Giving Up The Ghost

Get The Out of My House! Part 3Sooooo many, many old neighbourhoods in the City of Winnipeg. With it many houses are well over a hundred years old. These same houses served their purpose through time providing shelter to several generations of families. Some of these centurion houses were more than just a residence but a safe place, a home where memories were made for their occupants that are long gone. With time, people pass away but the houses remain. Many endure time through renovations, elements and still stand on the streets of Winnipeg today. However it’s not hard to believe how these cherished homes still contain the energy…..the essence of these former lives and it’s very possible that these departed spirits, return. But whose house is it then? The Living or the Dead? Energy ……..always returns. Join Jas and Sher, Your Audio Curators, who interview St. Boniface Resident Cara who has a few spine-tingling stories of her beloved home that she shares with a spirit. But who could it be? Jas and Sher did

RAMBLESODE Creepy Things for Sale on EBAYOn this week’s episode, your Audio Curators, Jas and Sher are joined once again with their favorite third wheel….Winnipeg’s Best-est First Responder – Jenn, who decided to sit in the PodLounge and keep us on track! Jas and Sher take a look at the peculiar ….tacky…..and downright CREEPY possessions people try to sell on EBAY. Do you believe these are genuinely haunted objects? Do you think the items have somehow brought riches or misfortune onto their former owners? If so why sell it? Why perpetuate the misery? Why? All for the mighty dollar as greed soon parts the innocent who get duped and are thusly parted from their money.Is there any truth to these sale items or just a scam waiting for its next victim? Either way, someone has taken a lot of time to weave crazy yet scary back stories to entice their next sucker. Enjoy today’s episode and thanks to ALL the dedicated listeners and the new ones as Giving Up The Ghost has now reached some awesome milestones. Thank you.

Her resident ghost has lived there even longer, as Judith’s home was built for the pastor of the neighboring church! She’s not too sure who her invisible roommate is, but from time to time it makes sure to let her family know – they are not alone!This week’s episode goes beyond the city limits and takes us on Part 1 of our spotlight on Gimli, Manitoba, known for its extensive and hearty Icelandic heritage. Jas and Sher get the run down on how Judith has had her share of interesting coincidences and ghostly encounters all her life. In fact, several times during the phone interview Judith describes how suddenly her bed started to shift and shake as she was talking to us! Enjoy this week’s episode as it was a delight to talk with Judith and we appreciate her reaching out to us and we hope to have her back on the show to tell us more tales she

Ramblesode Creepy HobgoblinsDo you ever feel like you’re not alone? Do you ever get the feeling like you’re being watched? Has your house mysteriously ever cleaned up itself?Then you may be an unwitting host of a Hobgoblin! Dobbie isn’t just a character in a multi-billion dollar purchasing empire – he’s a known type of Hobgoblin rumoured to exist ! Hobgoblins are like little elves but you have the good (cleaning your House), the bad (will attempt to eat your pets) and the ugly…..just plain ugly! If you see one you may even describe it to have alien features. Some are believed to inhabit the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky, making abandoned mine shafts their home! Jas and Sher, your audio curators discuss the legend and folklore that the Hobgoblin myths (?) are based on. You decide if this is all poppycock or perhaps the descriptions of actual encounters. The ladies also talk about the infamous stories of Hopkinsville, KY where sittings are rampant, as well as a newer documentary called ‘Hellier’ by para-inv

Disembodied Voices of St. Andrews Church On this week’s episode, Jas and Sher discuss the known rumours and spooky campfire tales of the infamous spirits residing at the St. Andrew’s Church. The province of Manitoba’s oldest operating Church is located on River Rd in the tranquil, yet beautiful St. Andrews community where it has a fantastic view of the Red River that it dutifully has watched over since 1831. Tales of glowing red eyes, rattling gates and a mysterious woman in white with a man dressed in black that seem to wander the graveyard, has been around for decades. Teens have been known to trespass after dusk for the thrill of attempting a ‘Withershin’ in hopes to disappear! Jas was able to interview a new listener, Kelly Dreadful, who contacted us with several amazing paranormal stories’ but tonight we delve into his very authentic experience that many soon won’t forget. Sit... back relax ….and leave the lights on! You’ll think twice the next time you hear the name ‘St. Andrews Church’.For more informa

