Canadian Creepies
Welcome to Canadian Creepies—the podcast that digs into the dark corners of Canada’s past and present. Your hosts Valerie, Ali, Amanda Joy ( host of Down the Crooked Path), and sometimes Kyle explore the true crime cases that haunt us, the paranormal encounters that make us question what’s real, and the unsettling folklore that lingers just out of sight. From cults to cold cases, ghosts to government cover-ups, we don’t just tell the stories—we ask why they still matter. It’s creepy. It’s Canadian. And it’s probably going to keep you up at night.
