Two Chilling Tales from Haunted New Brunswick (with Steve Vernon)

An October phone call inviting Steve Vernon, my favorite local horror author, to appear on Nighttime has become a Halloween tradition. For the fourth year in a row, He agreed to share his tales of terror and bloodshed. The plan we came up with was similar to prior years, but with a few twists. I got the idea during a recent walk through a nearby forest, while lost in both my headphones and the twisting trails, I happened upon an abandoned and long overgrown hunting type shack that I thought would be a perfect spot to drag Steve and my mobile studio to. To take full advantage of the ambiance of an old growth forest, I asked Steve he he would pull some stories from a prior story collection he released called Wicked Woods; Ghost stories from Old New Brunswick. Steve Vernon did not disappointment. In this episode, you will hear two chilling tales from haunted New Brunswick written and read by my friend and my favorite Horror Author, Steve Vernon.

Jerome, the Mystery Man of Sandy Cove (with Fraser Mooney Jr.)

Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia, 1863 As far back as recorded history can take us, we see the inhabitants of the land presently called Nova Scotia maintaining a strong connection to the waters that surround them. Forestry, Fishing, Tourism, and recreation. The Atlantic’s waves crash against all aspects of our lives. it’s not a surprise that the Atlantic Ocean also plays a role in many of Nova Scotia's most enduring mysteries. In this this episode, our story involves mysterious strangers arriving to Nova Scotia’s shores by way of the Atlantic Ocean, but in this case they didn't crash land in a UFO, and they seem to bury any treasure. All they did was desert a speechless, legless man on a beach in the Digby area of Nova Scotia. Who he was, why his legs were cut off, and how exactly he came to arrive on the beach... are all questions that have gone unanswered in the 150+ years since his sudden arrival. Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by author Fraser Mooney Jr. Our topic is Jerome, the mystery man of Sandy Cove.

The Toronto Van Attack - 3 - Alek Minassian is Guilty

Although Canada is no stranger to murder, madness and mayhem, we have been very fortunate to have largely avoided the type of mass murders and shootings that have become common fixtures in other countries with similar cultures to our own. On April 23, 2018, Younge Street in Downtown Toronto was the setting of an event that many Canadians had taken comfort in thinking could never happen here. 25 year old Alek Minassian hit the gas and jerked the wheel of the rented cube van he was driving forcing the vehicle onto a busy sidewalk. For several city blocks Minassian used the vehicle to target pedestrians, killing 10 and injuring 16. In this episode of Nighttime, I am again joined by my best friend Scott to continue our discussion of the Toronto Van Attack. For the third part in this series, our focus is on the judge's decision in the case against Minassian.

The Toronto Van Attack

**This episode was original released April 29, 2018** Although Canada is no stranger to murder, madness and mayhem, we have been very fortunate to have largely avoided the type of mass murders and shootings that have become common fixtures in other countries with similar values and cultures to our own. Sadly, just days prior to recording this episode Younge Street in Downtown Toronto was the setting of an event that many Canadians take comfort in thinking could never happen here. In this episode, I'll be joined by my best friend Scott to discuss the April 2018 Toronto Van Attack.

The Bell Island Boom - 3 - Cynthia Bickford's Eye Witness Account

The Nightcap after show episodes are typically only available on the premium feed When one imagines the setting for a story involving experimental weapons, international espionage, unexplained aerial anomalies, and cold war anxieties... they probably aren’t picturing a tranquil island in Newfoundland. But, there is no imagining about it, Bell island, Newfoundland, is just that. This all stems from a still unexplained aerial explosion that rocked the skies about the island, and set in motion a series of bizarre events that seemed pulled from the pages of a science fiction novel. The entire ordeal still leaves those who lived through it scratching their heads, but one thing is without question, for a moment in 1978, Canadian and American defense satellites detected more light reflecting from this island than what was seen during the bombing of Hiroshima and we aren’t certain why.

