"Why are Canadians afraid of ghosts?

"Canada's paranormal roots run deep. We tell ghost stories
around flickering campfires and share unexplained encounters
with family and friends. Yet our polite, risk-averse nation
often buries these experiences, rarely encouraging them in the
places we live or in our arts and entertainment. Fear of stigma
and discomfort with the unknown - especially death - keep the
supernatural in the shadows. We allow only flirtations with
ghosts, ghouls, and goblins, mostly at Halloween.

"Eerie Whispers explores Canada's haunted history, drawing from
the diverse folklore of its immigrant communities and the
traditional stories of Indigenous Peoples. It asks why
Canadians, unlike Americans or the British, are reluctant to
celebrate this part of our culture. Brian Baker encourages us
to embrace the uncanny and find the courage needed to amplify
our nation's supernatural voice.
