About this listen

As the holiday season settles in and the year winds toward its close, Down the Crooked Path is shifting its weekly rhythm. For the next few weeks, our Thursday episodes are taking a brief winter rest. In their place, we’re bringing you a special run of Canadian Creepies every Tuesday—bite‑sized explorations of the strange, the spectral, and the wonderfully weird corners of Canadian folklore.

Regular full-length episodes return in the New Year, but until then, consider these eerie little detours our gift to you.

Tonight, we travel to the windswept prairies of Alberta, where the tracks cut through open land and the past refuses to stay quiet. Locals have whispered for generations about a phantom locomotive that barrels through the night near Medicine Hat—headlight blazing, wheels screaming, and yet… no train ever arrives.
