Show notes

As children, many of us have imaginary friends. These invisible entities are usually considered a normal part of growing up. But, sometimes they seem like something entirely different. Possibly even paranormal. In this episode, we will be sharing stories from our listeners about their usual or unsettling encounters with imaginary friends. We also speak with psychologist Dr. Kirk Honda, to understand more about this unique phenomena.

Ep 78 - One Who Saw Dec 27, 2019

Show notes

We conclude our series of telling Victorian ghost stories with an absolute gem. A.M. Burrage's "One Who Saw" is a masterpiece of mood, atmosphere and anticipation. Late one a night, a hotel guest observes a strange and alluring figure sitting in the courtyard. Who is she? And what is her secret?

Ep 77 - The Toll-House Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

We continue our series reviving the Victorian tradition of reading ghost stories aloud during the Christmas season. The Toll-House written by W.W. Jacobs and first published in a book of his short stories in 1909, is unquestionably one of the best haunted house stories in British literature. Featuring special guest narrator, Margo MacDonald!

Ep 76 - The Signalman Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

During the Victorian era, the reading aloud of ghost stories was a very common practice. Particularly at holiday parties and family gathering. Over the next few episodes we will be reviving this tradition. We start with Charles Dickens' other supernatural classic, The Signalman. Which some argue, is the greatest ghost story ever written.

Ep 75 - Boston Ghost Craze of 1878 Nov 29, 2019

Show notes

In April 1878, everyone in and around Boston was talking about the Haunted House on Kirkland Street. The news coverage drew thousands of spectators to come and see the mysterious home for themselves. Each wanted to catch a glimpse of the frightening and unusual activity that had been plaguing the Marsh family. Perhaps more importantly, they wanted to know if there was a body buried in the basement.

Ep 74 - Ghost Ship of Niagara Falls Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

There are few natural wonders in the world as impressive as Niagara Falls. The incredible sight draws millions of visitors each year. The history and culture are also fascinating. The receding glaciers that created the falls. The indigenous communities that long lived in the area. The daredevils who tempted fate. And the many wax museums, haunted houses and other tourist attractions. On Halloween night though, one of the Falls' most compelling stories took an unexpected turn.
