    For some, it’s little more than a local oddity. For others, it’s a mystery that demands to be solved.

Join me as we solve a century old puzzle, and learn about the curious history, fascinating folklore, and dubious medical advice that are part of the story of one of Canada’s strangest gravesites.

  • The Haunted Barber of Barkerville, BC
    Oct 31 2024

    The final part of my four part series about “Ghost Town Ghosts,” another story from my own home province of British Columbia and arguably the most famous ghost town in western Canada. The story is about friendship—about a connection that can pierce the veil between this world and the next. It’s also a tale mystery, of true crime, and of how historic facts and figures can take the shape of legend.

  • The Phantom Rider of Bickleigh, SK
    Oct 24 2024

    For decades, a mysterious pair of spirits—a horse and its rider—have been said to haunt a long-vanished stretch of train track that once cut through the northern expanse of the Great Plains. Some said they were little more than a trick of fog in the moonlight, but that was before human remains were found nearby. Figment or phantom, it’s an excellent piece of folklore from the Canadian west, with ties to a community and a history that’s in danger of being forgotten.

    This is Part Three in a four-part series called Ghost Town Ghosts which explores the phantoms and spirits once said to haunt Canadian communities that no longer exist.
