Episode 27 - Haunted Gravelbourg School
Haunted Gravelbourg School Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan Nestled in the small and unique town of Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan surrounded by wheat fields and local farms is the historic and haunted Gravelbourg school, a towering building that is steeped in history and eerie folklore. Rising four stories high the structure looms over the vast Prairie landscape, it’s imposing presence hinting at a darker untold tale. The beautifully constructed building is an architectural marvel with captivating stain glass windows and design features, the historic school brings you back to a time when the laughter of students and the crisp footsteps of the nuns echo throughout the hallways. While the building did serve as a convent and a school for many decades it’s the lingering spirits of the nuns and students that now wander throughout the empty corridors.

Episode 13 - The Murder of Jolene Cote
Send us a text On the evening of Wednesday, October 12, 2011 -  36 year old Jolene Cotes had just finished playing in a soccer tournament with her team the Spruce Grove Saints at the Edmonton Soccer Centre West in Edmonton, Alberta.  After leaving the soccer centre, Jolene stopped at a local Walmart on Stony Plain Road to pick up some items and then left the Walmart at 1040pm to drive the 15-20 minute distance to the family acreage in Parkland County, just outside the city of Edmonton.  The next morning on Thursday, Oct 13th  around 6 am Jolene was found by her husband outside the family home in a grassy area dead with a massive gash on her head and to this day nobody knows who murdered the mother of two.  Yet in the 13 years since Jolene was murdered RCMP have said in interviews that “they don't believe robbery was a motive and that Cote was deliberately attacked”. The unsolved murder of Jolene Cotes is still on the minds of those who new and loved her and they continue to work every day to keep Jolene’s story in the public and to bring the killer or killers to justice.
