the Most Controversial Garden in St. Catharines, Ontario

When scrolling through the news over my morning coffee, I found myself face to face with what can only be described as the most controversial garden in St. Catharines, Ontario.

When Christina and Matt designed their garden, they started by purchasing two large wooden coffins, placing them in their yard and filling them with soil.

As it turned out their neighbours didn't share the same taste.

A complaint to by law enforcement would begin the most interesting garden or bylaw enforcement story the town of St. Catharines Ontario has ever seen.

Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be joined by the homeowners, turned gothic freedom fighters, Christina and Matt... and our topic is the most controversial garden in St. Catharines Ontario.

Canadian Ufo Crashes (with Chris Rutkowski)

In the past Nighttime has spent a considerable amount of time discussing the stories of strange lights in our skies.

We may get to some of them tonight as well but rather than focusing on the lights in the sky, in this episode, we are going to consider what happens when the damn things crash to the ground.

In this episode of Nighttime, Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski and I discuss Canada’s history with UFO crashes and review some recent UFO reports submitted via the UFOs Above Canada Facebook group.

Elon Musk Is Responsible For Many Canadian UFO Reports (aka what is the starlink satellite constellation)

Listeners of Nighttime, consider this episode a sort of public service.

This episode has the power to ease the minds of many people out there who feel they have witnessed a fleet of alien invaders in the skies above Canada.

The story usually manifests itself in one of two ways; it's either a photo showing a series of aerial lights in a straigh line, or a witness account from someone who saw a series of objects flying one after the other in a sort of liner formation.

Well, if you see this type of photo or hear this story don’t immediatly rush to your emergency shelter.

ELON MUSK, the billionaire inventor and entrepreneur may very well be behind in.

In fact, Elon musk may be partly responsible for the rise in Canadian UFO reports.

In this episode of Nighttime, Canadian UFO researcher and data analyst Chris Rutkowski will tell us about Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellite Constellation and what role it plays in the rise in UFO reports.

Canada's UFO Secrets Are Less Secret Than You Think (with Daniel Otis)

A large cache of UFO reports recently found their way to the public eye thanks in part to the investigative reporting of a Canadian journalist named Daniel Otis.

See, Daniel happened upon a database in which those involved in aviation report occurrences that could affect the safety and operation of our countries aircraft, airports, and airspace.

and speckled amongst the many mundane reports of flat tires, rocky landings, and faulty valves are unexplainable reports of anomalous objects, being witness and reported by our countries aviators.

This may not be the smoking gun, or act of government disclosure we have been waiting for but it is certainly a collection of credible reports to be taken very seriously.

and tonight we are going to hear all about it.

In this episode of nighttime, we are going to be joined by Daniel Otis, the journalist behind the two Vice.com articles that rubbed our noses into Canada's relationship with whatever the hell is happening in our skies.

Kimberley Lake's Vision Loss and Visions (Charles Bonnet Syndrome)

Up until the last several years, Kimberley Lake lived a pretty typical life; a married mom, holding down a stable office job... but for reasons not fully known her life changed dramatically when almost in an instant she lost her vision almost fully.

As you will hear Kim describe in this episode, her vision loss obviously created a tremendous amount of change in her life, but it also had a very odd side affect.

Kimberley has repeatedly experienced the affects of Charles Bonnet Syndrome.

If you are unfamiliar with CBS, like I was until last week, Charles Bonnet Syndrome is a condition in which people who recently lost their version experience vivid, and often intense visual hallucinations.

In many cases, the hallucinations are patterns or objects appearing unexpectedly, however the hallucinations can also be horrific. Kim has seen Rats, spiders, Donald Trump, and even a corpse in her bed.

Tonight, in this episode, Our guest Kimberly lake will share the story of her vision loss, and her visions.

the 2020 Canadian UFO Survey (with Chris Rutkowski)

Since 1989, UFOlogy Research of Manitoba has been collecting data related to Canadian UFO sightings from a variety of sources. This data is compiled, organized, analyzed and made publicly available in an annual “Canadian UFO Survey”.

In this episode, recorded just hours after the release of the 2020 report, we are joined by the survey’s editor Chris Rutkowski.

The Carp, Ontario 'Guardian' UFO Case - Part 2 - a discussion with Chris Rutkowski

In the last episode, my guest Ian Rogers spoke both about his experiences investigating the Guardian case as well as the route this story took to being featured on a major CBC Documentary ‘UFO Town’.

When I was putting that episode together I learned that my friend, and past guest of the show, Chris Rutkowski was one of the ufo investigators who received Guardian's mailings back in the 80s and 90s.

I also learned that Chris was invited, but declined, to participate in ‘UFO TOWN’.

I thought Chris would be the perfect person to invite here to help me both further break down the case, and discuss the UFO town documentary.

