Thank you all !! About Brian: Brian Baker is a Toronto-based journalist captivated by pop culture and the paranormal. His journey began at age 4. While living in British Columbia, he encountered a shadowy apparition that sparked a lifelong fascination with the supernatural. This passion eventually led him to launch The Superstitious Times in April 2018, a news site dedicated to Canada’s strange and unexplainable tales, and write his first book, Eerie Whispers: Canada’s Reluctant Relationship with its Ghostly Lore. Before diving into journalism, Brian studied archaeology at the University of Toronto, driven by a lifelong curiosity for ancient civilizations and the mysteries therein. He grew up immersed in paranormal lore, a passion he now shares with his family, including his wife, two children and their ever-watchful cat. With two decades of work with publications like the Town Crier, the Canadian Press, Torstar Digital, the Globe and Mail, Sun Media, Urban Male Magazine and Chrome Magazine, Brian is all about capturing the unique and quirky in his articles. Oh, and he loves puffins. About The Book: 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.
