Are you ready for a ghoulish good time when you next visit the post office?

Canada Post is out with another edition of Haunted Canada Stamps.

They feature images representing five famous Canadian ghost stories, including the Bell Island Hag from Bell Island, Newfoundland.

The spirit, it is said, dwells in the marshes near Dobbin’s Garden and appears to a lone person, overpowering him or her with her stench.

The stamps are printed in five colours with holographic foils and are available in booklets of 10.
