Canadian Legends + Monsters: The Kingston Park Built on 10,000 Graves

In this episode of ParaGhoul Paranormal: Discoveries from the Dark, I explore the unsettling history of Skeleton Park in Kingston, Ontario. Today it looks like a peaceful green space, but beneath the grass lies the former Upper Burial Ground, a cemetery where as many as 10,000 people may still be buried. First established in the early 1800s as the Garrison Burying Ground, the cemetery expanded as Kingston grew, eventually holding soldiers, local residents, and immigrants who died during devastating outbreaks of cholera, typhus, and malaria. By the 1850s the burial ground had reached capacity, and by the 1890s the neglected cemetery was converted into a city park. While some remains were relocated, thousands were left behind, with headstones flattened and soil placed over the graves. Over the years, frost heaving and construction work have occasionally uncovered bones, helping the park earn its lasting nickname: Skeleton Park. With so many graves beneath the surface, it is perhaps no surprise that the area is also said to be haunted. Visitors have reported ghostly women wandering the park, children appearing and disappearing, strange mists, whispers, and the feeling of being watched.

Canadian Legends & Monsters: What Lives in Crescent Lake, Newfoundland?

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.

Guest Appearance: Inside Haunted Canada with Joel A. Sutherland

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.
