• #30 - The Serial Killer of Toronto's Gay Village
    Jan 31 2025

    In our thirtieth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Christina Koutsi, Dylan Fairman and Kenton de Jong discuss the disappearance and subsequent murders of several men from Toronto's Gay Village during the early 2010s.

    The Toronto Police Service were unequipped to handle these murders and were unfamiliar with the LGBTQA+ community they were taking part in. All signs pointed to a man named Bruce McArthur, but McArthur was a senior citizen, who landscaped for a living and volunteered as Santa Claus in the malls.

    However, as the investigation continued, more of McArthur's life became known to the authorities. From a tough childhood, a messy divorce, bankruptcy, a troubled son, and more than one report of him being violent or aggressive, the police began to wonder if McArthur was involved, and if so, what happened to these missing men. As more and more men went missing, the search continued and the answer seemed further and further from the norm.

    Come learn about a Canadian serial killer like no other!

  • #29 - The Mystery of Charles Coughlin's Coffin
    Dec 5 2024

    In our twenty-ninth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Christina Koutsi, Dylan Fairman and Kenton de Jong discuss the life and death of Charles Coughlin, a British actor who is more famous in death than when he was alive.

    Coughlin had a colourful life, from messy marriages, summer homes, a fluctuating acting career, and an unfortunate bankruptcy. However, he is more known for the legend that happened after his passing. While in Texas performing The Royal Box, he became gravely ill and passed after a month of sickness. His body would be interred in a temporary grave in Galveston, Texas while his family discussed what to do with it -- should he be buried at his summer home in PEI, or should he be cremated and buried in New York instead?

    After a year of discussions, nature made the choice for them, and the incredibly deadly Galveston Hurrican of 1901 struck the city, destroying building, killing thousands, and smashing many mausoleums, including the one Charles Coughlin was resting in. His coffin would then be pulled out into the ocean... and the mystery would begin.

    What happened to Charles Coughlin's coffin? Come listen to our new episode and find out!

  • #28 – Paranormal Investigation of The First Wolseley Cemetery
    Oct 31 2024

    In our twenty-eighth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong, Dylan Fairman and Christina Koutsi venture to the First Wolseley Cemetery.

    The cemetery is said to contain the graves of many early Wolseley settlers, men and women, who struggled against all odds to make the town of Wolseley possible. However, most of the wooden graves were lost to a fire in 1905, and the cemetery needed to be abandoned. The town of Wolseley began using a new cemetery instead, and this one was supposedly forgotten. This has created many stories of the cemetery being haunted by intelligent spirits, sounds of growling from the shadows, and a creepy feeling.

    However, when we visited the cemetery, we found it very maintained and in good condition. Many graves were missing, but the cemetery didn't have an uncomfortable vibe. It was a very well taken cared for and respected cemetery.

    Many interesting discoveries were made, but nothing paranormal was recorded... or was there?
    Come watch our second-ever on-location paranormal investigation into the First Wolseley Cemetery!

  • #27 - What Is The Partridge Creek Monster?
    Oct 11 2024

    In our twenty-seventh episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss the 1903 and follow-up 1907 sightings of a strange creature near Partridge River in the Yukon.

    The 1903 sighting was by Georges Dupuy, James Lewis Buttler, Tom Leemore, Father Pierre Lavagneux, and five First Nations individuals. The 1907 sighting was by Father Pierre Lavagneux and ten First Nations individuals.

    Both describe a large creature, approximately 30 feet long, with feet five feet long, and claws a foot long. It was 12 feet wide, with a 10 foot long tail. It also had a small, square horn on its nose and the face of a dog.

    It was believed that the beast they encountered was a dinosaur, most likely a Ceratosaurus or at least another kind of theropod.

    The idea of a dinosaur living in the Yukon is absurd, but with additional sightings in 1928 in Siberia, as well as 1999 in Fairbanks, Alaska, you can't help but wonder, what is the monster of Partridge Creek? Listen to the podcast and find out!

  • #26 - The Legless Wonder of Nova Scotia
    Sep 4 2024

    In our twenty-sixth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Jerome, the legless, mysterious man who appeared on the shores of Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia in 1863.

    Eight-year-old George Albright was the first to discover Jerome, and once realizing what this lump on the beach was, he immediately went for help. Once brought to the Albright residence, the family tried to figure out where he was from, and who he was, only to learn he did not speak English, French, Italian, Spanish or Latin.

