There have been other stories of people who have reporting seeing a burning ship, several who lived in the North Cape area, but no one had ever pursued it as did the patrol boatand officers on that September night back in 1974. So the Phantom ship still

remains a mystery known only by the ways of the sea. Another story that has a connection to the sea, and passed

down through the generations, tells of three fishermen walking one night to their homes at Tignish Shore. They were walking along a dark wooded trail close to the . water’s edge at a spot called ”Little Tignish” when they were joined by a ghostly figure of a man, who accompanied them, but did not engage in their conversation. There was something about his presence that terrified them.

Having heard the story of Blumphy’s ' ghost, a fishermen from Newfoundland who hanged himself along the trail, in the 1800’ and was buried in a lonesome spot along the river, they wondered among themselves if it could be him. Since Blumphy for some reason was not given a proper burial, but placed in a shallow grave along the wooded trail. They wondered if the old story passed down by fishermen before them had been true after all. As things settled down following a terrorizing ordeal on that night, Blumphy must have received the peace he needed for his soul, as no one has reported any more signs of a ghost in the dark

wooded area ever since.
