When the Mary Celeste was found off the Azores in 1872, it was immediately clear that something was wrong. The ship was deserted. What happened? Did the crew stage a mutiny? Attacked by pirates? Caught in a storm or some other freak weather event? Stories of this “ghost ship” quickly began to spread around the world, as did the fanciful stories of her fate. Join us as we set sail to explore one of the greatest unsolved nautical mysteries of all time!

Ghost Towns transport us to a bygone era, where stories of hope, hardship, and human endeavour are etched into every crumbling brick and faded sign. These towns were once vibrant communities, thriving on the dreams and sweat of people who ventured into the unknown to build a new life. As time passed and circumstances changed, these settlements met their fate – abandoned due to economic shifts, natural disasters, or the beckoning of greener pastures. As night falls, the creaking of wooden beams, the distant howl of the wind, and the ominous silence remind us that we are not alone in these forsaken places. The imagination dances with phantoms of the past, whispers of footsteps in empty corridors, and the faint echoes of laughter that once filled now-deserted places. 

In the episode, we take a Haunted Talks road trip to explore some of the most interesting and eerie ghost towns in Canada.
