The Some Weird Podcast

This is their weirdest episode to date! Join Crissy and Barry for the spoooooookiest ghosts and haunted places of Newfoundland. They go back to Bell Island to see how WWII era Germans and the fairies worked to create the legend of the Ghost of Dobbin’s Garden. Then, back to St. John’s to visit The Duke of Duckworth and The Four Sisters which are considered to be a couple of the most haunted locations in North America’s oldest city. Throw in a ghost from one of Newfoundland’s many resettled communities, a completely fictional ghost in one of Memorial University’s residence houses and some strange happenings during the recoding of this episode and you’ll see why they scared themselves.
