    Admiralty House

    Built in 1819 to house the commander of the Royal Navy's North American fleet, Admiralty House in Halifax, Nova Scotia has sheltered admirals, survived the largest pre-nuclear explosion in history, and according to its curator  never lets its dead go.  In this episode of Haunted Canada, Jennifer Gamble, curator of the Naval Museum of Halifax, takes us inside one of Halifax’s most  haunted historic buildings, sharing the real, documented stories behind twelve spirits who remain by choice,  including a servant who died on the staircase, four children who never made it past Christmas 1884, a young mother still watching over her infant son, and a ghost cat that has been spotted since the 1920s.

    The Yeo House

    On the northwestern shore of Prince Edward Island stands a Victorian mansion that has never truly emptied. The Yeo House was built by one of PEI's most powerful shipbuilding dynasties but long after the family was gone, staff and visitors began reporting a woman on the second floor, doors opening by unseen hands, and a whisper in a kitchen where no one stood.  In this episode, Nadine Bailey sits down with Caitlyn Paxson, Programming and Education Officer for the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation, to uncover the dark history, the ghostly encounters, and the mystery of Wheelie,  a worn toy dog found hidden inside the walls of the house, that still moves on its own to this day..

    Mandy, the Haunted Doll

    Deep in the heart of British Columbia's Cariboo Gold Rush country sits a community museum with a sixty-year history — and one very famous resident who has never technically been alive.  Her name is Mandy. She is a cracked-faced composition doll dating back to the early 1900s, and since arriving at the Quesnel Museum and Archives in 1991, she has allegedly made a child faint dead in front of her case, sent a mysterious text message to the museum's new manager on her very first week on the job, and may or may not have burned down the house of a woman who put her magnet in a junk drawer.  In this episode of Haunted Canada, host Nadine Bailey speaks with Elizabeth Hunter, manager of the Quesnel Museum and Archives, about Mandy's haunted history, her national television appearance with psychic Sylvia Brown on the Montel Williams Show, and the night a back emergency door blew open the instant an ex-military investigator told a ghost soldier he was out of uniform.

    Introducing "Hostile History"

    Since the dawn of time, humanity has been at war.  Conflict in one form or another has been part of our existence since we first walked the earth.   In this first episode of a four-part series, join military historian David Borys as we travel back in time to Iran, where we chart how a modern monarchy, which was armed, wealthy, and globally backed, lost control. On our journey, we'll be helped by historian Roham Alvandi from the London School of Economics and Political Science. While conflict and armed rebellion have evolved to look very differently over the centuries, if you want to understand the world today, you need to go back because history doesn't just repeat itself; it echoes.     Learn more about your ad choices.
