Spirits, Witches, & Demons
In 2022, I started exploring podcasting. After trying out three different podcast names, gaining some followers, and creating great content, I decided to walk away at the end of 2023. After a year of self-discovery, I realized I needed to share what I had learned.
In phase one, I named my podcast "Let's Haver." The word "haver" means to babble, a term from Scotland (maybe also Ireland) and Newfoundland, but it didn’t feel right to me.
In phase two, I chose the name "From Cape Breton: It's Saturday Night!" This felt a bit better as it aligned more with my vision for my brand and podcast. However, over time, I recognized that it still didn't capture my true voice. I am passionate about helping people, sharing stories, and giving my perspective and insight, whether it's asked for or not.
The third attempt to rebrand myself and my podcast, I am renaming it "Bartender on Wheels." You might be thinking, "What is that?" I understand; it may seem messy. But please bear with me through these growing pains.
The name "Bartender on Wheels" comes from my time as a tour operator in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. While driving guests around, I heard their stories—their successes, sorrows, and frustrations. Sometimes they asked for my advice or opinion. That’s when I started calling myself a 'Bartender on Wheels' because I listened to many confessions, much like a bartender in a local pub.
Finally - here we are! My growth, discovery, exploration, whatever it was.... led me to where I started as a toddler...Spirits, Witches, and Demons! I have been seeing spirit since I can remember (as early as age 3). I have had many experiences with the paranormal, and metaphysical, and for decades I kept myself blocked, forced myself to keep the skeptical side alive, and thought I was crazy. Once I finally allowed myself to connect, to be open to the possibility that I am NOT crazy - that I am connecting to spirit, I have been fully connected! Now I want to assist others, I want to share my experiences and journey and I hope it helps someone out there get their journey started.
Are we ready for this new chapter? I will kick things off with a few episodes about my self-discovery journey and where things are now.
Earlier episodes are available for entertainment (and mine, too!) on my YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@barbarageddes9390). I’m keeping the same email for now until I am sure this is the final name or if I need to change it again.

2001 - The Wendigo Part 2
This week, I will conclude the spine-chilling story of my encounter with a Wendigo, a creature steeped in chilling legend and folklore. It’s a true tale that lingers in my mind, haunting me even now as I grapple with its reality. If you are captivated by the mysteries of the unknown, the unseen, and the utterly unexplainable, then you are truly my kind of people.
Join me today as I recount the harrowing moment I stood face to face with this legendary being. I'll share not only the terrifying details of that encounter but also the profound and lasting impact it had on my life in the wake of that fateful night. Prepare yourself for a journey into the eerie depths of fear and fascination as I unveil the unforgettable events that transpired when I came face to face with the Wendigo.
Welcome to the new version of my podcast. I started this podcast in August of 2022. The first 3 attempts were part me and part forced material. I try my best not to curse, but sometimes it slips and so I caution my material may not be for children.
Spirits, Witches, & Demons is the new and improved Podcast featuring content that focuses on local stories, information, reactions, and education about all things metaphysical.
Come back weekly for your entertainment.
