Canadian Creepies
Welcome to Canadian Creepies—the podcast that digs into the dark corners of Canada’s past and present. Your hosts Valerie, Ali, Amanda Joy ( host of Down the Crooked Path), and sometimes Kyle explore the true crime cases that haunt us, the paranormal encounters that make us question what’s real, and the unsettling folklore that lingers just out of sight.
From cults to cold cases, ghosts to government cover-ups, we don’t just tell the stories—we ask why they still matter.
It’s creepy. It’s Canadian. And it’s probably going to keep you up at night.

DTCP 013 - The Vampires of Wilno
Send us a text, tell us your canadian creepy!
In the quiet hills of Wilno, Ontario—the oldest Polish-Kashub settlement in Canada—whispers of something ancient still linger. Tales of the undead, of graves disturbed, of iron stakes and midnight rituals have passed through generations like warnings carried on the wind.
In this episode, Amanda ventures into the strange and shadowy folklore of Wilno’s so-called vampires. Blending Old World superstition with New World fear, these stories speak to the tension between tradition and survival, between myth and memory.
What happens when belief follows settlers across the ocean? And what secrets lie buried beneath the soil of this small Ontario town?
Come walk the crooked path—if you dare.
