    The Museum of Horror

    In the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada is the fascinating, creepy and intriguing Museum of Horror. It is located at the back of Becks Antiques and to me it is the best thing in the city of Edmonton. I visited with my daughter Samira where we met the wonderful Nicole who took us on a tour and explained some of the many artifacts. Grab a bowl of popcorn and join me on a journey into the unknown spirit world as we talk haunted dolls, punishment boxes and a romance with a couple of human skulls.

    Revelstoke, British Columbia with guest Cathy English

    When you're travelling through British Columbia on the Trans Canada Highway between Vancouver and the Rocky Mountains you must stop at the beautiful town of Revelstoke. I always do and on one trip I stopped at the Revelstoke Museum and Archives to chat with Curator, Cathy English about the fascinating history of this former hub of interior transportation. From the disappearing Sinixt First Nation to the infamous Hug 'n' Slug we cover Revelstoke's history and even find out how so many people were born in the meat department of the local grocery store.
