Canadian Creepies

Welcome to Canadian Creepies—the podcast that digs into the dark corners of Canada’s past and present. Your hosts Valerie, Ali, Amanda Joy ( host of Down the Crooked Path), and sometimes Kyle explore the true crime cases that haunt us, the paranormal encounters that make us question what’s real, and the unsettling folklore that lingers just out of sight.

From cults to cold cases, ghosts to government cover-ups, we don’t just tell the stories—we ask why they still matter.

It’s creepy. It’s Canadian. And it’s probably going to keep you up at night.

At Frog Lake, Cree warriors led by Wandering Spirit killed nine settlers in an event that would become one of the most remembered and misunderstood moments of the North-West Resistance. In the aftermath, Canadian forces retaliated swiftly, and several Cree leaders were executed.

But alongside the official records and military reports, another story survived.

Multiple Cree witnesses later spoke of looking to the sky that day and seeing a figure in the clouds, a man on horseback. Some believed it was a warning. Others saw it as a sign of impending tragedy or divine judgment. Over time, the vision became part of the oral history carried forward by the community.

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we step carefully into the history of Frog Lake, exploring the political failures that led to violence, the consequences that followed, and the story in the sky that refuses to be forgotten.

Because sometimes history is written in documents.

And sometimes, it is carried in the clouds.

🌱 PayYourRent.ca is an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative calling on settlers to engage in ongoing, voluntary financial redistribution in support of Indigenous land defenders, sovereignty, and community well-being.

This foundation supports urgent needs like housing, food security, legal defense, and cultural revitalization—all grounded in the principle that land back also means resource back.

If you live, work, or benefit from life on stolen land, consider learning more or making a monthly contribution at PayYourRent.ca.

Justice isn’t a moment—it’s a commitment.
