New book recounts memories of La Ronge home haunted by a poltergeist

Nov 30, 2022 | 3:04 PM

A former resident of La Ronge has published a book recounting her experiences of living in a home in the community haunted by a poltergeist.

Published in October, the book is called Knock, Knock: The true story of a family in Northern Saskatchewan living with a poltergeist. It was written by Roxy Fisher, who moved into a house in La Ronge in 2004 and witnessed a ghostly apparition within days of doing so.

“It was the third night when I was sleeping and I had rolled over and looked up and it looked like there was half a body floating above me kind of studying me,” she said.

“I started putting things together and there were a lot of weird things. A wine glass went flying. A painting went flying off the wall and smashed on my counter. A lot of banging, weird sounds in the wall. Just too much stuff you can’t ignore.”

The occurrences continued for five years until Fisher and her family moved to Saskatoon. She also claims there were menacing voices, unwanted physical contact, and unexplained smells.

Although there were so many disturbances, Fisher explained she was never afraid to live in the house. She said she had experienced paranormal activity since she was a child, but never to the extremes as it was living there.

Fisher mentioned she’s never heard from any other people living at the house if they too have experienced what she did. She also never thought to have anyone bless or pray in the house.

“I do drive by it once and a while and look,” she said. “I kind of miss it, kind of don’t. It’s a mixed feeling.”

When asked about the location of the house, Fisher noted she wanted to keep that a secret. She’s heard from family and friends the location has been the talk of the town lately, and she’d like to keep people guessing.

The book is approximately 48 pages and it can be purchased online at Amazon. Fisher recommends it for readers 12 and up, adding those who like ghost stories will enjoy it too.

“I hope people read it and enjoy it and I welcome any feedback if anyone wants to get back to me and let me know how they like it,” she said.
