I’m not a huge believer in ghosts. I definitely fascinated by the possibility of their existence, and I love hearing people’s ghost stories — particularly when they’re first-hand — but I’m one of those people who has to see it to believe it.

Scott and I recorded our tenth episode with writer and journalist Marliss Weber, the second woman we’ve ever had on the show. She would also prove the scariest.
We spent about an hour in the studio talking about hauntings in Edmonton, and boy-howdy, are there ever a lot. We barely started to scratch the surface. And although the three of us agreed that we didn’t believe in ghosts, Marliss’ stories were no less chilling.
We talk a little about the science of spookiness, and then get straight into some of the first- and second-hand tales of fear we’ve experienced or heard. This is an episode not for the very curious, nor for the faint of heart.
Whatever you believe, Happy Halloween to all! If you’re interested in all things spooky in Edmonton this week, check out dEdmonton for Halloween events of all shapes and sizes.
Special thanks to Marliss for joining us on the show, and to listener Daryl Hooke for providing us with a chilling ghost story.

It’s been one of those months. Read the rest of this entry »

You would be surprised how many of our clients ask to have music with auto-play inserted into their websites. I always discourage this line of thinking, but it always seems to come up. Read the rest of this entry »

Where \"me\" means \"us,\" really. This is the home of the Unknown Studio, a podcast based in Edmonton, AB. When we aren\'t casting pods, as it were, we\'re here posting content you\'ll no doubt find riveting and probably mostly apocryphal. But certainly worthy of comment.
