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 late 1800s, deep in the Miramichi woods of New Brunswick, a young cook was said to have met a violent end in a remote lumber camp. Soon after, the stillness of the forest was shattered by terrifying, unearthly cries that echoed through the night. The men called it the Dungarvon Whooper, and the legend was born.

But were these chilling screams the restless spirit of a murdered man, a tale spun by lonely lumberjacks, or something older that has always haunted the Canadian wilderness?

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we unearth the haunting story of the Dungarvon Whooper: the murder, the folklore, and the echoes that still ring through New Brunswick’s dark woods. 🕯️🌲
