    Unexpected Eclipse Results Revealed

    In our last episode, we invited you to join us in a chilling experiment during the recent total eclipse—and you didn’t disappoint. After compiling all the data our team members provided, we are poised to unveil results that are not only unexpected but also mystifying, sparking more questions than they answer. The Estes sessions—where we use audio equipment to potentially communicate with other realms—were conducted simultaneously in Toronto and just south of Ottawa, veering into areas both strangely alien and intensely personal. We can’t wait for you to hear all the details. Margo MacDonald joins us as we review the evidence collected and speculate on what it all might mean.

    Tales From the Tours - Vol. 4 - Old Ottawa Jail

    Tales From the Tours - Vol. 4 - Old Ottawa Jail

    In a recent episode of the 'Geist' podcast, we shared chilling experiences that our storytellers encountered while guiding tours through the eerie corridors of the old Ottawa Jail. Notorious as one of North America's most haunted locales, this site emanates a foreboding air, attributed to its grim history of executions, the harshness of its living conditions, and its imposing stone walls and barred windows. The building's unique blend of history, architecture, and ghostly tales makes it a captivating site for dark history enthusiasts. Although our tours of the jail have concluded, we still have more spooky stories to share. Join us for the 4th installment of our 'Tales From the Tours' series!

Makes me want to travel to Canada

Real ghost stories with a traditional childhood high quality delivery - like you find in a walking tour! Always with a gentleman like approach that we equate with Canada! This business haa struggled thru the pandemic as their walking tours in three locations in Canada were put on hold! This podcast is very professional, good old fashioned scary fun.

Makes me want to plan a trip in my Sprinter Van to Kingston, Ottowa or Toronto ( I’m from Orchard Park outside Buffalo) for a visit - this pandemic makes us all nostalgic about the journey we’ve made it thru!

Great Research and Lots of Fun!

I’ve been listening for a couple years now I guess, and I have really enjoyed it. I love the historicity behind the stories in particular. Also I loved the summer series back in 2019 where they interviewed various ghost tour companies from all over. Lastly, the hosts voice just sounds great. Thank you for the podcast!
