History

When Nadine Bailey was 7 years old she woke up terrified of dark figures looming at the end of her bed and an eerie presence all around her. From then on every night was the same, she was visited by phantom-like shadows and no matter where she went, the ghostly encounters followed her. Ever since that moment, hauntings, spirits and the unexplained have consumed her entire life and for the past 20 ... more

  • Spooky & Informative 👻🕸️

    I’ve been listening to the podcast since last Fall. Really enjoy learning about ghost stories and haunted sites across Canada. 🇨🇦

    I just listened to the Cronquist House episode. Loved it! I’ll have to pay a visit for afternoon tea. ☕️

    I’d love to hear any stories about the former Alberta Hospital Ponoka (now shares a site with the more modern Centennial Centre) in Ponoka county.

  • Need a change in voice tone

    I like the topics covered on this podcast, but I’m not sure why the host reads everything so monotone. I’ve heard her on a ghost bunny podcast and her actual voice has inflection and emotion in it. It seems like she’s trying to read this so monotone that it makes it really boring when she’s talking. The people she interviews are interesting, but I really think she should use her actual voice instead of doing whatever she’s doing with her voice here.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hermitage Ruins: Where the Dead Still Walk
Q: What paranormal experiences have been reported at the Hermitage?
Daniel recounts hearing activity during a tour and seeing a half-eaten apple strike his lantern. He also describes reports of a woman-shaped figure in a nonexistent upper-story window, his sighting of two shadows walking together, and a contractor's account of encountering the mansion intact before seeing it as ruins.
The Hermitage Ruins: Where the Dead Still Walk
Q: What happened to the Hermitage, and why is it associated with the legend of Lovers Lane?
Daniel explains that the Leiths built the stone mansion in the 1850s on property associated with an earlier romance between William, a servant, and a young woman in the household. The legend says Otto Ives rejected their relationship, after which William took his own life. The house later burned in 1934, and stories of apparitions and unusual events accumulated around the ruins.
The Home of Halloween: Derry, Northern Ireland
Q: And where was he starved?
McCrossan says Walter de Burgh was starved in a tower at Greencastle in County Donegal, outside Derry.
The Home of Halloween: Derry, Northern Ireland
Q: Where are they buried?

Crumlin Road Gaol: Echoes Behind Bars
Q: Who is Bobby Blair and what is Crumlin Road Gaol known for?
