Prince Edward Island was first inhabeted by the mi'kmaq people. They have lived on the island for several thousand years. They originally named the land epekwitk. The Europeans explored the island and in 1604 the French claimed the lands of the Maritimes. The British eventually claimed the land over conquest in 1769. Under the British control, in 1758 the island was added to Nova Scotia. Captin Samuel Holland was commissioned to survey the land an he split the land into 67 townships with only 20,000 acres of land in each. Nova Scotia was separated from the colony in 1769 but still had land issues for over 100 years until after the confederation when the islands government could purchase the last of the large estate.

THE HAUNTED BRIDGE
Jack connoway was riding his horse across a bridge when the horse seamed uneasy. Jack tried to comfort the horse, when a bloodcurdling scream echoed across the stream. The horse reared up, causing jack to plummet over the bridge to his death.
A few years later, his younger brother was crossing the same bridge when the horse stoped suddenly. The man looked ahead. A bright light was issuing from the trees. The man scratched his beard. He had never seen a light like this. Something hit a tree with such force the the lights seemed to sprinkle to the ground. A voice of a man trying to sooth a horse drifted from behind him. The man recognized the voice to be the one of his dead brother. He looked towards the fence at the other end of the stream where fogey shapes of people emerged from the fence. Just as suddenly as they appeared they had vanished into the fog once more.
