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.

On a quiet stretch of abandoned railway near St. Louis, Saskatchewan, a mysterious light has puzzled witnesses for generations.

Some believe it's nothing more than distant vehicle headlights bending through the landscape. Others see it as something far stranger—a modern example of the mysterious lights that have appeared in folklore around the world for centuries. Local legend tells of a headless railway conductor, forever searching the tracks with a lantern in hand.

Is the St. Louis Light a trick of the eye, a natural phenomenon, or a ghost story that refuses to fade?

Join Amanda Joy as she explores the history, folklore, and competing theories behind one of Saskatchewan's most enduring mysteries.
