The Dagg Poltergeist

from Canada is Boring

A haunted farmhouse, flying furniture, mysterious fires, missing butter—and a ghost with a potty mouth. In this Halloween episode of Canada Is Boring, Rhys Waters and Jesse investigate the Dagg Poltergeist, an unsettling 1889 ghost story from Pontiac County, Quebec. The Dagg family’s reported paranormal activity escalates from strange disturbances to a voice claiming to be the devil. Artist Percy Woodcock visits the farmhouse to investigate, while the spirit changes its story and, eventually, promises to leave. What did the witnesses say they saw, and what might explain this Canadian haunting? Rhys and Jesse also talk ghost stories, poltergeists, paranormal theories, folklore, and cultural beliefs about spirits, before switching gears to DIY tables and Jesse’s AI-assisted experiment with scammers.