In this episode Christ Rutkowski and I discuss CBCs ‘UFO TOWN’ and the strange strange world of “THE GUARDIAN”

The Carp, Ontario 'Guardian' UFO Case - Part 1 - a discussion with Ian Rogers

the Carp, Ontario UFO case widely centers on an anonymous whistle blower using the name 'Guardian' who for a period in the early 90s sent strange packages to UFO researchers around the world claiming that world government’s were attempting to cover up the crash of an extraterrestrial craft just outside of Ottawa in Carp, Ontario. The packages included a rambling manifesto, photographs of purported aliens, and perhaps most interesting, a vhs tape containing video of what was supposed to be a flying saucer.

Despite significant attempts Guardian was never identified.

in fact.. they are still trying.

Our guest is just the fella to walk as through this case.

Ian Rogers is a present day author, but in the early 90s when the investigation into the guardian case was active, Ian was a teenage UFO investigator who managed to walk right into the middle of one of Canada's most bizarre cases.

In this episode, Ian shares the stranger than fiction story of the Carp, Ontario “Gaurdian” UFO Case.

Candice and Onagottay - Part 1 - Who or What Keeps Appearing Above Candice and Onagottay?!?

It started with a post to the UFOs Above Canada discussion group on facebook…

Im wondering if there are any people living in Kingston, Ontario. Since December 3, 2020 we have been taking pictures of crafts over our house. Up to 22 craft at once. I also have pics of craft with hatches open and small orbs flying out of them. We are 2 older people who were not looking for this experience, it came to us. I am not technically savvy and need a person to help us to identify, examine and file these pictures. If there is anybody in this group who can help we would really appreciate it.”

In this episode, Candice and Onagottay share the details of their bizarre series of UFO experiences that began only months prior.

Allan Legere's Christmas Blessings

Snow was on the ground, a chill was in the air, and Christmas was all around.

I put on my boots and hat, zipped up my coat, and headed into the cold to check my mailbox. When I opened it, I found some flyers, a gift I had ordered for my mom, and a handful of Christmas cards friends and family who still hold on to the traditional way of staying connected.

My grandma scribbled her name on one, my friend Craig sent me his regards along with an updated family photo, but there was one I couldn’t immediately identify that looked a little thicker than the rest.

The name on the front of the envelope wasn't that legible, so I opened it still not knowing who exactly it was from.

inside, was a very typical Christmas card... decorated with a little church and a stylized font wishing Christmas Blessings.

overall very typical… until I opened it.

Inside, I saw a card completely covered with barely legible writing, and a serpate multipage letter covered with the same scribbled text. Just as I began contemplating who sent such a bizarre card I noticed the only piece of easily legible writing.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.

my Christmas blessings, Allan Legere

As the colour drains from my face, I realize I'm holding a christmas card sent to me by one of the world's most horrific serial killers, the Monster of the Miramich, and now I’m going to share it with you.

In this episode of Nighttime, using his own words taken from a Christmas card he sent me.

We are going to hear from Allan Legere.

Stanton T. Friedman was a nuclear physicist and professional Ufologist who resided in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. After a career working on research and development projects for several large companies, he left his profession to follow his obsession with flying saucers. Although most well known as the original civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident, Stanton has travelled the world over providing lectures on the topic of flying saucers.

In this episode we are joined by his nephew, author and filmmaker, Paul Kimball.

Donna and Victor's Very Big and Very Ugly Disagreement (Live on Youtube with the 911 calls podcast’s Operator)

In this episode of Nighttime Live, I will be joined by the Operator (host of 911 Calls Podcast) to discuss my favorite 3 minutes of audio… EVER.

The origin of the audio is a bit of a mystery, but it seems to include two employees of a major Canadian telecommunications company having a very big and very ugly disagreement during an otherwise routine inter company telephone interation.

Donna (who is speaking from a call center in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) looses her patience with Victor (speaking from a kiosk in a Brampton, Ontario mall) when he seems to be in breach of some sort of task related requirement. The result, is a melt down for the ages.

the Story of Chickie MacPhee - Cape Breton's WILD THING

For a period of time in the late 1980s, Cape Breton’s Chickie Macphee became one of his island’s most famous and most beloved residents. His notoriety didn’t begin with any great feat, show of skill, or significant act of generosity. Chickie Macphee was just a regular Cape Bretoner with a bit of a drinking problem and a love for Karaoke.


Part 1

In this episode Chickie Macphee's brother Rich MacPhee will tell us how Chickie ended up famous for getting drunk and singing ‘Wild Thing’ on the community TV channel.


Part 2

In this episode, we will explore Chickie’s unique legacy by speaking with his close friend Dorothy.

A Collection of Stories from Haunted Canada

In my opinion, this the most wonderful time of the year... Halloween.

For a few weeks in October, even your grandmothers favorite drug store is selling Skull shaped coffee mugs and blood splattered napkins. What's not to love about that?

With the world temporarily embracing horror and darkness I decided to do the same here at Nighttime and fortunately, there are many spooky listeners of this show. It's to them I turn to tonight.

So pour a drink, dim the lights, and get cozy.

