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.

One night, British man George Hayward had a dream that felt different from the rest.

In it, he saw his brother in danger. The dream was vivid, unsettling, and anchored to a place he had never seen before — a remote stretch of land in Canada.

When he woke, he told his family the dream felt disturbingly real.

Days later, the news arrived.

George’s brother had died in Canada… and the circumstances appeared to match what George had seen while he slept.

The dream had come before the family received word of the tragedy.

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we explore the strange story of George Hayward’s Dream, a case often cited in discussions of precognitive dreaming and unexplained human intuition. Was it coincidence, subconscious pattern recognition, or something we still don’t fully understand?

Because sometimes the most unsettling mysteries arrive quietly — in the middle of the night, while we’re asleep.

And sometimes, the mind seems to know something before the world does.

🌱 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.
