Owen and Judith engage in some espionage in a bid to see what Claire and Adam are like in public, calling in a favour with a rich frenemy. What could go wrong at a fancy party? Hang on, I’m getting a note that says “lots of things.” So, lots of things could go wrong. Whoops.

16: ACQUIESCE

Ever since Judith’s lifelong best friend, Claire Sterback, inherited a house from a biological family she never knew, things have begun to change. Claire has begun to change. It isn’t just that the house is full of cryptic notebooks, ominous scribblings on the wall, and has a basement that is colder than it should be. It isn’t just that Claire abruptly up and left her live-in boyfriend and is now being stalked by a psychopathic realtor. Claire is… off. As she gets closer to a secret at the heart of the old house in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, she is also getting closer to losing herself. After Claire goes missing - with the help of co-worker-turned-friend-Owen - Judith vies to track her down, even if it means diving into a history that may have been better left untouched.

PARKDALE HAUNT: THE POST-MORTEM (Part 2)

Well hello again.
It's been one year since the end of the show, so Alex, Emily, and Ian decided to sit down one more time to answer some outstanding listener questions, reflect on the series, and give a little insight into what's coming next...
This is not a spoiler-free zone, so if you're new here, this might not be the best place to start. Also, we also talked for way longer than we originally expected, so this is Part 1 of 2. Surprise!
Featuring the musings of: Alex Nursall, Emily Kellogg, and Ian Boddy.

PARKDALE HAUNT: THE POST-MORTEM (Part 1)

It's the holiday season, and the light of the street lamps are dim in the thick snow that blankets the city. Toronto can be cold in the winter, but sometimes you come across a case that makes your blood turn to ice. Everything changed the night she walked into my office, and there's no going back now. The nights just keep getting longer and, sometimes, it feels like they're only getting darker...
