10/21/22 • 71 min

The epic conclusion of our 3-part Haunted Talks special event! Brittney Bos (Historian & Series Writer) and Margo MacDonald (Haunted Walk Tour Guide and Lead Investigator), join us for a haunted roundtable discussion about the four cases we have shared. It is a fun and thought-provoking conversation that explores the nature of poltergeists, why these cases might be so similar despite decades and great geographical distances between them, as well as additional unsettling details about the cases we have not shared in the first two episodes.

Ep 135 - Canadian Poltergeists - Part 2

The second episode in a 3-part Haunted Talks special event! We continue our exploration of Canada’s most documented and frightening Poltergeist cases. For this episode, we travel to the Maritimes and explore two stories in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Although nearly 50 years and 200 km separate them, these stories share too many details to ignore. They have all of the hallmarks of the poltergeist stories that we’ve already come to know: the strange noises and aggressive behaviours.

In Amherst, a young woman named Esther Cox became the target of suspicion after her family’s home was tormented by an entity that would start fires, leave writings on the walls, and directly communicate with witnesses by using knocks or a disembodied voice.

In Caledonia Mills, a family was besieged by a relentless series of fires. It seemed anything could catch fire at any moment: wallpaper, wet towels, and the grass in the yard. Nothing was safe from the flames. The family was so worried about the spread of fire that they all took turns keeping watch, worried that there could be an arsonist lurking in their midst.

Join us for the final episode of Canadian Poltergeists on Friday, October 21st, 2022!

Ep 137 - Haunted Hotel: The Fort Garry

Like many old Canadian hotels, the Fort Garry was a railroad hotel built by the Grand Trunk Railroad just before the outbreak of the First World War. While spirits have been spotted throughout the property, the second floor has the highest concentration of activity and is usually the site of the most famous encounters. In fact, there is a specific room that paranormal investigators always wish to book. With ghosts that get in bed with the guests, spirits that cause blood to run down the walls, and a phantom woman in a long white gown, the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba is undoubtedly one of Canada’s most haunted spots. We explore the history and hauntings of this paranormal landmark.
