Strange and Undecided

Episode 48 — During the frigid months of February 1970 in the little town of St. Catharines, Ontario, something went bump in the night. And it was observed by people who were trustworthy members of the community—police officers. And not just one but multiple. They officially reported strange activity, such as loud knocking sounds, objects flying off shelves, furniture tipping over, and even a bed lifting off the floor. These events continued for several days before suddenly stopping, and although investigators looked for natural explanations, no definitive cause was ever confirmed. This case is regarded as one of the most documented paranormal encounters in Canadian history. Tonight, we are going to look at the case and determine why this event remains unsolved to this day.

Canada's 1970 Famous Poltergeist Case--HISTORICAL NIAGARA SHORTY

Episode 47 - On the night of March 17, 1995, something strange happened in the quiet lakeside city of Pickering, Ontario. Six teenage boys vanished mysteriously due to unknown circumstances that continue to haunt families, investigators, and true crime buffs. Despite extensive searches, multiple leads, and decades of speculation, no definitive evidence has ever explained where these teens went or what truly happened that night. Parents waited for sons who did not come home. Friends assumed someone else had heard from them. Police initially believed they were simply runaways. But as weeks turned into months and months into years, one chilling question refused to go away: How could six boys vanish — and no one know why?

Episode 45 - This story is about an indigenous settlement near Angikuni Lake in Nunavut, Canada that was reported to have vanished entirely without a trace. This report comes from a fur trapper who visited the village only to find no one was there. Huts, personal items of value, and food was left behind. Even a fire was still smoldering in front of a hut. It was as if they simply vanished into thin air. But is this story rooted in fact or fiction and why is there such controversy? In this episode we will examine the story and how it has evolved over the years, turning from an obscure newspaper report into a widespread legend.

Episode 43 - On November 10th 1975, the largest ship on the Great Lakes sailed into one of the worst storms Lake Superior had ever seen. The ship attempted to make it to shore in Whitefish Bay but ended up vanishing without a trace, never reaching its destination. The SS Edmund Fitzgerald, considered the pride of American inland shipping, was lost along with twenty-nine crew members. At the time nobody knew what happened to the ship as it had simply disappeared. It was eventually found a few days later at the bottom of Lake Superior split in two parts. What happened to the boat and why did it sink the night of November 10th? To understand this event and the tragic loss of life we must first look at the life of the ship, its final voyage, and the fury of the storm that claimed her.
