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.

He was a familiar face on Winnipeg television. Confident. Charismatic. The kind of broadcaster viewers trusted to deliver the news each night.

Some even called him “Winnipeg’s Sexiest Man.”

But years after leaving the spotlight, Steve Vogelsang would reappear in headlines for something very different: a string of bank robberies across the Canadian Prairies.

In this episode of Canadian Creepies, we explore the strange and unsettling fall of a local media personality whose polished image hid a very different reality. From newsroom celebrity to convicted bank robber, Vogelsang’s story raises deeper questions about image, ego, and the power of charisma.

How does someone move from studio lights to surveillance footage? And how much of the persona we celebrate is carefully constructed?

Because sometimes the most convincing performance… isn’t on television.
