050 - After the Lights

Send us a text, tell us your canadian creepy!In this episode, we step into a world shaped by nightlife, power, and silence tracing the movement between Detroit and Windsor in the 1970s and the lasting consequences that followed.Drawing from The Queen’s Daughter, this episode focuses on what came after: the work of telling the story, reclaiming agency, and pushing back against systems that were never designed to protect young women. Through writing and advocacy, Melissa McCormick confronts the culture that allowed harm to flourish and asks difficult questions about accountability, survival, and whose voices are believed.This is not a story told for shock value. It’s about memory, resilience, and the long road from silence to speaking out.Listener discretion advised.✨ This episode also highlights the work of Niagara Reproductive Justice (NRJ)— Learn more or support their work by visiting their social media or emailing [email protected]. Your next creepy obsession starts here. Follow Down the Crooked Path—your cohost for this haunting crossover—for eerie explorations that linger long after the episode ends:📸 Instagram: @downthecrookedpath▶️ YouTube: Down the Crooked Path🖤 Ghoul Gang, we've got double the creep for you today!📸 First up: Darkroom Photography, based in the Niagara Region.
