Bonus Episode: The Dirt of Death – Cursed Soil, Murder Energy, and the Haunting Legacy of the Pickton Farm

In this haunting bonus installment of Dark Mind Detective, Marc shares a chilling, deeply personal experience—standing on the cursed remains of the Pickton pig farm during a candlelight vigil with members of the Indigenous community.

Though the farm is now a fenced-off field, the air is still thick with something heavy, something unnatural.

What begins as an emotional reflection unfolds into a disturbing journey through environmental corruption, occult folklore, and Vancouver’s darkest secrets.

This episode reveals a little-known horror: the Pickton family’s contaminated topsoil business, which sold earth mixed with industrial waste and human remains across Metro

Vancouver—into gardens, school grounds, parks, farms, and even playgrounds. Not only was the soil carcinogenic, but in many traditions, it would also be considered cursed earth—the kind used in black magic, graveyard rituals, and ancient war spells.

  • The emotional weight and spiritual unease felt while standing at the Pickton crime site.

  • How soil from Expo 86—a former industrial dump—was laced with lead, cadmium, dioxins, benzene, and human body parts, then sold to the public.

  • The occult uses of graveyard dirt in hoodoo and black magic: from doom oil to goofer dust.

  • Cultural legends of cursed lands:

    • Plague pits and haunted battlefields in European folklore.

    • The badlands of South Dakota, soaked in ancient sorrow.

    • Execution fields and mass graves believed to carry “murder energy.”

  • The concept that murder and trauma can contaminate the earth, infecting those who walk upon it or grow food in it.

  • The eerie possibility that this wasn't just industrial negligence—but ritualistic dispersal of energy from a killing field.
