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.

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.
For centuries across the globe, human beings have crafted tales of The Little People. The Wee folk, The Fae and more. But what legends persist in Canada? A surprising amount, actually. Elves, Dwarves, water spirits, and . . .pleasure foxes? Yeah, she's a weird one this episode. Check it out on Canadian SPIRIT.
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.
Starting in 1830 - The MacDonald Family began to experience unexplainable supernatural events on their farm in Ontario. A vengeful . . . something . . . seemed to be out to cause great harm to the family. So what was it? Buckle up, Raccoonadians because this one is a WILD RIDE. Witch hunters, Sabbath orgies, and more await you in this exciting episode of Canadian SPIRIT
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/
What was Alchemy? In this episode, Kelly dives into the history of the medieval science and how it could MAKE YOU IMMORTAL? And how it's still practiced TO THIS DAY.
