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.

In the shadow of the Cold War, one Canadian engineer found himself staring not at the ground, but at the skies. Wilbert Smith (1910–1962), a respected radio engineer, began his career tuning into the science of sound and signal—but soon found himself listening for something far stranger.

This week, Down the Crooked Path uncovers the curious story of Smith’s work, his secret government files, and the questions that followed him into history. Was he chasing nothing more than static… or had he stumbled onto transmissions from beyond?

Join Amanda Joy as she walks us into the frequencies of mystery, where science and the unexplained meet.
