The Baldoon Mystery

September 23, 2025 • Dawn & Kristy • Episode 8

Step into one of Canada’s most chilling legends—the Baldoon Mystery. This haunting tale from early 19th-century Ontario begins with the McDonald family, whose peaceful farmstead was shaken by a relentless series of bizarre and terrifying events.

Fires erupted without cause, bullets and rocks pelting their home from unseen forces, and poltergeist activity. Was it the curse of a witch, or something even more sinister that no priest, neighbour, or man of faith could drive away?

Join us as we uncover the documented accounts, eerie witness testimonies, and the strange “solution” said to have finally ended the torment. The Baldoon Mystery has endured for generations, not just as a ghost story, but as a chilling reminder of how fear, folklore, and reality can intertwine.

This is The Baldoon Mystery.
