Canadian Legends & Monsters: What Lives in Crescent Lake, Newfoundland?
ParaGhoul Paranormal: Discoveries from the DarkShow Notes
In this episode, I’m talking about Cressie, a lake monster that people say lives in Crescent Lake near Robert’s Arm in Newfoundland. From what I could find, the stories go back at least to early newspaper reports, loggers on the water, and even much older Indigenous stories about water spirits in the area. I walk through some of the reported sightings from the 1930s, 1960s, early 1990s, and 2000s, along with a few theories about what people might actually be seeing. Giant eel, drifting logs, misidentified animals, or maybe something we just don’t fully understand yet. We also talk a bit about why lake monsters show up so often in Canadian lore, and how tricky it really is to prove or disprove anything in a deep, murky lake. If creatures and quieter horror are your thing, you might like my novel Coma, which you can find at kdkulpa.com/writing.

For a building that played such a major role in Gravelbourg's history, College Mathieu is surprisingly quiet. In this episode of What Haunts Saskatchewan: Investigating Gravelbourg, I dig into the history of one of Saskatchewan's oldest French-language educational institutions. From its roots in the fight to preserve French education to fires, wartime buildings, and decades of community history, College Mathieu has no shortage of stories. What it does seem to be missing are ghost stories. Or does it? As I continue the investigation, I explore what I uncovered about the college, the few leads that have surfaced so far, and why some buildings seem to attract legends while others remain strangely silent.
After releasing my investigation of the Convent of Jesus and Mary, something unexpected happened. The stories kept coming. What began as a search for answers inside one of Gravelbourg's most famous landmarks is quickly growing into something much larger. Reports are now emerging from across town, including stories connected to the hospital, College Mathieu, the old monastery, the Gaiety Theatre, and private homes. In this episode of What Haunts Saskatchewan: Investigating Gravelbourg, I share the latest leads, explore two new reports of unexplained activity in local homes, and begin asking a bigger question: Could the stories in Gravelbourg be connected to something larger than a single building?
For more than a century, the Convent of Jesus and Mary has watched over Gravelbourg.
