Season 2: The Great Weird North

Episode 12b: Newfoundland and Labrador

The stories from Newfoundland and Labrador continue with Part 2 of our home province. Here, we’ll share stories of heroes and legends from the Newfoundland Rangers to the rescue of almost 200 Americans from their shipwrecked Truxtun and Pollux by civilians in a small outport community to the possibly supernatural origins of Father Duffy’s Well. Then, we are so proud to bring you folklore and tradition specifically from Labrador. Ever hear of the evil polar bear the Nanurluk? What about the tradition of Nalujuk Night? You better watch out, you better not cry or you’ll face the Nalujuk on Old Christmas Day.
