Podcast Description
It’s time… Halloween-time! Kicking off the Halloween season with a special segment. Not about sexy costumes, or drinking and partying. But the roots of Halloween, in ghosts and superstition. From its Celtic beginnings in Ireland. Being manipulated by religion, and ending up with popular and fun beliefs in the United States of America.
Then, Daniel relives the horror of having his cape tugged during a Custom House Ghost Walk. In the infancy of his Ghost Guide career. Freaking out in-front of a group, and blaming a guest for doing it. But it all makes sense… once you look at the active ghost of that hallway (see cover image).

Frequently Asked Questions
Podcast happenings…
An interesting take on the ghost story podcast. This isn’t done with a spooky voice and jump scares. Daniel believes in ghosts. Spent his career passing along the best stories in Southern Ontario, Canada (and the World).
The Podcast was born out of this passion. It’s a take on his real life interactions with believers and skeptics alike. No ghost subject is off-limits. And yes, there are ghost stories!
About Daniel’s style…
Personable! It’s real talk over dramatics. Raw talk with no script leading into ghost stories told with a unique love of the paranormal.
Gained from 20 years of “ghost guiding”. His style is intense. Pushed out from a place of respect for true paranormal experiences had by millions of people around the world.
This raw talk is what led him to the Podcast. Where else can you be true to your own style without interference.
Daniel’s experience…
20 years in the paranormal world. From being an investigator, to collecting stories… and then to telling them!
He’s been telling tales of dark history and ghosts to large groups since 2003. Continues to this day, with a renewed interest in the traditional art of storytelling.
The Podcast isn’t scripted! Doesn’t mean Daniel sacrifices his style. It’s a challenge he’s accepted many times before … how to mix (in the moment) realism and storytelling to make the stories interesting.
Because if they’re boring, who’d want to listen.
