Spirit Switchboard-Exploring Canada_s Reluctant Paranormal History - Brian Baker

Spirit Switchboard Episode #137 Dec. 5th, 2025 Exploring Canada's Reluctant Paranormal History with Brian Baker Join us on Spirit Switchboard for “Exploring Canada’s Reluctant Paranormal History with Brian Baker” as we dive into his debut book, Eerie Whispers. We will unpack why a country filled with haunted locales, strange encounters, and lingering legends often shies away from its own ghost stories, and explore how these buried tales shape our national identity. Expect thoughtful conversation, eerie true accounts, and a fresh look at Canada’s uneasy relationship with the unexplained. Guest Bio: Brian Baker is a Toronto-based journalist, author, and founder of The Superstitious Times, a digital publication dedicated to exploring Canada’s paranormal lore. For more than fifteen years, this University of Toronto alum has been digging into the stories we tell about ghosts, cryptids, UFOs, and high strangeness, with a reporter’s curiosity and a deep interest in how belief shapes culture. His debut book, Eerie Whispers: Exploring Canada’s Reluctant Relationship with Its Ghostly Lore, examines why a country rich in haunted history and supernatural folklore so often keeps those stories in the shadows, and invites Canadians to embrace their uncanny side.
