The Baldoon Mystery | 1800s Haunting in Ontario

What this episode covers

In the early 1800s, a quiet farming family in southwestern Ontario found themselves targeted by one of Canada’s most bizarre hauntings. It started subtly, with unexplained noises and objects moving on their own, but the disturbances quickly escalated into something far more violent, destructive, and unusual. Desperate for answers, the McDonald family turned to religion, paranormal investigators, and eventually to a young girl said to possess second sight for a solution. Was the Baldoon Mystery the work of a poltergeist? a curse? a gifted storyteller? Or something else entirely?… that’s a debate has been raging on for nearly 200 years.
