Season 2 Launch: Haunted SK Listener Collection – Stories from the old GMC Plant (S2EP41)

In this season premiere of ParaGhoul Paranormal, we’re kicking off with a deep dive into one of Regina’s most iconic and eeriest landmarks: the old GMC Plant.

Once a booming automotive hub and later a wartime munitions factory, this building has lived many lives… and we could say, it still holds onto them.

From its roaring 1928 opening to its mysterious 2017 fire, we explore the plant’s rise, fall, and the ghost stories that have emerged from its long, shadowy history, including tales from the old CJTR radio station that once called it home.

Was it just the creaks of an old building… or something more?

Season 1 Finale and Wrap Up (S1EP40)

Tonight marks an amazing milestone – we are officially on the last episode of season 1 of ParaGhoul Paranormal. I can’t believe that we are already on our 40th episode together – we’ve had 14 amazing guest episodes, some of which were two-part episodes because we had too many good stories to stop on time. We also covered 8 urban legends or monsters from Canada’s history, 8 episodes about the history of the paranormal industry, including the evolution of ghost gadgets, and 9 local Saskatchewan haunted histories and experiences.

What will be coming in season 2, you may ask? That’s what we are talking about tonight, so let’s get started.

Canadian Legends & Monsters: The Great Amherst Mystery (S1EP39)

In this episode, we are returning to the Canadian Legends and Monsters theme before we wrap up season 1. Have you ever wondered about whether there have been incidents of poltergeist activity within Canada?

Although we might not have as many stories of intense poltergeist activity as the United States or even Europe, that doesn’t mean it never happens. So I found a story from the late 1800s that takes place in Nova Scotia, where a young woman was plagued with supposedly poltergeist activity or possible possession after a tragic event. So turn down the lights and come with me to 1878 in Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Canadian Legends & Monsters: The Loup Garou of Quebec (S1EP26)

In this episode, we are travelling to Quebec this time! We are revisiting another segment of the Canadian Legends and Monsters. So, turn off the lights, light a candle, and step back with me to the mid-1700’s when a werewolf, also known as the Loup Garou in French, was said to arrive in Quebec.

Canadian Legends & Monsters – Hunting for Bigfoot in British Columbia (S1EP16)

In this episode, we are talking about those big, hairy giants that have been part of legends and stories for years. In Canada, they are known as the Sasquatch. In the US, they are known as Bigfoot. And in the Himalayas, they go by Yeti. No matter what you call them, we are going to be unpacking the research I found on where this mysterious creature came from.
