    Dark Folklore - Part 1 🫣

    We journey into the shadowy realms of freaky folklore, uncovering the spine-chilling tales of mythical creatures that have haunted human imagination across cultures and continents. We reveal stories of beings that lurk in the dark, from the infamous Mothman of West Virginia to the eerie cries of Ireland’s Banshee, each a harbinger of doom and a staple of local lore. These tales blend reality with fantasy, where mythical creatures not only foretell death but sometimes take matters into their own hands. Join us for captivating stories and heart-stopping encounters with beings that lurk at the very edges of our perception.

After compiling all the data our team members provided, we are poised to unveil results that are not only unexpected but also mystifying, sparking more questions than they answer. The Estes sessions—where we use audio equipment to potentially communicate with other realms—were conducted simultaneously in Toronto and just south of Ottawa, veering into areas both strangely alien and intensely personal. We can’t wait for you to hear all the details. Margo MacDonald joins us as we review the evidence collected and speculate on what it all might mean.

    Tales From the Tours - Vol. 4 - Old Ottawa Jail

    Tales From the Tours - Vol. 4 - Old Ottawa Jail

    In a recent episode of the 'Geist' podcast, we shared chilling experiences that our storytellers encountered while guiding tours through the eerie corridors of the old Ottawa Jail. Notorious as one of North America's most haunted locales, this site emanates a foreboding air, attributed to its grim history of executions, the harshness of its living conditions, and its imposing stone walls and barred windows. The building's unique blend of history, architecture, and ghostly tales makes it a captivating site for dark history enthusiasts. Although our tours of the jail have concluded, we still have more spooky stories to share. Join us for the 4th installment of our 'Tales From the Tours' series!

Loved it!

I've taken several tours and loved them, so when I heard about the podcast I was super curious. I'm hooked - each one was unique and wonderful. A must listen for people interested in history and the paranormal. This show is so delightfully spooky I can only listen to it during the daytime!
