Haunted: 57 Pitt Street, Glace Bay
Monday, February 8, 2010 at 1:20PM
The house at 57 Pitt Street was once located on Douglas Avenue. During the thirties it was a rec. hall for the neighbourhood’s Polish community. After the War, the Credit Union bought the building and moved it to its current address. Miners deposited their pay cheques there until Caledonia pit closed in 1963.
I took this photo on Christmas Eve. I’m not sure if the girl peeking out the front door is waiting for Santa or trying to keep the dilapidated structure from collapsing. She seems forlorn. The owner of 57 Pitt once told me that a ghost (a man dressed in camel colour pants and a wife beater T-shirt) haunted the house. I wouldn’t doubt it.

How long and where was it on Douglas Ave.?
Just the words Pitt Street scare me.
I walked part of it on my way to St. Anthony's school 50 years ago to teach grade 3!
My sister lived in that house for a couple of years. I'll have to ask her about it.
This is so weird seeing this . I am Sandy's sister and I did live in this house for a few years . My boyfriend Billy was always jumping up out of bed in the middle of the night . When I would ask what he was doing he would always say he had seen someone outside our bedroom . This happened alot . I thought he may have been dreaming this stuff but when we moved he didn't do it anymore . He always said that house was haunted . He called what he had seen shadow people .