The Dark Side of Jury Duty (with Mark Farrant)

A very small number of Nighttime listeners have served on a jury, but many more know someone who has. Regardless which side you fall on, chances are the trial involved was fairly mundane and unremarkable... but that’s not always how it happens. Think of someone you know, perhaps a painfully innocent aunt. What happens when they get assigned to a case involving some of darkest evidence imaginable? how do they get through it? how do they cope? and who picks up the pieces after the verdict is delivered? Very few are better positioned to answer those questions then our guest Mark Farrant. In 2014, a letter arrived at Mark’s door indicating he was in a pool to serve on the jury for an upcoming murder trial, and to put it simply, he hasn't been the same man since. The trial was that of Farshad Badakshan, a man accused in the horrifically brutal killing of his girlfriend. The graphic details Mark was immersed in had left him with the crippling symptoms of PTSD and to make matters worse, laws that serve to provide jurors privacy have made it nearly impossible for mark to get treatment. This has been the fuel for one of Canada's fiercest advocates for the rights of Canadian jurors. In this episode, Mark will share both his experiences with the dark side of Jury duty and his efforts to make things better for future jurors.

the Story of Holly Bartlett

In life Holly Bartlett was a conqueror. Born with a condition that would lead to complete vision loss, Holly refused to allow her blindness to prevent her from living life to it's fullest. She had an active social life, a career, an education, and a network of friends and family that looked to her as an inspiration. But, all the good things that were happening in Holly's life came to a screeching halt on a cold night in March of 2010. After spending a night out with friends, celebrating her upcoming graduation, Holly was found gravely injured in a nearly inaccessible area underneath a downtown Halifax bridge. the police investigation into the circumstance that would lead to her injuries, and in turn her death, was surprisingly fast. The Police believed the death was accidental, however... it seems they are about the only ones that feel that way. Holly's friends, family, and supporters have been very vocal about their dissatisfaction with the police investigation of Holly's death. An investigation many call at best, flawed and at worst, derailed by an ignorance about living with blindness. In this episode we will be joined by Maggie Rahr (host of What Happened to Holly Bartlett) for a discussion about a case that will make you scratch your head, and make you scream.

Was it a Sasquatch in Pictou County, NS?

**This is a rewritten and remastered version of a 2015 episode** In 2015, When I first launched Nighttime, One of the first requests I made to listeners was for story ideas that took place in, or in some way involved, the forest. The first response I received, lead me to this episodes story. Myles MacKenzie sent me an email sharing the story of an animal encounter he and some high school friends had in the woods of Pictou County Nova Scotia. Actually, "Animal Encounter" is a bit of and understatement. Don't roll your eyes before you hear the story but, Myles and his friends, they believe they encountered the legendary Bigfoot. It happened back in 2003, when Myles and a few members of his track team were running sprints in the dense woods of the Green hill provincial park. Whatever the group encountered, it wasn't like anything they nor their coach had experienced before or since. Nor was nothing they would ever forget. Tonight in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by both Myles MacKenzie as well as his high school track coach, his father Stephen MacKenzie. Our Topic, will be Pictou County's surprising history, with Bigfoot.

The Murder of Daniel Levesque - 2 - Losing Daniel

Aug 2011, Victoria, BC When 20 year old Daniel Levesque moved from small town Revelstoke, BC to the comparatively big city of Victoria it was to pursue his dream of finding a career as a performing musician. Tragically, Daniel would only get a handful of weeks to make things happen as his time in Victoria, and the dreams that brought him there, would be snuffed out by the manager of the convenience store Daniel had taken a job at. That manager, Josh Bredo, befriended Daniel and weaved an intricate web of lies that played off Daniel's kindness, generosity, and his trusting nature. The lies would finally catch up to them both when Daniel showed up what he thought was Josh's condo, in what he expected to be an orientation for a new career as a legal secretary for Josh's mothers law firm. Instead, Daniel found betrayal. There was no orientation, no job... there wasn't even a law firm. There was just the manager of the 7/11 eleven, a man Daniel thought to be a friend... but he couldn't have been more wrong. In this two part series, Kristi Lee of Canadian True Crime and Jordan Bonaparte of Nighttime will collaborate on the telling of this story that should make anyone with a respect for justice scream. In part one, Kristi provides a narrative account of the twists and turns in this heartbreaking story. In Part two, Jordan will take part in an in depth discussion with Daniel's mom, the inspiring Stacey Thur.

UFOs Above Canada - 5 - The Canadian Government and UFOs (with Matthew Hayes)

After releasing the prior episodes in this series, outlining my son's ufo event and the MUFON organization, I've heard from listeners curious if (and to what extent) the Canadian government is involved in the reporting and investigation of UFO events. In this episode of Nighttime I'll speak to someone well positioned to tell us all about our governement's surprising history with the UFO phenomena. When Trent University PHD Candidate Matthew Hayes was considering a topic for his doctoral dissertation, he found inspiration late at night while exploring one of the many rabbit holes a google search for "UFOs" found him in. When Mattew happened upon an archive of Canadian Government documents related to UFO reports, he found his field. Matthew Hayes' has spent years collecting, analyzing, and trying to understand the history of the Canadian Government's relationship with the UFO mystery.

