   "Why are Canadians afraid of ghosts?   
      
   "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.
