Weird Distractions

The London Grand Theatre & Tranquille Sanatorium (Feat. Selene from Not Always Polite Podcast)

Listen Later

Weird, but sad and interesting - what a introduction! This week, Alex & Christie are joined by Selene, host of Not Always Polite Podcast, to chat paranormal locations in Canada. Selene takes the girls to London, Ontario, to chat about the London Grand Theatre where true crime, paranormal stories and some local lore meet. Alex finishes things up by going to Tranquille Sanatorium near Kamloops, British Columbia. Christie is just here for the underground, spooky tunnels. You might want to pull out your, "nope" button as there are definitely some spooks and scares in this crossover episode!
