Ghosts 'N Bears Podcast
We're a little different than other ghost story podcasts because we tell the actual stories, with the actual ghosts, told by actual bears. As an author and ghost walk guide I have so many stories to share and we can't wait to share them with you.

Ghosts 'N Bears - SE4 EP4- Ghostly Pets and Animals
If you've ever had a pet who has gone on before, you know that sometimes, if you're lucky, they come back for a visit. Not all visits are from your pet however, and some of the see stories of ghostly animals are a little surprising. As someone who has had a lot of pets, I know that there are times, usually just after they pass, that they have come back for one last visit, and that's comforting, but unfortunately we don't get to choose what animals come through. So join us on this episode of Ghosts 'N Bears as we check out Ghostly Pets....and others.

Ghosts 'N Bears - SE4 EP3- The Third Person II
Not very often we repeat this quickly, but we so enjoyed doing that Third person episode, we just couldn't wait to do another one! As T.S. Eliot said in his poem The Waste Land: Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together But when I look ahead up the white road There is always another one walking beside you Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman — But who is that on the other side of you? And that my friends is the point of this episode as we dig up more stories about the Third Person who is there and sometimes in very unexpected ways. It's fascinating and we hope you feel the same on this episode of Ghosts 'N Bears.

Ghosts 'N Bears - SE4 EP1- The Third Person Syndrome
Here's where it all began, I read this caption on the attached picture and thought, wait what? I had heard of this, even experienced it but I had no idea what a wide spread phenomenon it had become and so I knew we needed to talk about it. Are they angels? Spirits? Ghosts? Our own mind manifesting soothing comforts? We really hope you enjoy it and would love feedback as we veer a little off format for this episode of Ghosts 'N Bears.

Ghosts 'N Bears - SE3 EP10- The Annual Victorian Christmas Episode
It's that time of year again my little Christmas angels! We jump back in to the time when ghost stories were a "Christmas Only" kind of thing. The nights were dark, the houses cold and full of shadows and at a rare time of year when the family was together and not working for just one day of the year, there was nothing better than to get the magazines and find the newest and scariest ghost stories in the style of Charles Dickens, at least that's what you did in the 1860's. Join us as we hear two terrifying tales of ghosts, loss, treasure and mayhem that occurred at Christmas's long past, the authors long dead, but their words live on to hold the tradition of making Christmas bright, by making it just a little bit more spooky. Merry Christmas or any other winter festival of your choice and we will see you for the start of Season Four of Ghosts 'N Bears when we come back in February after our break.

Ghosts 'N Bears - SE3 EP8- The Ghosts That Haunt Us
Fear. We've all felt it. Sometimes it's paranormal, sometimes it's not but we all know the emotion. On this very special Halloween episode of Ghosts 'N Bears we talk about our top three most terrifying experiences and what occurred that made us so terrified. THE episode we had planned on doing was a whole OTHER episode but that was taken from us beyond our control and I feel it was very offSIDE. If you listen to the episode you'll totally get the joke in here. So sit back, relax and reflect as we discuss Fear, and the times in our lives we felt it the strongest. We will be back next episode with our usual blend of history and hauntings, but for this episode we're simply going to say....... Happy Halloween!

Ghosts 'N Bears - SE3 EP1 - The Ghosts of The Grouse Mountain Trail
"If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise......" It may not be a GOOD surprise, but it's highly likely that something out of the ordinary will happen once you lock your front door and head out in to nature. Don't drop your guard, nature is often trying to do us in, and in this episode we hear the story of a place that is really "Nature-lite" as it is a popular Urban hike up a mountain that is not without it's own ghosts. Just because we build trails, give cute names to mountains, lakes and rivers, doesn't mean they can't hurt us. The wilderness claims thousands of lives every year and does that energy just "disappear"? We don't think so. Neither do the people who spoke up about the Grouse Grind and the Ghosts of Grouse Mountain, this story can also be found in "Vancouver's Most Haunted" from Touchwood Editions

Including several establishments where you could, for a fee, spend some quality time with some very friendly ladies. The Brothel on Broad street was one of those places and the brothel owner we are focusing on is Stella Carroll. Is it her ghost who remains at the Duck building on Broad street or is it the previous owner who Stella may have "gotten out of the way" so that she could be the new owner, Marvel Conn?

We once again welcome Brynn Croy our master story teller, to share with us the story of Stella Carroll, Marvel Conn and the rest on this episode of Ghosts 'N Bears.

Ian had his own encounter with the energy in the basement of the Guild, but don't worry, there seems to be energy on every level of this large wharf-front building. As far as the Keg goes, there's stories in both the dining room area and the kitchen area so at least the ghosts don't only bother the customers.
