The Story of 'the Coffee Cowboy' Robert Chetwynd

September 11, 2020/ Nighttime

In this episode, we are going to come face to face with one of most prosecuted people in Nova Scotia's storied history.

Our guest is a criminal so hardened that when I asked him for an estimate on the length of his rap sheet, he simply drew a blank and giggled. But, that's probably for the better as listing the charges this man has faced would be about as interesting, and as exhausting, as reading through the Canadian Criminal Code.

But, as you will soon learn, there is much more to it.

when the layers of legalese are peeled back this isn't the story of a career criminal. It's the story of a man who simply wanted to hang around at tim horton's parking lot drinking coffee with his friends.

The problems started when he lost his license and bought of horse as a way to get around town. If this man on horseback was a can of gasoline... the match that ignited it would be his dispute with the management of his small town Tim Horton.

After several instances of his horse answering the call of nature on their property.... He was told that he, nor his chestnut quarter horse were no longer welcome on their property... a demand he refused to obey. Now, nearly 20 years after the events that made him and his horse international news, He is willing to tell his story.

In this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be joined by ‘The Coffee Cowboy’ Robert Chetwynd.

the Strange World of Ashley MacIsaac

August 23, 2020/ Nighttime

In this episode, we are going to be joined by one of the more colourful characters to ever grace Canada's music charts.

Our guest is as well known for his awe-inspiring talents on the fiddle as he is for the strange stories and controversy scattered throughout his 30 year career.

If you followed Canadian music in the 90s, you know Ashley Macisaac.

His 1995 album 'Hi how are you today' went double platinum and in the process helped bring about a sort of renaissance for the fiddle and Celtic music.

This episode however won't be about Ashley Macissac's impact on popular music and it won't be about his various public relations missteps that shocked and appalled many of his more traditional fans.

Ashley MacIsaac is joining me here on Nighttime to speak publicly for the first time about something very personal and very important to him.

UFOs are, and have been, a part of his life since childhood.

So, buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride through the strange world of Ashley MacIsaac.

On March 22, 1992, Sydney Nova Scotia was expecting it’s worst snowstorm of the year. With over 30 centimeters expected to fall Doug Dupe encouraged his wife Marie to not take any chances by going in to work. With it being her first back shift at the convenience store where she had only recently been hired, she decided to brave the elements.

The shift, and the night, would be her last.

Was it a Sasquatch in Northwestern Ontario?

December 13, 2019/ Nighttime

For me, it all started on an average day in November. I woke up, poured a coffee, and swiped open my phone to see what was what in the world.

Instead of finding local news and pictures of social media influencer’s breakfast, I was face to face with an agitated mob that seemed to have my email and social media accounts surrounded. Fortunately, it wasn't a lynch mob. In place of torches and pitchforks they all just had their phones out showing me a viral video taken on October 3rd by a hunter out looking for partridge with his wife and grandchild in rural Ontario. The video itself isn't much to look at, it’s little more than a still image of a treeline.

It's the sound of the video that makes this special.

The hunter, 39 year old Gino Meekis, started filming after being started by a howl unlike any he had never heard before.

After sharing the video to Youtube people took notice.

Just like Gino, No one could agree on what animal was heard in the video. But, there was one group on the fringes of the discussion who did recognize this almost human howl and they confident they knew what it was.

They thought it was Bigfoot and they considered Gino's video proof that there ARE Sasquatch in Northwestern Ontario.

In this episode of Nighttime our topic is both Gino's video and the question it raises “Was it a sasquatch in NorthWestern Ontario?”

Jerome, the Mystery Man of Sandy Cove

October 16, 2019/ Nighttime

Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia, 1863

As far back as recorded history can take us, we see the inhabitants of the land presently called Nova Scotia maintaining a strong connection to the waters that surround them.

Forestry, Fishing, Tourism, and recreation. The Atlantic’s waves crash against all aspects of our lives.

it’s not a surprise that the Atlantic Ocean also plays a role in many of Nova Scotia's most enduring mysteries.

