Canadian SPIRIT

The conversation with Voice actor and paranormal enthusiast David Ault continues with thoughtful insights on "Learning to see" and other fascinating topics!

I'm asking my Raccoonadians to help make a fellow creator's dream a reality.

Heartglass is a supernatural thriller that explores life, death, and the system that binds them. It’s a mind-bending journey where characters are trapped in a cycle of existence, seeking to break free. Filled with flawed characters in an occult western with a cosmic horror flair.

What if I were to tell you that our leader during World War 2 was just as crazy about the Paranormal as I am?? Well..I'm telling you. I'm telling you right now.

Stay tuned to your feeds because I have some special stuff coming your way. You won't want to miss it.

In This episode, Kelly dives into the Weyburn Mental Hospital. A treatment facility for mentl illness in Saskatchewan that operated from the 1920s until the early 2000s. What happened there? Oh, just lobotomies, human experimentation and THE BIRTH OF MK ULTRA!!!

In this episode, Kelly reads 3 stories recorded from indigenous folklore about shapeshifting wolf people, and reflects on the cultural signifigance, and overall comparison to werewolf stories we hear today.

Just an update after a month of Radio Silence.

On this very special Episode I will read for you three horror stories that I have prepared for the spooky season.

WARNING:

I'm not big on Trigger Warnings, but the tales herein are extremely disturbing. If you are sensititive to

-War

-Graphic Imagery (Including burning people)

-Extreme violence.

-Violence against children

-Drowning or deep water.

Take extra caution while listening to these stories. Happy Halloween.

In the 1950s, Canada became the first country EVER to publicly admit that they had spent millions of dollars to research the Flying Saucer phenomenon. That project was Project Magnet. Led by an ingenious electrical engineer who sought to fuck bitches, hunt aliens, and solve the flying saucer phenomenon. I cover Wilbert B. Smith, Project Magnet, and the INCREDIBLY WEIRD saga that followed, this week on Canadian SPIRIT.

in this spirit sidebar, i get pretty personal. Linkin park has long been a favourite band of mine for decades and the controversy over their return to the music scene has prompted this response. If you're sensitive on the topic of suicide, maybe sit this one out.

In the depths of the Shuswap Lake - legends say that a strange looking monster makes its home there. Reported sightings throughout the last two centuries seem to give it credibility. But does it? And how does this all tie back to My Little Pony?

Find out this week on Canadian SPIRIT.

Since the 1920s, a ghost train has captured the hearts of the boring province of Saskatchewan. Some say it's the ghost of a damned train, while others say it's railworkers who died servicing the tracks. But, what could it REALLY be? Kelly takes on this enduring legend of the phantom locomotive this week on Canadian SPIRIT.

I share my thoughts on just what a civil war in the West will look like.

Part of Lue Elizondo's book got leaked and I'm Fuckin' mad about it.

Today, Kelly is joined once again by Junior Investigator Puckwudgee as they investigate the claims of one Georges Dupuy that he, and a small hunting party encountered a Dinosaur in Canada's Artic in 1908. Is it possible that these terrible lizards still inhabit such barren and desolate places of our nation? Or, is it all just a made-up story? Special Thanks goes out to The Mystery Frequency podcast!

In this unscripted debut of SPIRIT Sidebars, I talk about Swiss Tech Company FinalSpark and their questionably ethical biocomputers and what that might mean for the fate of humanity.

"I loved it, most accurate representation yet thank you so much for accurately representing Granger" - Rob Keller.

This week I tackle a case that's been on my mind since the podcast was first conceived. Granger Taylor was a mechanical genius of Duncan, Vancouver Island who, after claiming he spoke with extraterrestrials, vanished from the face of the earth. The official story is that he committed suicide, but in this shocking report I (either bravely or stupidly) go against the official narrative set forth by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

This episode has the real potential to get me into trouble. But I feel Granger's story needs to be told. Buckle Up, Raccoonadians. This one gets wild.

Trigger warnings: Suicide, drug use.

In this emotionally charged episode, Kelly covers three disasters in Alberta that have led to the reported hauntings of all three sites.

The Frank slide of 1903, The Hillcrest Mine Disaster of 1914, and the Bellevue Mine explosion of 1910.

Do the ghosts of those lost in these disasters still wander the Crosnest Pass? Or, are the echoes of the past sometimes meant to be left unsolved?

Huge thanks goes out to Andee and the crew over at the Frank Slide Interpretive Center. You can learn more about these sites at https://frankslide.ca/

Kelly takes his son on a paranormal journey and examines not one, not two, but THREE cases of the supernatural from around Canada. From the Fort Macdonald Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta to the UFOs of White Rock, British Columbia. Does Puckwudgee have what it takes to be a paranormal investigator? And more importantly, DO Ghosts eat Bananas? Find out on this episode of Canadian SPIRIT.

This investigation has gotten even more dangerous.

I've uncovered historical documentation that the raccoon alien menace has infiltrated world governments and have been puppeteering our world leaders for decades.

I fear I am not safe.

On May 20, 1967, Stefan Michalak experienced something truly otherworldly that in turn, turned his world upside down. In this special report, Kelly examines Canada's most famous UFO Mystery and closes out Season 2 of Canadian SPIRIT with some special announcements.

In the many, many underground tunnels of Cabbagetown, Toronto there may or may not lurk a strange, hideous beast. What did Ernest see that day and how does it relate to VIKINGS?! Find out this week on Canadian SPIRIT's Triumphant return!

Is Canadian SPIRIT Dead??

Today, Kelly takes a deep dive into Near Death Experiences! Do they suggest that maybe there IS an afterlife? That there ARE Angels and Demons? That worlds exist beyond our own?

This episode is brought to you by Magik Spoon - Not to be confused with magicspoon.com

In the depths of Thetis Lake on Vancouver Island, a strange, reptilian monster is said to dwell. Waiting to terrorize teenage boys who dare swim in its watery abode.  Or... Maybe not.

On This episode, Cap'n Kelly takes us on a journey to a body of water between 3 provinces to seek out the fabled Ghost Ship of Northumberland Strait. What's the story behind this cursed sailing ship that bursts into flames? Why hasn't anyone figured out for over 200 years what the identity of this ship is? Was it a merchant vessel? Was it a schooner? WAS IT PIRATES??

Well, in this very nautical episode, Kelly may have solved this Mystery. The Identity of the Ghost Ship if Northumberland strait is revealed. 

On September 1, 1974, Edwin Fuhr of Langenburg Saskatchewan was swathing Canola on his farm at 10:30AM when he saw something that would shock the community, and shake the world. 

And now Kelly is reporting on what he found from this nearly forgotten UFO Case. It has shrieking violins, It has a raccoon rant, it has everything that you love about Canadian SPIRIT. 

Are Vampires Real? Do the bloodthirsty undead walk among us at night? 

Is Super Producer Squishy a Vampire? Also, Canada has Vampires???

In this special Halloween Episode, Kelly narrates his three favorite stories from the legendary horror author, Edgar Allan Poe. But Not in his usual mediocre storytelling way. 

Today, Kelly sits down with Jay to talk to him about his sasquatch sighting, and other paranormal events. We also settle a long standing debate in cryptozoology: The shape of Bigfoot's Dick! 

Do you like ads? Do you like fake companies that don't really exist, but somehow have advertisements on your favorite shows? 

Well, this is what you want to hear. All Ad. No Podcast.

OK that's not really true. Kelly plays all the "Infauxmercials" from Canadian SPIRIT and explains the inspiration or origin of each one. 

Don't miss us too much, you guys. We'll be back soon.
