Strange Truths and Tall Tales: Product of Newfoundland

26 episodes
3 days ago
We tell all kinds of stories from Newfoundland, Canada but the ‘strange and unusual’ is our sweet-spot. You’ll hear true-life accounts of death-defying courage, tales of horrible sea monsters and stories of murderous mummers. Alongside the history and folklore, we chat with modern-day storytellers who stop by to talk about their work. It’s a bit like ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ meets ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ Strange bedfellows?  Definitely. It’s fun though. So, spend some time with us unravelling ‘the yarns that knit ya'.

The Black Stag (Halloween Special Pt. 2)

Halloween is getting closer and Newfoundland has no shortage of seasonally appropriate stories.

This instalment features an old folktale set near St. Bride’s, NL. It concerns a strange black Stag seen on the roadside and a series of unexplained deaths that plagues a family soon afterward.


Continuing on with the theme, I share some legends of other ghostly creatures from Newfoundland, starting with the headless ghost dog of Elliston.
