Dale Gilbert Jarvis is a storyteller and professional folklorist living on the island of Newfoundland, off Canada’s northeast coast. By day, Jarvis is the provincial folklorist for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the first provincially-funded folklorist position in Canada. By night, he is the proprietor of the St. John’s Haunted Hike ghost tour and raconteur of local tales. Dale tells ghost stories, stories of the fairies and little people, tales of phantom ships and superstitions, and legends and traditional tales from Newfoundland, Labrador and beyond. His repertoire is unique in Canada, including long-form folk and fairy tales from the island, with a wide-ranging knowledge of local legends, tall tales, and myths. His most recent book "Haunted Ground: Ghost Stories from the Rock" is published by Flanker Press.
