The Esther Cox story was one of the most frightening Poltergeist accounts in Canadian History, and we were fortunate enough to investigate a location that had ties to Esther!
Amherst has a very unique history, and the Cumberland County Museum and Archives contains many artifacts of historical significance. One of their displays commemorates the haunting of Ester Cox, one of Canada’s most famous and documented case of Poltergeist activity.
For months it tormented a 19-year-old girl and her family with deafening noises, horrifying threats and unspeakable violence in one of the most famous poltergeist cases in Canadian history.

The strange events were witnessed and documented by many people, and even became the subject of a book, The Great Amherst Mystery. During our investigation we recorded some stunning EVPs... this is one of them!
Needless to say, we were pretty excited to capture this! Here's another evp that we recorded. ** headphones are recommended **
