Long before jack-o’-lanterns and candy bowls, there was a night of fire and silence.

A night when the veil between worlds was believed to thin… and something ancient stirred in the dark.

In this Halloween special of Midnight Mysteries, we travel back over 3,000 years to uncover the true origins of Halloween — from the Celtic festival of Samhain, where fires burned against the coming winter, to the Church’s attempt to rewrite the night as All Hallows’ Eve.

We’ll trace how costumes began as camouflage from spirits, how apple games foretold the future, and how fear itself turned neighbor against neighbor in the witch trials that followed.

But even as centuries passed, darker echoes lingered — from ritual crimes and occult imitations to modern cults still trying to make old myths real again.

🔥 What was Halloween really meant to protect us from?

💀 And why does the night still feel different, even now?

🎧 Step into the circle of firelight — and stay weird.

It started, as it always does, with a scream.

In this chilling comeback episode of Midnight Mysteries, we venture into the deep forests of Alberta, the icy waters of Okanagan Lake, and the backroads of rural Ontario to confront three of Canada’s most unnerving legends:

• A bone-rattling scream heard near Ghost Lake in the fall of 2023.

• The serpent-like Ogopogo, said to drag boats under if not properly honored.

• And finally…the Dogman: a towering, upright beast spotted across centuries and cultures, described almost identically from Michigan to Mongolia.

We explore ancient Indigenous lore, modern eyewitness reports, and even a newly surfaced Dogman encounter from 2024. If you’ve ever felt watched in the woods… you’re not alone.

🔦 What do these creatures want from us? Are they relics… or something darker?

🎧 Tune in...and stay weird.