UFOs Above Canada - 4 - Reporting the 2018 Dairy Queen UFO Event

When considering the next topic to cover, I turned to the UFOs Above Canada facebook group for recommendations. As I took note of the many great ideas the group members shared, something else that caught my attention. Two people from opposite corners of Canada posted details of their recent UFO sightings. The reports were different in nearly every way, but had one commonality. Each solicited help identifying the anomalous object and requested advice on where next to turn. Immediately this episode's topic, Reporting a UFO, was the obvious next step, but I never expected it to show up on my doorstep the way it did. Just as I began research for this episode, the gods of podcasting and whomever controls the strange objects in the sky saw to it that I would get a person lesson in UFO reporting. In this episode, I'll share the story of my 5 year old son Dominic's recent UFO sighting, our experience reporting it, and share the findings of the investigation that followed.

With this episode being the first in this series, it only makes sense to tackle the most misunderstood three letters in this entire field… U.F.O. In this episode the foundation for the series will be established by asking UFO writer MJ Banias the surprisingly complicated question "What is a UFO?"

E

You've probably come across advertisements for local sex workers. These are the ones that usually feature a semi nude girl with their face partially obscured and an invitation to make contact for… "a good time". When considering 'Who are these girls?' I've always been somewhere between puzzled and ignorant… until now. As it turns out, Halifax is home to the independent VIP escort MsManda and she agreed to tell me all about her life, her sex work, and a bunch of other stuff that made me blush.

They thought of themselves as the Three Musketeers. Three teenage girls selling themselves for sex on the Hollis Street stroll in the mid 1980s.

Halifax's Black Rock Beach is home to many dog walkers, bike riders, and picnic enthusiasts, but the site's history is far darker then those casually strolling through may realize.

the Story of Eligio 'Natureboy' Bishop - 2 - The Rise of Natureboy

In the prior episode we heard from Sunray who described her decision to covertly leave Canada to join a Costa Rican based spiritual group. While her explanation provided a better perspective to view her role in this story, the questions I had surrounding the group's other prominent figure remained piled high. Throughout the media's coverage of this event Natureboy was portrayed as a villainous cult leader who held control over a brainwashed Kayla, however I quickly realized he was far more complicated than that. Over the course of two episodes, I will use excerpts of my conversation with Natureboy in attempt to answer the question I've been asking… Who is Natureboy… and how does an American model turned stripper end up leading a religious group in Costa Rica? In 'The Rise Of Natureboy', I will cover his life as Bishop, and end with his spiritual awakening as Natureboy. A follow up episode, 'Natureboy and his Etherians' will continue with his decision to leave the United States and lead up to the present day.

the Story of Eligio 'Natureboy' Bishop - 1 - Kayla Reid's Short But Strange Disappearance

When 20 year old Newfoundland resident Kayla Reid went missing, it was suspected that she had traveled from her home in Corner brook to the province's capital city of St John's. Two weeks later, when she turned up on Youtube using the name Sunray in a video filmed far from the rocky shores of Newfoundland, the story changed from a missing persons case into something much more unique. In the days that followed, the media would facilitate a back and forth battle between the people calling for Kayla's return and the Costa Rican cult she now called her family. In this episode, we will hear the timeline of this unique story and hear from Sunray who recently returned to Newfoundland.

The Shag Harbour UFO Incident - 3 - Exposing the Mystery (live in Halifax with Chris Styles)

It's 1967, seventeen year old Laurie Wickins and a car full of friends witnessed a series of lights travelling just above the tree line. While in clear view of the witnesses, the object appeared to descend sharply ultimately crashing into the dark waters of Shag Harbour. When Laurie phoned the RCMP to report what he thought to be a downed aircraft, he was met with doubt, but when five similar reports quickly follow every RCMP officer in the area is dispatched to Shag Harbour’s shoreline. As the RCMP officers arrive, joining the crowd of witnesses at the shoreline, one this was certain...there is something illuminated on the water and it appears to be sinking. This event, commonly referred to as Canada's Roswell, Is considered by many as the most compelling UFO event in Canada...if not the world.
