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.

Deep in the wilderness of Canada’s North—where the mountains cut through the sky and the land feels untouched by time—there are whispers of something that shouldn’t exist.

A valley hidden within Nahanni National Park Reserve…
A place said to be warm in the dead of winter.
Where snow refuses to settle.
Where green life thrives against all odds.

Prospectors spoke of it in hushed tones.
Indigenous oral histories echo something strange in the land.
And those who have searched for it… have come back with more questions than answers.

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we follow the legend of the so-called “Valley of Warmth”—a place that may be explained by geothermal science… or may be something far harder to define.

Because in a region this remote, this vast, and this unforgiving…

Some secrets don’t need to hide. They’re simply never found.

🌱 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.
