles
long, 480 feet wide and 32 feet deep. It shaves 135 miles off the
journey around the Cape for its 14,000 annual users.
The Cape Cod Canal is also famous for one more thing,
GHOSTS.
The Army Corps of Engineers maintains the Cape Cod Canal
Visitor Center which introduces visitors to the history of the
canal. But will ghost sightings soon to be included? Can you
picture the three-fold pamphlet with “I see dead people” on the
cover in the tourist rack? According to Cape Cod Canal
Fish.com, ghosts of the canal come out frequently, especially on
foggy nights.
Some of the ghosts are said to be spirits of past workers who
died constructing the bridges. Other sightings include a local girl
who was brutally murdered and some are of commercial
fishermen who perished at sea.
One female spirit is said to be wearing an all white dress, asking
in a haunting voice where a pay phone is. Sport fishermen have
added to the reports of catching spirit sightings when they
weren’t catching anything else.
Next time you’re in the area, be vigilant and you may see one of
the ghosts of the Cape Cod Canal!
