The Canadian Gothic uncovers Canada’s most mysterious, unusual, and fascinating stories.

The show dives deep into true crime, unsolved disappearances, paranormal encounters, and bizarre events using a blend of meticulous research, archival audio, interviews, and firsthand accounts.

Each episode, whether a standalone mystery or part of an ongoing series, offers a richly woven narrative that brings Canada’s most enigmatic cases to life.

Nighttime

For this Canadian Gothic Halloween special, we gather around a crackling campfire for a night of true ghost stories.

Jordan, Madelayne, and Aaron trade the studio for the open air to listen to chilling, unexplained, and sometimes heartfelt ghost stories sent in by listeners across the world.

From haunted accommodations in BC and Newfoundland, to a hockey puck dropped off by a deceased friend, these are stories told by those who lived them.

KEEP CANADA WEIRD - 183 - 2025/10/10 - Cameras, girl guide scammers, the gander Airport

In 2006, a construction crew in Saskatoon unearthed a barrel hidden in an abandoned well, containing the preserved remains of a young woman murdered a century earlier.

For nearly twenty years she was known only as The Woman in the Well, as police tried facial reconstructions, DNA testing, and countless appeals for clues.

With the help of investigative genetic genealogy, her identity has finally been revealed: Alice Spence, a seamstress, wife, and mother.

This episode of Canadian Gothic traces Alice’s life, her erasure, and the modern science that brought her back into memory.

KEEP CANADA WEIRD - 182 - 2025/10/03 - APPLE CHAOS, MYSTERIOUS DUST, CHERRY BLOSSOMS RESELLERS

In July 1996, Blair Adams left his home in Surrey, British Columbia, convinced someone was trying to kill him. Over the course of just a few days, he emptied his savings and safety deposit box, attempted to cross the U.S. border multiple times, and made a frantic, illogical journey that ultimately led him to Knoxville, Tennessee — a city where he had no known ties.

There, his body was discovered in a construction site parking lot under bizarre circumstances: his pants had been forcibly removed, his socks were turned inside out, and thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, and jewelry were scattered around him, untouched.

In this episode, we retrace Blair’s final days, follow his chaotic path across borders and states, and examine the theories surrounding one of the strangest unsolved mysteries of the 1990s. Was Blair fleeing someone real — or something only he believed in?