Tonight, in this Nighttime Halloween special, we are going to hear from a collection of Nighttime listeners who will share their encounters with THE BEYOND.

Stories

  • James’ encounter with a spirit at the Margaree River

  • Kristin’s visit from a deceased innkeeper in Ontario

  • Kristi Lee’s haunting in Brisbane

  • Nick’s UFO sighting in PEI

  • Lisa’s supernatural pet sighting

  • Steven’s visit from god know’s what

  • Keith's Old Lady/poltergeist

A Walk Amongst the Dead in Halifax

I've always found Cemeteries a calming and peaceful place but not everyone is comfortable roaming their twisted paths and especially so under moonlight. If that describes you, you may find this episode a bit uncomfortable at first as roaming around a graveyard is exactly what we are going to do. But, don’t be scared off just yet, I suspect this walk amongst the dead may change the way you view the boneyard.

I've called upon Craig Ferguson, a local man who spends a considerable time amongst the dead, to take the lead. He produces a unique project that merges art, journalism, and story Telling called Dead in Halifax. His work starts with a headstone catching his eye and leads to a fact finding mission into the life and dead of the person buried in the ground below. It's like a modern history lesson for goths.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be meeting with Craig Ferguson at the gates of the Camp Hill Cemetery in Halifax and together we are going to go for a walk amongst the Dead in Halifax.

The 1978 Clarenville UFO Sighting

When Clarenville RCMP Constable Jim Blackwood responded to a report of an unusual object in the sky, he expected it to be the next in a series of recent reports that all resulted in nothing more than a confused citizen describing a vague light.

When he arrived to the scene he found a group of mystified witnesses viewing the still clearly visible object with binoculars. He knew then that this report was unique.

The incredible events which unfolded during the roughly two hour long sighting would fuel both an international media whirlwind and a localized UFO craze.  

In this episode, the amazing details of the 1978 Clarenville, Newfoundland UFO sighting will be told by the now retired Cst. Jim Blackwood.

the Decline of Tim Hortons (with Corey Mintz)

Once upon a time, I loved Tim Horton's. I drank their coffee and I ate their fresh baked goods, but those days are gone. The love affair is long over. To put it bluntly, I think they suck now.  What puzzles me, is that it wasn't always this way and that's why I'm left with burning questions...  

When did they lose their way, why did they lose their way, and will they ever get back the magic they used to have? 

It wasn't until I happened upon a piece of investigative journalism in a MacLean's magazine that the full picture of this betrayal became apparent.  The piece was titled "How Tim Hortons lost it's way" and as I read it the veil of marketing that had obscured the slow decline of Tim Horton’s was forcefully pulled away and Canada's dirty secret was exposed.   

Some of the points raised in that article will be discussed and expanded upon in this episode as in this episode, I'm joined by author and journalist Corey Mintz. 

Our topic is the DECLINE of Tim Hortons.

The Story of 'the Coffee Cowboy' Robert Chetwynd

In this episode, we are going to come face to face with one of most prosecuted people in Nova Scotia's storied history.

Our guest is a criminal so hardened that when I asked him for an estimate on the length of his rap sheet, he simply drew a blank and giggled. But, that's probably for the better as listing the charges this man has faced would be about as interesting, and as exhausting, as reading through the Canadian Criminal Code.

But, as you will soon learn, there is much more to it.

when the layers of legalese are peeled back this isn't the story of a career criminal. It's the story of a man who simply wanted to hang around at tim horton's parking lot drinking coffee with his friends.

The problems started when he lost his license and bought of horse as a way to get around town. If this man on horseback was a can of gasoline... the match that ignited it would be his dispute with the management of his small town Tim Horton.

After several instances of his horse answering the call of nature on their property.... He was told that he, nor his chestnut quarter horse were no longer welcome on their property... a demand he refused to obey. Now, nearly 20 years after the events that made him and his horse international news, He is willing to tell his story.

In this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be joined by ‘The Coffee Cowboy’ Robert Chetwynd.

UNICOLE and UNICULT - 1 - What is UNICULT? who is UNICOLE?

In short, UNICOLE is an influential online spiritual teacher who leads a group called UNICULT.

The longer version however, is way more out there.

The genesis of this episode was an email I received from a listener of Nighttime letting me know that they, and several of their friends in Toronto, had recently joined a fast growing online spiritual group based in California named UNICULT. In the email they explained that the cult was led by a part human/part alien pop singer named UNICOLE.

My response was something between what the f*&K? and this is why I love the internet!

This kind of thing absolutely does it for me. Aliens, psychics, cults, and the dark corners of the internet... I couldn't resist learning more about UNICOLE, UNICOLE’s many followers, and their cult. 

Rather than just telling you what I've learned from the many articles and the seemingly endless videos about UNICULT and UNICOLE, I went right to the interstellar source.

In this episode, we are going to hear the story of UNICOLE and UNICULT as told by the self proclaimed cult leader... UNICOLE.
