The Haunted House of Waldo, BC

  • Summary

  • Would you live in a haunted house if the rent was cheap enough? That was a question that one couple faced in the summer of 1957. Once a rough-and-tumble lumber town, now a drowned town at the bottom of a man-made lake, Waldo, BC is the unexpected location for this classic story about a haunted house that makes us wonder: when the houses are long gone, do the ghosts remain?

    This is Part Two in a four-part series called Ghost Town Ghosts which explores the phantoms and spirits once said to haunt Canadian communities that no longer exist.

    Fireside Canada is a podcast about Canadian legends, lies and lore.
