I Met a Pie-Man Going to the Fort - July 1996-

Not everyone who experiences something on the Ghost Tour is anxious to talk about their experience in front of the gaggle of curious Ghost Tourites who often gather in front of the fort at the end of the tour. Somethings, it takes a little prodding for someone to tell their ghost story. After much pestering, one of the families on the tour forced their sixteen year old daughter to come forward and describe what she had seen. Reluctantly, the young lady explained that as the tour was leaving hte fort at the end of the evening, she had seen a man standing beside the sentry box at the front gate. She describes him as a very skinny old man of perhaps seventy. He was wearing blue overalls and a red plaid shirt, and had very short grey hair which was slightly balding at the front. Although his cheeks were sunken and creased with wrinkles, there was a sparkle in his eyes as he smiled and waved as the tour filed by and moved out of the fort. In his other hand he carried a meringue covered pie, presumably lemon.

Seance Side Effects - July 1995-

Having finished a tour for the Fort George staff, the group retired to the Barracks for a seance. Sadly, nothing unusual occurred during the seance, although two members reported hearing childlike giggling from the direction of the stairway. While leaving the fort afterwards, hoever, one staff member claimed to have seen a soldier waiting at the front gate, watching to make sure everyone got out safely. As the group made its way into the parking lot, Sonja thought she saw a male figure leaning against a cannon just outside the gates of the fort. Assuming that it was just her imagination playing tricks, she did not say anything. Coming to work the next morning, it was no surprise that there wasn't a man by the cannon, but strangely, the cannon itself was also missing. As cannons of the type she describes weigh about 4,000 lbs, and since Fort George has not reported one stolen, we can only presume that our phantom artillerist took his weapon with him.
