    Eerie Whispers: Brian Baker on Canada's Reluctant Ghost Culture

    Journalist and researcher Brian Baker, founder of The Superstitious Times, joins Haunted Talks to discuss his new book, Eerie Whispers: Exploring Canada's Reluctant Relationship with Its Ghostly Lore. Why is Canada, a country overflowing with ghost stories, so hesitant to talk about them? Brian shares a chilling childhood encounter he has never quite shaken, unpacks his idea of Canada as "the introvert on the global stage," and takes us across the country to explore why some regions embrace the paranormal while others keep it at arm's length. We also dive into Toronto's legendary Philip Experiment, where a group of researchers appeared to summon a ghost they invented, raising unsettling questions about belief, storytelling, and what might be shaping a haunting. Along the way, we explore fear, pop culture, and Indigenous perspectives that challenge the very word "paranormal." If you've ever wondered why Canadians are so shy when it comes to ghosts, press play and find out. If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like:  Episode 196 – Spiritualism in Canada, Eh?

    Lizzie Borden: Inside the Murder House 🪓

    She was the quiet churchgoer. The dutiful daughter. The last person anyone expected to wield a hatchet. But on an August morning in 1892, the Borden home in Fall River, Massachusetts, became the scene of one of the most savage double murders in American history. And the name Lizzie Borden became synonymous with murder itself. In this episode, we step inside the Borden home to uncover what really happened—the brutal killings, the family tensions no one talked about, the trial that transfixed a nation, and the enigmatic woman at the centre of it all. Was Lizzie a cold-blooded killer? A victim pushed to violence? Or a scapegoat of Victorian morality? But the story doesn't end with the verdict. The house is still standing. Still watching. Still haunted. Guests report children giggling in the attic. Shadows beside their beds. Their own names whispered from the dark. The murders may be over a century past, but something seems to remain. This isn't just a story about what happened in 1892. It's about a place haunted by violence, a search for justice, and a mystery that will likely never be solved.

    Ghosts on a Plane: The Haunting of Flight 401

    December 29, 1972. A routine flight becomes an unspeakable tragedy when Eastern Airlines Flight 401 crashes into the Florida Everglades. Ninety-six souls perish in the dark swampland, their final moments a desperate struggle against fire, water, and alligators. But for some of the crew, death wasn't the end of their duties. Weeks later, Captain Bob Loft and Flight Engineer Don Repo began appearing on other Eastern Airlines aircraft, warning crews of danger, completing pre-flight checks, and even materializing in overhead bins. The airline attempted to silence the stories, stripping parts from haunted planes in a desperate bid to exorcise the spirits. From the swamps of the Everglades to 30,000 feet in the air, this is one of the most meticulously documented cases of aviation hauntings in history. A story where grief, duty, and the paranormal collide at cruising altitude. Listen now to discover why the ghosts of Flight 401 refused to stay grounded, and what still stirs in the skies above.

From their humble beginnings to their most infamous cases, we explore the uneasy space where faith, fame, and fear collide. Were they true seekers of the unknown, or storytellers who blurred the line between truth and performance until even they could not tell the difference? From Amityville to Annabelle to the Enfield Poltergeist, discover how the Warrens turned the paranormal into pop culture and left behind a mystery that refuses to die.

    A Knock at the Door - The Haunting of the Wizard Clip

    In 1794, a stranger died in a farmhouse on the edge of the Virginia frontier. What followed became one of the most chilling, bizarre, and well-documented hauntings in early America. Phantom horses galloped through the night. Objects flew across rooms. Fires sparked without cause. Clothing was clipped by unseen scissors into crescents, sometimes while still being worn. And then the voice arrived. The Wizard Clip haunting was investigated in real time by clergy, skeptics, and even a Russian prince who had become a Catholic priest. Letters, court records, and land deeds remain. But the most important evidence vanished. In this gripping episode, we unravel a supernatural mystery that changed lives, sparked conversions, and still defies explanation more than two centuries later. Was it fraud, faith, or something far stranger?

    Ep 211 - The Coffin That Saved Three Men From Drowning

    Most shipwrecks leave behind ghosts. This one left behind something stranger. In 1912, the Mayflower, a wooden steamer built for the quiet lakes of eastern Ontario, set out on one final trip before winter. Aboard were a small crew, nine passengers, and a coffin carrying the body of a young man named Herman Brown, on his way home to be buried. As a sudden snowstorm swept across Lake Kamaniskeg, the Mayflower vanished beneath the water in under a minute. Nine lives were lost. Three men survived…by clinging to the coffin. In this episode, we retrace the events of that harrowing night. How a trusted vessel became a death trap. How an elderly woman gave away her only life jacket so someone younger might live. How three Ottawa salesmen drifted for hours through freezing darkness. This is a true story of loss, sacrifice, and impossible survival.

    The Curse That Built a Castle 🏰

    Deep in the wilderness of northwestern Ontario, where the forest swallows sound and the lakes stretch toward the horizon, stands a log castle. Not the ruin of a forgotten community, or the relic of a wealthy eccentric. This towering mansion of timber was built by one man. Working alone. In this episode, we journey to White Otter Lake and step inside the haunting legacy of Jimmy McOuat. A man driven by a childhood curse, a lifelong loneliness, and a defiant dream to prove the world wrong. His creation, White Otter Castle, is part marvel and part mystery. Three stories tall, built by hand, it stands as a monument to obsession, resilience, and the heavy silence of solitude. Yet the castle did not free him. Jimmy's mysterious death left unanswered questions, and for over a century, travellers to White Otter Lake have whispered of strange encounters, eerie sounds, and the lingering presence of its solitary builder. Join us as we step into the wilds of northern Ontario and uncover the chilling legend of White Otter Castle.
