060 The Barbara Stoppel Case Part 01 Artwork

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.

Today we begin The Barbara Stoppel Case.

It’s a story filled with frustration, missteps, and twists that don’t sit right the deeper you go. This is Part 01 of a case that raises a lot of questions and doesn’t offer easy answers.

This week’s Creep of the Week is Bob Gale, following controversy surrounding the ownership of a signed copy of Mein Kampf while serving as Niagara Regional Chair.

And for the first time, this case was researched by Christine, and we’re so grateful for the depth and care she brought to it.

This one… is a lot.
