Why are Canadians afraid of ghosts?
Canada’s paranormal roots run deep. We tell ghost storiesaround flickering campfires and share unexplained encounterswith family and friends. Yet our polite, risk-averse nation often buries these experiences, rarely encouraging them in theplaces we live or in our arts and entertainment. Fear of stigmaand discomfort with the unknown — especially death — keepthe supernatural in the shadows. We allow only flirtations withghosts, ghouls, and goblins, mostly at Halloween.
Eerie Whispers explores Canada’s haunted history, drawingfrom the diverse folklore of its immigrant communities and thetraditional stories of Indigenous Peoples. It asks why Canadians, unlike Americans or the British, are reluctant to celebratethis part of our culture. Brian Baker encourages us to embracethe uncanny and find the courage needed to amplify our nation’s supernatural voice.
