You would have food and water and you don't know the exact source, even though it's a good restaurant or a hotel." - Aki Shaw, Pharmacist"The thing that these two islands have in common that really made me stop and wonder was that they're both residential school sites. They're both places of a lot of trauma. When this being is said to be a spirit being...there has been a lot of people that have commented how often this being has been seen in cemeteries." - Shanon SinnVoice message: Voice message The PULSE and be part of the podcast!You'll find all episodes of The PULSE Podcast on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, TikTok and YouTube podcasts, as well as PULSECommunity.ca.Click here to learn how to Support the showEpisode Sponsors: Ian Lindsay & Associates, Thrifty Foods Parksville, Windsor Plywood French CreekCheck out Skookum Kid's Stories on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, and YouTube Podcasts, as well at SkookumKids.com.Sign up for our weekly newsletter of new podcast releases and contests!"Like, Share & Listen!"#VancouverIsland, #TravelVaccines, #SasquatchStories, #ParksvilleQualicum, #PulsePodcast, #BCTravel, #VancouverIslandFolklore, #ThePulseCommunitySupport the show
