Woodbine: A Parkdale Haunts Production

The worst kind of joke is not one where no one laughs, but one where the joke-teller takes a violent, unyielding umbrage with your lack of mirth. The joke is on Grace when a not-so-funny artefact goes missing and someone from her past makes a sudden return. It's really no laughing matter though when Lennox reappears, leaving her with more questions than answers. There's no clowning around when he'...

A family torn apart by past hurts. A search for an estranged mother. A mothman standing in your office, staring at your lamp. Bea still struggles with her new diet, Rhys finds out there's more to the job than paperwork, and Grace begins to regret the gaps in the agency's onboarding procedures. CONTENT WARNING: blood (mentioned) Featuring the voices of: Ian Boddy as Rhys Alex Nursall as Bea Emily K...

Grace takes Bea straight into the deep end with her first case: A boogeyman is missing a very key part of something important to him. It plays the music of the night, giving him a sense of peace, covering up the sounds of the world... He just wants his groove back, is all. Plus, it's time to hire a new assistant, and there's a single standout in a world of duds. CONTENT WARNING: blood Episode tran...

Beatrice Ashe is having an incredibly average day, up until the part where she is brutally stabbed to death. Well, near death. Some people have bosses who meddle in their work, some have bosses who are little too quick to act, and some have bosses who will bring you back from the precipice of annihilation by turning you into a vampire. Now, Bea has some new problems, only one of which is the myste...

Beatrice Ashe is living a quiet life as an assistant at the Woodbine Agency, a small detective firm in the east end of Toronto. Things change for her very quickly though when she is brutally attacked and left near death. Now, her boss Grace Hawthorne has a choice to make: Let Bea die or... give her a second chance. A second chance that comes with a whole new world that has always been there, lurki...

The post-mortem continues! We tackle topics such as, "Did Ian actually build himself a coffin?", "What joke does Emily regret not including in the show?" and "How many tiny Alexes is too many to take on in a fight?" Featuring the musings of: Alex Nursall, Emily Kellogg, and Ian Boddy. CONTENT WARNINGS: alcohol Parkdale Haunt is an original podcast Created and written by Alex Nursall and Emily Kell...

Well hello again. It's been one year since the end of the show, so Alex, Emily, and Ian decided to sit down one more time to answer some outstanding listener questions, reflect on the series, and give a little insight into what's coming next... This is not a spoiler-free zone, so if you're new here, this might not be the best place to start. Also, we also talked for way longer than we originally e...

It's the holiday season, and the light of the street lamps are dim in the thick snow that blankets the city. Toronto can be cold in the winter, but sometimes you come across a case that makes your blood turn to ice. Everything changed the night she walked into my office, and there's no going back now. The nights just keep getting longer and, sometimes, it feels like they're only getting darker......

AMARANTHINE: undying. Trust. Simple in theory — do you have faith in someone, someone you love, someone you know, someone you care about? It can be difficult in practice, and there comes that moment where you ask yourself... how do you find faith in the darkness? Who do you place your confidence in? Who can you rely on? To the people we love, we say: “Take this, please. It’s my heart, it’s my fait...

QUIETUS: final settlement (as of a debt).  "Glacial Lake Iroquois was a prehistoric proglacial lake that existed at the end of the last ice age approximately 13,000 years ago. The lake was essentially an enlargement of the present Lake Ontario that formed because the St. Lawrence River downstream from the lake was blocked by the ice sheet near the present Thousand Islands. The level of the lake wa...

CALIGINOUS: misty, dim; obscure, dark. Starting anything with, "Webster's Dictionary defines..." is always a bad move, so I'll just say this: Family is whatever you need it to be. You can be born into it or you can build it. You can weave threads between yourself and others to create a web that holds you all within its strands. Family can be born and family can be broken, and family can leave you...

SMALL HOURS: The very early morning, just after midnight, when most people are asleep. SPA MENU:  Manicure - $58 40-Minute Massage - $150 Full Body Soak and Scrub - $189 Full Body Immolation - Complimentary The Fires of Moloch Burning Away the Sin Within Your Flesh - +$50 (weekends only) I just want to say here that I think we're the first podcast to include a cursed ONroute (for the non-Ontarians...

IRASCIBLE: having or showing a tendency to be easily angered. What lives in the basement of your mind? What do the voices in your head say to you in the dark? How deep do those fears go and what will you do the day you come face to face with them? You can't run. You can only listen. Do not go downstairs Do not go downstairs Do not go downstairs Featuring the voices of:  Alex Nursall as Judith Emil...

TORSION: the state of being twisted. There are plenty of good things about your university days, but spending time in the big sterile libraries is rarely one. It's especially not great if you're perusing the occult section while someone keeps an eye on you. There are eyes in the shelves, eyes in the halls, and eyes in the house... watching, always watching. Featuring the voices of:  Emily Kellogg...

ERE LONG: (archaic) before long; soon. Claire lets off some steam while Judith and Owen go antique shopping. What? Not everything is doom and gloom, only most things. Sometimes you just have to take a little walk and see what the day brings you (and sometimes that thing is... a singing fish? Am I reading this right? Ok, whatever). Featuring the voices of:  Alex Nursall as Judith Emily Kellogg as C...

MALISON: (archaic) a curse. There is a certain amount of vulnerability you need to be able to have with someone to share a bed with them, to share a space, to go out in public unapologetically. There is a certain amount of courage and foolhardiness one must have to do these things while a plume of smoke starts to waft in your direction, as the winds change and the fires come ever closer. Judith, C...

POLLARD: to cut off the top and branches of (a tree) to encourage new growth at the top; a deer which has cast its antlers. There's nothing worse than an ex who won't let go, aside from an ex who sends their friends over to your place to try to get you to stay. Wait, did I say "stay"? I meant "be attacked by eldritch nightmare beings."  It's the next morning, and the hangover is real. Like, it's r...

YET: in addition. It's the morning after the worst night of Claire, Judith, and Owen's lives. How do you pick up the pieces? Where would you even start? Where do you go from here?  Featuring the voices of:  Emily Kellogg as Claire Alex Nursall as Judith Ian Boddy as Owen and Jocelyn Dotta as Lydia CONTENT WARNINGS: The occult, alcohol/drunkenness, mental abuse Parkdale Haunt is an original podcast...
