  • Summary

  • The story of Anson Minor is a classic campfire tale that has been terrifying Canadian campers for decades. The spooky tale is most commonly heard from the lakeshores and backwoods of Ontario, and while, on the surface, it might seem like any other summer camp legend, this story is special because it can help us understand how urban legends are made, and the nature of summertime scares. So, grab a snack and get cosy to learn all about the Legend of Anson Minor.
