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.

On this episode of Canadian Creepies, Valerie and Amanda head west to uncover one of the most shocking corruption scandals in Canadian history — The Mulligan Affair.

In 1950s Vancouver, Police Chief Walter Mulligan stood as the face of law and order… until a series of leaks exposed a tangled web of bribery, vice, and backroom deals that reached from the city’s underbelly to the highest ranks of power. What followed was a public scandal that shattered trust and left Vancouver haunted by its own hypocrisy.

Then, in this week’s Creep of the Week, we meet Dr. Chris Mazza — The Doctor Who Bled the Skies. Once a celebrated figure in Ontario’s air ambulance program, his story spirals into deception, ego, and misuse of public trust — a modern echo of the same moral decay that fueled Mulligan’s fall.

Some ghosts wear badges. Others wear lab coats.
