I was talking about my favourite scary movies today and one of our listeners shared this ghost story with me. It’s particularly neat because it involves two very well known Canadian folk singers and it’s definitely a little unsettling! Check out the link below!

1. In 1968, folk singer Bruce Cockburn fled his Toronto apartment in terror, never to return.

His girlfriend had felt an evil spirit haunting the house — and trying to possess her.

Jason Wellwood

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
