This week we dive into one of Canadas most famous, and violent poltergeists! was Esther Cox plagued by a paranormal entity? Or was it all a hoax conjured by her and her family? SOCIALS, MERCH &…
Well, James, since it is Canadian Thanksgiving, I wanted to keep this week's episode in Canada.
It's been a little while since we've done an episode based entirely in Canada, so I figured we'd bring it back to our home.
And of course, it's spooky season, so I wanted to bring you something spooky from our home country.
Tax rates.
Arguably scarier, but still, this fits the theme better than tax rates.
Today, we have a listener submission.
Oh, do we? We do.
Today's submission is from Etienne, a listener who gave us this one and thought it was perfect for our spooky season episodes.
I got a story for you.
It is the winter.
Walter Hubble is an interesting guy.
He's an actor, he's a writer, and he's got a vested interest in psychic research.
And he has heard stories over the last few weeks of something plaguing the small town of Amherst, Nova Scotia.
And it's not something plaguing the whole town, but something plaguing one girl in particular that's created such chaos that the whole town is in raves about it.
He goes to a small cottage on Princess Street, the home of the Teed family, and enters the home to meet with a young woman, Esther Cox.
Now, even though Walter is into psychic research paranormal phenomena, he is a skeptic and he has heard stories of this poor girl being contorted, her body swelling like a balloon, objects floating around the house and moving.
fires starting, and even objects disappearing and reappearing without any explanation.
Accompanied by all these things are loud bangs and knocks and rustling all throughout the house.
But it's not just the people in the house reporting it.
The people around town can hear what's happening as well.
And he's going there to prove that there is a reasonable explanation to all of these happenings.
But he doesn't realize what he's walking into.
He's walking into something that will make him a full-fledged believer in the paranormal.
