http://the163.blogspot.com/p/haunted-history-in-farmhouse.html
Haunted history in farmhouse. 8220;I looked up and I just got cold.”. 8220;Oh my gosh. I was scared.”. When Candis Kirkpatrick moved into an old farmhouse outside of Mortlach, she had no idea what she was getting herself into. Kirkpatrick and her husband moved into the farmhouse in 1969, shortly after the couple got married. That year and for the next four years, Kirkpatrick would experience things that would make most people’s hair stand on end. 8220;Everything started to fall into place,” she said.

Monday, November 22, 2010. JOHN B. PLUCK. It is hard for the average city resident to understand why persons would choose to live in a small rural community.

Each rural Saskatchewan settlement once boasted at least one, but years of neglect and decline are quickly changing them into artifacts of the past. It is no secret that men’s softball teams are slowly slipping away from Saskatchewan towns and villages. 8220;It was a big deal. We’d have a big crowd all day, with ball and beer gardens and hamburgers” laughed Gardner. The team seemed to survive as ...

the 163: Icons of the past
http://the163.blogspot.com/p/icons-of-past.html
Icons of the past. Twenty-three trains pass through Mortlach each day. The old Mortlach train station sits in a cluttered, overgrown yard. Some windows are broken while stacks of Zonolite Ceiling Insulation block the view from another. Ornate arch beams support the roof’s overhang. Christmas decorations and chairs litter the plywood path leading to the doors. Decrepit yet elegant, the building is now owned by Norman Dixon, 86, and it functions as an “antique shop.”.

Mortlach Museum: More than antiques. The Mortlach Museum is housed in the old fire hall. Located just off Rose Street, the Mortlach Museum has been helping its community piece together their history since 1979. 8220;There's so much history there.".
