This is Episode 8 “The Covid-19 NL Oral History Project with Dale Jarvis”. In this episode, I talk to Dale Jarvis about creating an oral history record of our experiences living through the Covid-19 pandemic. We discuss how our students can participate in the project. Dale also talks about how he started the Haunted Hike, the stories he likes to record in his books and the book he is currently working on.

Dale Jarvis is an author, folklorist, and storyteller, and is the Intangible Cultural Heritage Development Officer for HeritageNL, where he helps communities save and document traditional culture and skills.  The owner of the St. John’s Haunted Hike ghost tour, Dale loves ghost stories, supernatural stories, legends, and traditional tales from Newfoundland and beyond, and has written six books on local folklore.