The Infamous Demon HotelSensationalized rumours or simply people that checked in an dtheir ghost refused to check out? You be the judge. On today’s episode, Jas and Sher discuss the legend that burnt to the ground in downtown Winnipeg in 2017. Some say it was the home to a demonic cat lady that led people to their death while trying to lure them to help in aiding one of her stray cats. Others talk of the devil worshiping and derelicts that lived in the building that was to be condemned as inhabitable. Some say it is the place where unspeakable deeds were done and as a result it collects many spirits whose faces are seen in the windows screaming out as their souls are trapped in hell. How much of this is true? How much is made up? Hard to say, however your Audio Curators share a few tales of the building that was at 44 Hargrave Street.

The Horrific Dugald Train DisasterThis week is a very, very sad episode. Our Audio Curators, Jas and Sher, discuss that pivotal night September 1st 1947 in Dugald Manitoba which is infamously known as the Dugald Train Derailment. Through an error of timing two locomotives from opposite directions smashed head-on, killing 31 people. It traumatized the survivors, and mentally scarred the area residents that tried to come to the aid of the burning, dying and screaming passengers. At the time it was Canada’s worst railway disaster; still the worst in Manitoba history. But then again, the victims of the crash may still be roaming the rail area in the afterlife, searching for loved ones not realizing they themselves have passed. A tragedy that lives on in a sequence of residual hauntings; apparitions, smell of kerosene and thundering noises of locomotives colliding in the night…..for eternity.

Ramblesode Demon Conjuring Games NOT to PlayJas and Sher, love the unknown but there is a fine line. They know that there are tools to use as a conduit to connect with the dearly departed however be certain when you use such tools it just acts as a gateway for all spirits to enter, not just those you are searching for. Its like a door that should never be open. Like Ouiji Boards- very unpredictable. This week, the first official episode of the new year, Jas and Sher, our audio curators discover those harmless ‘childhood’ games designed to connect with demons…..supposedly.

The Legend of KrampusSt. Nicholas’s ying to his yang. You can’t have good without bad and why should bad children benefit from getting gifts from Santa? They need to repent….they need to pay for their wicked behaviour!!! Back in the day, all the rotten children were told the tale of Krampus – Santa’s evil – devil looking brother who roams the Germanic Europe landscape looking for devious children to carry away and punish….beat with a birch sticks….and / or possibly drown and sometimes……. drag to hell – that should learn them into good behaviour. Jas and Sher celebrate this Christmas episode by talking about the character known throughout Europe as the infamous ‘Krampus’.

The Historic German Society BuildingOn this week’s special episode leading up to our ‘Special’ Christmas surprise for next week – we thought we introduce you to the very, very, cool and even older Building at 121 Charles St now home to The German Society of Winnipeg (www.gsw.com) since 1953, but before that it was the Hebrew Free School (Talmud Torah) built in 1912 and among 3 of the best Talmud Torahs in North America. So much History and soooooo many spirits that remain in the building today – but who is there? Jas and Sher wonder. It is a Jewish teacher from the beginnings, former students that do not school is no longer in session or could it be an enthusiastic Deutschland partygoer that is attending a continual Oktoberfest in the ethereal. Everyone loves a good bratwurst and lager? Am I right? Ziga Zaga Ziga Zaga – OY ! OY ! OY!

Legend says Wendigoes hide among the trees in the forest and prey on the emotionally, physically and mentally weak for a tasty snack.Is this the distant cousin to the Skinwalker or a completely different creature all together?

Where do we go when we drift off to sleep? Is this something we can control? Can we check up on friends and family by leaving our bodies at night and then safely return?

More commonly known as De Sotos – this location has seen its share of changes over the last century but most recently in the last 30 – 40 years had become a nightspot staple also referred to as Cheaters, Lock Stock & Barrel, Johnny G’s and now as The Dogwood Café. Once among printers row, this building at 171 McDermott Ave, located in the Exchange District holds a lot of mysteries, as well as stories handed down from generation to generation about the young dancer who died in its elevator shaft while the building was a dance hall the 1920s. Many employees christened the Ghost as ‘Margaret’ – was that out of reference or did someone know of the origins to the true hauntings? There’s nothing documented on this address, but a location
