Along the way she has taken people into the shadows, uncovering the macabre tales that linger in the darkness and inside some of the most haunted houses, hospitals, prisons, and more.

Haunted Canada: Ghost stories and the unexplained

William Lyon Mackenzie King was Canada's longest serving Prime Minister. He was leader of the Liberal party for 29 years and Prime Minister for a total of 22 years, and steered Canada through the Second World War, yet he had a well-kept secret.
Forever a bachelor Mackenzie was a spiritualist who kept in contact with his long departed mother. He often attended two seances a week when he was in Britain, and communicated with other dead relatives, with his predecessor, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, with the late President Franklin Roosevelt, and even with Pat, his departed Irish terrier.
Today, you can still encounter him and his mother should you visit Laurier House in Ottawa.

The Prince of Wales Hotel

The holiday season is upon us and one questions is always present..
Have you been naughty or nice? Depending on your answer you'll either be rewarded or you'll find a much more frightening fate will be upon you, and no, it's not a lump of coal.
For centuries, disobedient children in Austria and other Alpine countries have faced a truly terrifying Christmas consequence for their misbehavior — a dreaded visit from Krampus.
If you've misbehaved Krampus can be heard before he can be seen which makes him even more frightening.
The joyful sound of sleigh bells will be replaced by something far more sinister: the menacing clanking of rusty chains accompanied by the eerie tinkling of cowbells.
So be good for goodness sake because Krampus is coming to town.

The Stanley Hotel

The Fairmont Château Laurier in Ottawa, Ontario, is Canada’s most lavish and elegant hotels.
Just steps from Canadian Parliament, the granite and white Italian marble building was designed in French Renaissance and neo-Gothic style and built in 1912 for $2 million.
Despite its romantic appearance, several deaths have allegedly occurred in and around the hotel, those souls seem to be trapped with the hotel and encounters, including disembodied voice singing, brushes with unseen hands, and doors opening and closing have all been experienced.
Because of this the Fairmont Chateau Laurier​​ has gained a reputation where ghosts can be encountered and when you visit you might be lucky enough to meet some of those visitors that never left.

Its walls have been witness to the tragedy of The Titanic and The Halifax Explosion.

Five Fishermen Restaurant

New Brunswick is the location for today's destination. St. Andrews By The Sea is a quiet and quaint seaside community near the U.S border in Maine.
The small town was the centre of justice, local government and professional services for Charlotte County, including the Fundy Isles.
Among the picturesque homes is a a small grassy hill. That is where you’ll find the Charlotte County Gaol Provincial Historic Site. 
It is adjacent to the white Charlotte County Court House which is a well preserved mid-nineteenth century Maritime courthouse sits a hard granite building with a dark exterior and metal bar windows.
The jail on the other hand is a cold and ominous-looking structure meant to keep people in while terrifying all who gaze upon it.
It is in stark contrast to what was once the centre of community activities such as elections, fairs, parades, and official visits.
It is also where from 1867 to 1957, twenty-six men were executed including Tom Roland Hutchings who it is believed still haunts the cell he once inhabited.

Georges Island, Massachusetts

It’s a summer night in 1998. Vienna, Austria. And petty thief Daniel Blanchard is about to carry out the heist of a lifetime. Stealing a crown jewel. The last remaining diamond Sisi Star.
His plan? A daring night-time parachute jump.
Daniel is no ordinary thief. His heists are ingenious, meticulously planned; his escapes from the law defy belief. And Daniel knows that if he can get his hands on the star, it will launch him into the criminal big-leagues.
Daniel’s exploits unleash a relentless game of cat-and-mouse, as police track him across continents yet vanishes from their grasp. 
What he doesn’t know is that the Sisi Star has a history. A dark history. Its original owner, the legendary Empress Elisabeth of Austria, used it to carve her own legacy of absolute beauty and power. That pursuit drove her to her very limits. 
And now Daniel’s fate is fixed to that same star. But how long can Sisi’s star stay lucky for Daniel? 
This is A Most Audacious Heist – it’s the story of a master thief, an intercontinental manhunt, and the jewel that changes everything.

Introducing: A Most Audacious Heist - Shoot For The Moon | 01

From 1835 and up until 2013, it housed some of the most dangerous criminals in Canadian history, but now it's deserted.
As you walk through the metal gates, nervous laughter ripples through you.
Footsteps echo through the hallway and rooms, which still have graffiti on the walls.
The vaulted heart of the prison has a brick-laid ceiling which is truly remarkable. A central dome connects four cell block buildings.
If the walls of the Kingston Penitentiary could talk; they would tell you of these notorious criminals and share with you the eerie history of murders, and violent riots.
They would also tell you of the many spectral being still trapped inside.
