This week’s episode, our audio curators Jas and Sher discuss the legend of Skin Walkers! Possibly the creepiest topic covered to date and the perfect Ramblesode to start off Halloween week. This week we will release an episode every night leading up to our Halloween Special – ‘Get the F*%# Out of My House’ airing Thursday, October 31. This is a continuation to true stories of firsthand experiences of people living in haunted Winnipeg Houses. But today, sit back…..keep the lights on and try not to get too creeped out on learning more about the Navajo legend that is told of Navajo witches that can take on the form or shape of another animal for the type of job they have planned. It’s usually carried out by an evil witch that practices dark arts and is paid to bring harm onto another by any means necessary. It is said they prowl the forest and on occasion can be heard crying out – freaking anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity and quickly leave the area as the screams are not that of a human or an ani

Apparitions sighted at The Park Theatre The Best for last – Part 3 – The Park Theatre Hauntings, Jas and Sher discuss the rich history and back story of The Park Theatre and along with that Jas had the opportunity to interview the owner, Eric Casselman who described his experiences with the paranormal that can’t exactly be explained. ON Sunday Sept 29th, our audio Curators, Jas and Sher had the honour to be part of the 2nd annual MB Podfest. This took place at the Park Theatre. The theatre has been around for quite some time. In fact, with more older locations they usually carry a certain ‘Air’ about them. We didn’t know for a fact if the Park theatre had ever been haunted, or not, we were just spit balling since many of the The Theatres in the City of Winnipeg, are indeed reportedly haunted. We figured that the Park wasn’t any different. Try as we might, and after spending hours and hours on internet deep dives as well as asking around to some trusted sources we have NEVER heard one experience or stories of

It was an honour and a privilege to meet other local podcasters as well as people who are thinking of starting their own and wanted more information on equipment and apps used to make the weekly magic.

However they are recording from the PodCave – the PodLounge’s Twisted Sister – aka Sher’s Place.The Barber House ….also known Winnipeg’s oldest residence and shrouded in heritage, mystery, and MURDER….well not exactly, that’s just a very imaginative rumour that’s been flying around for decades however there have been people that are known to have died in the house and that alone gives it the possibility of being haunted.Jas and Sherrie discuss the rich history and the Barber’s family’s roots that run deep into the Manitoban landscape and also dispel the known urban legends. And be warned…something scarier than ghosts….Jas’s new sound effects app!!!

Paranormal Investigation at Lower Fort Garry Part 3 Finale!Today’s Episode is the Final Part 3 of our Paranormal Investigation we took part of at the infamously haunted Lower Fort Garry with Kristin (Ghost Hostess with the Mostess), Owner/Operator of Square Peg Tours. For this nail biting conclusion we again talk with other people partaking in the investigation and they tell us their own experiences with their HAUNTED HOUSES and paranormal occurrences in the Greater Winnipeg City. For time length, portions of Part 3 were edited down from the 1 hour 50 minutes originally recorded so be assured Kirsten did everything right to give the spirits adequate time to respond to her questions. However, because the most activity happened in the ‘Jail’ at Lower Fort Garry – no editing was done. Have a listen to see if you can hear any unearthly voices, sounds or spirits. The Table Tipping literally has Jas pinned to her seat as you can hear the table legs bending, scrapping against the concrete floor and spirit making th

Ramblesode – Omens & SuperstitionsOn this week’s episode, Jas and Sherrie – your Audio Curators discussed the world of Omens and Superstitions.We all do it…you have certain beliefs that have been handed down to you by your parents or grandparents. Occurencase that bring a forboding warning – ‘Spilling salt brings bad luck unless you throw a pinch of it over your left shoulder;’ ‘A bird flying into your window means someone is going to die;’ ‘Step on a crack; break your mother’s back’Why do we believe in this tom-foolery? What are their origins. Just like everyone has a ghost story….everyone has at least that one superstition they have to follow or be cursed with bad luck or get good luck. What do you believe in?

The Rosalyn Apartments – Winnipeg’s Own Winchester HouseOn this week’s short, yet sassy Episode 33, Jas and Sher, Our Audio Curators are still in the PodLounge and trying to do a deep dive on one of the oldest standing apartment complexes in Winnipeg – Rosalyn Rd/Court Apartments situated on Osborne St. The trouble is for as many ghost stories known to have happened hear to actually find them are very few and far between now a days. Oh, if these walls could talk, imagine the stories the building could tell! Aside from the brilliant architecture there is something else that refuses to fade away as a black shadowy figure has been known to torment its residents. Not everything dies, some linger on.

Ramblesode – Kids Say The Creepiest Things (Past Lives)On this week’s episode, your Audio Curators - Jas and Sher are reunited and it feels so good! And they… Ramble….ramble….about everything and anything. In fact, they derail but in a fun-loving tequila kinda way! This week they discuss how some children seem to have memories they they’ve carried into this life from another life in very specific detail. It kinda makes sense when kids act certain way, or exhibit fears or even certain routines, likes or dislikes that can’t be explained. Life after death possibly does exist and it is comforting to think that our loved ones get another chance at life somewhere else in this world. We are all energy and energy carries forward.

The Ghost Town of Little Mountain ParkMysteries abound in our crazy, creepy, beautiful City of Winnipeg. One of the quietest mysteries is that of a Settlement previously known as Mount Royal. Today this location is more commonly known as Little Mountain Park aka Little Mountain Off-Leash Dog Park, situated off Inkster, North of Winnipeg. Our Audio Curators Jas and Sher have heard about strange locations before but tackle this location that would also be considered a Ghost Town to a Settlement that existed over 100 years ago and thrived with dozens of families living, working and ultimately dying. There seems to be something ‘off’ to many who visit especially near the legendary Cottonwood tree that is so special, it has heritage designation but it’s also known as the ‘Hanging’ Tree. As well Jas and Sher welcome guests to the PodLounge this week – Janet & Shelley!For more information on Little Mountain Park please visit their website http://www.lmppoa.ca The article from which the history was used for this
