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.

Hooked!

I love hearing Jim’s voice, I have been trying to hear other ghost podcast but I didn’t get hooked as I did to haunted talks, I check ever Friday for new episode! The black creek village tour was also awesome…thinking which one to do next??!!

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!
