About this listen

In this episode, we delve into the Great Amherst Mystery — one of Canada’s most terrifying and well-documented cases of poltergeist activity. In the 1870s, a quiet home in Amherst, Nova Scotia became the centre of violent paranormal events focused around 18-year-old Esther Cox.

Witnesses reported unexplained fires, loud bangs, levitating objects, and physical attacks on Esther. The events attracted media attention, investigators, and even sceptics, yet no one could fully explain the phenomena. Was it a hoax, hysteria, or genuine supernatural torment? We revisit the chilling accounts, diaries, and theories behind a haunting that still puzzles experts to this day.