    For several years Jerome was taken care for by the people of Digby, Nova Scotia, but eventually, they sent him to Megeghan, Nova Scotia, a primarily Catholic community because they determined Jerome was Catholic too.

    It was here that Jerome would be put on display to an audience, a roadside attraction, and became famous for being a legless wonder.

    But who was Jerome? Where did he come from? And where did his legs go? Listen to the podcast and find out!

  • #25 - The Disappearance of Mekayla Bali
    Jul 22 2024

    In our twenty-fifth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Mekayla Bali's disappearance which occurred on April 12, 2016.


    Bali was a 16-year-old girl from Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Considered a "homebody", "quiet", "shy" and a "good listener", she always dreamed of travelling to a city like Regina or Saskatoon. She was an introvert and spent much of her time on her phone, using anonymous texting apps to talk to different people online. One of these apps was Kik, an app known to be used by child groomers.


    On April 11th, 2016, Bali told her friends she was going on a trip and asked one of them for a ride to the bank that evening. They could not help her, so she called the bank instead and deposited $25 into her account. She would tell her friends that she would have $5,000 in her account and wanted a ride to the bank the next morning, but her friends told her that the bank didn't open until 9am. Police records show she had nowhere near that amount of money in her account.


    The next morning Bali would get dropped off at school, then walk right through the school and out the back door, five minutes later. Security cameras throughout Yorkton would track her movements, from pawn shops, gas stations, coffee shops, back to the highschool, and eventually to a restaurant where she would ultimately disappear.


    Bali left behind little to help authorities find what happened to her. Their investigation was further delayed because of the 10-month delay the RCMP had while dealing with US social media privacy regulations. When they finally did gain access, they had more questions than answers.


    What happened to Bali on that day in 2016? Was it drug-related? Did she commit suicide? Or was it a romance gone wrong? Listen to the podcast and find out!

  • Patreon Exclusive - T. G. Hamilton's Ectoplasmic Photography
    May 13 2024

    In our eighth Patreon exclusive episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton and Dylan discuss the authenticity of T. G. Hamilton's famous ectoplasmic photography.

    Thomas Glendenning and Lillian May Hamilton were faced with the sudden loss of their son due to the Spanish Influenza of 1918. Like many people at the time, they were struggling to cope with the meaning of life and death.

    However, T. G. recounted a conversation with a colleague at the University of Manitoba a few years prior. His colleague told him about a psychic he had met stateside, and how amazed he was by her abilities to contact the dead.

    The desire to communicate with their son drove T. G. and Lillian to begin experimenting as well. What started with Ouiji boards quickly evolved into full-blown ectoplasmic photography. By including witnesses and an entire wall of cameras, their documentation, and recordings about what they summoned brought them into the international spotlight. Everybody from former prime ministers to famous authors came to witness their seances.

    But a hundred years later, ectoplasmic photography is no longer popular, and many who participated were found to be frauds. T. G. Hamilton and his wife were an exception, and their photography remains unexplained.

    For our attempt to explain T. G. Hamiton's ectoplasmic photography, check out our new episode!

  • #24 - Langenburg's UFO Encounter
    Apr 8 2024

    In our twenty-fourth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Edwin Fuhr's close encounter of the second kind, which occurred on Septemeber 1st, 1974.

    Edwin Fuhr was a farmer near Langenburg, Saskatchewan and was out one morning harvesting his canola, when he rode his swather up a small hill on his property. From this vantage point, he saw five strange metallic objects in a semi-circle-like shape, all hovering silently near a slough. He approached the objects on foot, noticing their dimensions, the speed in which they were rotating, and any feelings of uneasiness he felt near them.

    He then returned to his swather and waited until eventually the objects flew up and away from him, blasting him with steam.

    He would return home to tell his family what he saw, only to discover time had passed. After lunch, we went out to the spot with his father to show him where the objects were hovering. It was around this time that Edwin's wife told his sister, and his sister told her husband and her husband called the RCMP.

    It was after this moment that Edwin's life changed, a mass of humanity descended upon his farm.

    What did Edwin see that day in 1974? Was it alien in origin? Was it a secret military aircraft? And did he really get a call from Neil Armstrong? Listen to the podcast and find out!
