DTCP 013 - The Vampires of Wilno

Canadian Creepies Season 1

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.
