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 this special bonus episode of Canadian Creepies, we sit down with journalist and author Brian Baker to explore the question at the heart of his new book, Eerie Whispers:
Why are Canadians so afraid to talk about ghosts?

From campfire tales and immigrant folklore to the ancestral stories of Indigenous Nations, Canada is overflowing with supernatural lore—yet we often shy away from embracing it. Brian dives into the cultural forces that keep our paranormal experiences in the shadows, the stigma around sharing unexplained encounters, and the quiet, eerie roots woven through our national identity.

We chat about the stories that shaped his curiosity, what he’s uncovered through the Superstitious Times, and why he believes Canada is long overdue for its own supernatural renaissance.

Ghosts, cultural history, folklore, and a whole lot of uncanny Canadiana—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
