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.

From the mist rising over the St. Lawrence to the echoing corridors of centuries-old fortresses, Quebec is a province built on history—and haunted by it.

In this episode of Canadian Creepies, Valerie and Amanda wander through three of Quebec’s most chilling sites:
🕯️ The Château Frontenac, where the ghost of the Count of Frontenac still walks the halls, searching for the love he lost.
⚔️ The Plains of Abraham, where phantom soldiers march through fog and cannon fire long after the battle has ended.
📚 The Morrin Centre, once Quebec’s first city jail, where chains still rattle in the dark beneath the library’s polished floors.

And in this week’s Creep of the Week, we meet Adélard Godbout—a premier whose restless spirit may still walk the fields of Saint-Éloi, searching for redemption in a province that never forgave him.

🕯️ Some ghosts linger for love. Others, for history. And a few—just to be understood.
