Please be aware the stories, theories, re-enactments and language in this podcast are of an adult nature and can be considered disturbing, frightening and in some cases even offensive. Listener Discretion is therefore advised. Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I'm your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, frighteningly imagined creatures, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries but I promise, all sorts of weirdness. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma.... And on today's Dark enigma well today I'm doing something I haven't done in a while, a Two For Tuesday – mostly because they are short and sweet stories! So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Vampire that will be a single shot and every time I say children, that will be a double shot. Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today's dark enigma… so don your witchy hat, your Kilt and let's dive into our offering today of The Bizarre Case of the Witch of Baldoon and The Strange Tale of the Gorbal's Vampire of Glasgow, truly ambitious; three of my favorite things, Witches, Vampires and Scotland…. So let's go, and we'll be starting with the witchy-poos! Although it is a pleasant expanse of rolling fields today, the area of what is now known as Wallaceburg, Ontario, was once a wild, untamed land, first settled in 1804 by the brave souls who risked their lives to carve out an existence along the rugged wilderness of the Snye River. The small settlement that would become Wallaceburg was called the Baldoon settlement, tucked away in this forbidding realm of harsh winters and perched on the edge of unexplored wilds as far as the eye could see. It was to this fierce place that a farmer named John McDonald and his family came in 1829 from Scotland to try and make a new life for themselves, but their story would go on to become one of the greatest tales of the paranormal in Ontario history, their dream turned to a nightmare.
In 1804 a group of Scottish immigrants settled in modern day Wallaceburg, forming The Baldoon Settlement. One of the young settlers eventually grew up, got married, and built a house on a coveted plot of land. In 1829 his family began experiencing a series of disturbances that lasted for years. Witnessed by many, and heavily documented, the legend of the Baldoon Mystery still lives on as a memorable and disturbing piece of Southwestern Ontario's history.Don't forget to check out our Patreon link to join and get a bunch of really wicked cool perks!Connect with us:Patreon - www.patreon.com/howtonotgetkilledInstagram - @howtonotgetkilledTwitter - @H2NGKWebsite - www.howtonotgetkilled.comEmail - howtonotgetkilled@gmail.comSources:http://www.windsorscottish.ca/ed-folk-baldoon.phphttps://skeptoid.com/episodes/4426?gclid=CjwKCAjw3qGYBhBSEiwAcnTRLj8x9HX2uTEEpA2t2fvNQ5uysPzAV23g6kp4M0F3l2vldHDHoheBoCMMYQAvD_BwEhttps://hauntedwalk.com/news/the-baldoon-mystery/https://thesarniajournal.ca/eerie-baldoon-mystery-story-refuses-to-give-up-the-ghost/Content Warning: Explicit Language.