In this this episode, our story involves mysterious strangers arriving to Nova Scotia’s shores by way of the Atlantic Ocean, but in this case they didn't crash land in a UFO, and they seem to bury any treasure.

All they did was desert a speechless, legless man on a beach in the Digby area of Nova Scotia.

Who he was, why his legs were cut off, and how exactly he came to arrive on the beach... are all questions that have gone unanswered in the 150+ years since his sudden arrival.

Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by author Fraser Mooney Jr.

Our topic is Jerome, the mystery man of Sandy Cove.

The Disappearance of Kimberly McAndrew

September 01, 2019/ Nighttime

Listen on the premium feed

The students who descend on Halifax each year come from far and wide, but despite the depth of their diversity, there is at least one thing they all have in common.

It's a dark brooding thing that dwells in the pits of their parent’s stomachs.

Luckily, it's easily ignored with the simple thought "that stuff doesn't happen in Halifax" or "my kid is too smart for that".

But, as a tragic few have learned, ignoring it is about as effective as covering your eyes to avoid an oncoming train.

Nightmares do come true, and they often happen to good people.

One such nightmare is the 1989 disappearance of then 19 year old Kimberly McAndrew who was last seen exiting the Canadian Tire store she worked at.

During this episode we will learn about Kim's disappearance, two possibly related crimes against young women, and three equally disturbing suspects.

The Story of Holly Bartlett

May 22, 2019/ Nighttime

Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2010

In life Holly Bartlett was a conqueror.

Born with a condition that would lead to complete vision loss, Holly refused to allow her blindness to prevent her from living life to it's fullest.

She had an active social life, a career, an education, and a network of friends and family that looked to her as an inspiration.

But, all the good things that were happening in Holly's life came to a screeching halt on a cold night in March of 2010.

After spending a night out with friends, celebrating her upcoming graduation, Holly was found gravely injured in a nearly inaccessible area underneath a downtown Halifax bridge.

the police investigation into the circumstance that would lead to her injuries, and in turn her death, was surprisingly fast.

The Police believed the death was accidental, however... it seems they are about the only ones that feel that way.

Holly's friends, family, and supporters have been very vocal about their dissatisfaction with the police investigation of Holly's death. An investigation many call at best, flawed and at worst, derailed by an ignorance about living with blindness.

In this episode we will be joined by Maggie Rahr (host of What Happened to Holly Bartlett) for a discussion about a case that will make you scratch your head, and make you scream.

The Three Cape Breton Boys on the Tracks

May 01, 2019/ Nighttime

When a member of your childhood peergroup loses their life, a few things may happen… shock, dismay, sadness, perhaps a wake up call, but ultimately it's something and someone you will never forget.

In this episode we will hear of one such story and how someone close to those involved is dealing with it.

We will be joined by Ken Jessome, who back in the summer of 1970 lost two of his childhood friends under strange circumstances.

The event has been haunting him, and many others who grew up along side him ever since, but it wasn't only the tragic deaths that have been troubling Ken. It was the puzzling circumstances that lead to them and the fact that no one seemed to have looked into it.

Now, nearly 50 years Later, Ken Jessome vows to do all he can to share the story the the three Cape Breton Boys on the tracks.

Was it a Sasquatch in Pictou County, NS?

February 03, 2019/ Nighttime

In 2015, When I first launched Nighttime, One of the first requests I made to listeners was for story ideas that took place in, or in some way involved, the forest.

The first response I received, lead me to this episodes story.

Myles MacKenzie sent me an email sharing the story of an animal encounter he and some high school friends had in the woods of Pictou County Nova Scotia.

Actually, "Animal Encounter" is a bit of and understatement. Don't roll your eyes before you hear the story but, Myles and his friends, they believe they encountered the legendary Bigfoot.

It happened back in 2003, when Myles and a few members of his track team were running sprints in the dense woods of the Green hill provincial park.

Whatever the group encountered, it wasn't like anything they nor their coach had experienced before or since. Nor was nothing they would ever forget.

Tonight in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by both Myles MacKenzie as well as his high school track coach, his father Stephen MacKenzie.

Our Topic, will be Pictou County's surprising history, with Bigfoot.
