As I read through the article "Scugug Island Ghost" , dated Dec 24 1998, I could not help but think I had heard this story before. Alas, after some diligent searching, I located a similar, yet different version of the same story. I will attempt to recount it as told in a book entitled "Ontario Ghost Stories" by Barbara H Smith, Lone Pine Publishing 1998 pp 206-208, as best I can. The story goes like this...

A young man riding his motorcycle at excessive speed, lost control of his motorcycle, and was thrown and killed. The apparition now rides the road relentlessly, with great regularity and predictability. The ghost is so predictable, that a team of local college students has both photographed as well as videotaped the specter (she fails to mention, however, who these college students are, what college they attended or where the photographic information is today). The photo and video tape apparently have striking detail; apparently certain physical features of the ghost can be made out. Greg Schuler, Stroud, On,Can
