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.

Ever wonder who writes the Haunted Canada books that share true ghost stories from across the country? In this episode, I’m joined by Canadian horror author and librarian Joel A. Sutherland, whose work has introduced generations of readers to haunted places, forgotten history, and real paranormal encounters.

We talk about why horror works so well for young readers, how Haunted Canada became one of Canada’s most well-known paranormal series, and the research process behind collecting real ghost stories. Joel also shares one of the most disturbing haunted house cases he has ever encountered, a story that continues to influence his fiction years later.

If you enjoy ghost stories grounded in real places, Canadian history, and thoughtful research, this episode is for you.

If you’re curious about my own work, my novel COMA is a slow-burning, atmospheric horror for readers who enjoy unsettling stories without the gore: https://kdkulpa.com/writing/
