Episode 29 - When it comes to Halloween, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Carving pumpkins, trick or treating, or maybe dressing up. Dressing up as a terrifying monster perhaps? Some usual creatures that pop up this time of year might include vampires, werewolves, and even ghosts. Monsters that are simply make-believe and purely fun for the season, right? Well, what if I told you that there were places and stories within Canada that point towards these things not being made up and are in fact real. In this Halloween special we are going to talk about the legends of the vampire, the werewolf, and a possessed doll, all from the great white north.
