Canadian Legends & Monsters: Jos the Canadian Lumberjack Legend (S2EP57)

Before Paul Bunyan swung his axe, Canada had its own towering lumberjack legend — Joseph Montferrand, better known as Big Joe Mufferaw.

Tonight, we’re heading deep into the Ottawa Valley to uncover the truth behind the man who supposedly fought off 150 men using one of them as a weapon. From the real Shiners’ Wars and bridge brawls to tall tales that grew into folklore, we’ll separate fact from fable and explore how this French-Canadian hero became one of the country’s most unforgettable legends.

If you love eerie history and homegrown myths, this one’s for you.

Canadian Monsters & Legends: The Shrieks of the Dungarvon Whooper (S1EP30)

In this episode,  we are travelling to New Brunswick, which is in eastern Canada, for listeners who don’t know. There is a river there, called the Dungarvon River, which has an interesting legend or ghost story at least that I hadn’t heard of before.

The Dungarvon River is located in central New Brunswick. It is connected to many lakes in the Miramichi Highlands, which is also part of the Appalachian Mountains, which is an interesting little fact. Apparently, it isn’t easy to access the Dungarvon River, as there are limited roads to the area, because it has such thick forests. However, some people have been known to fish along the water, as Atlantic salmon is known to pass through the river.

The Dungarvon Whooper (‘hooper’) is a ghost story about a tragic incident in the middle of a lumberjack camp in the 19th century. First, let’s dive into the story shared since the late 19th century.This is a question I sometimes receive in my inbox from those who want to start paranormal investigations, so let’s talk about it! I will also create a download based on the information I’ve collected, sort of a paranormal investigation guide, that you can download on my website if you’re interested.
