the Strange World of Ashley MacIsaac

/

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.

David Hamel's Granite Saucer (with Dr. Matthew Hayes)

/

According to him, the story starts in the 1970s when two extraterrestrials entered his home through his television set and took him aboard their spacecraft. While on board, he claims to have been taught engineering concepts unknown to mankind. 

From that point on, David Hamel would dedicate nearly every cent and every moment he had trying to build a flying saucer with hopes of one day travelling to their planet. 

So...  yeah.. this is a weird one. 

In tonight's episode we will be joined by Dr. Matthew Hayes who directed a film about this story 'the Granite Man of Gilmour' 

Our topic is David Hamel and his Granite Saucer.

a Visit to the Haunted Mansion in Kensington, PEI

/

The Haunted Mansion is a unique haunted house attraction found in Kensington, PEI.

What makes the haunted mansion so special is both the over one hundred year old tudor style building it calls home and the passionate owner who’s wit, ingenuity, and creativity bring the tour to life.

Unlike many similar road side attractions, the haunted mansion favors home-made equipment over the lesser inspired store bought varieties. The end result is a one of a kind tour through a one of a kind building.

In this episode of Nighttime we are going to get a behind the scenes tour of the Haunted Mansion from John Davison, the owner and creative force behind the Haunted Mansion.

What’s up with the Pentagon and UFOs? (with MJ Banias)

/

This story starts several years ago when a series of videos were leaked from Defense industry insiders. What made the footage so interesting is that it was filmed using highly advanced weapon systems from American fighter jets and it appeared to show some kind of aerial objects displaying flight capabilities far beyond what is known to exist.

Given the unofficial leaking of the footage, the video's origins were always accompanied with doubt, speculation, and rumor… But things are different now.

The United states department of defense has recently authenticated, declassified, and officially released these videos and they did so while fully disclosing that they are unable to explain the aerial objects being tracked by their fighter jets.

Tonight, on this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be joined by writer and investigative journalist MJ Banias for a discussion surrounding the Pentagon and UFOs.

the Falcon Lake UFO Incident

/

For over 50 years a revolving door of civilian and government investigators have attempted to provide an explanation for the Falcon Lake UFO Incident, yet it remains an enigma. 

What is known is that in 1967, just months prior to the other famous Canadian UFO event in Shag Harbour, a man stumbled out of the woods in rural Manitoba disoriented, vomiting, and badly burned. 

This wasn't a bonfire gone wrong or anything to do with alcohol however. 

The story this man told, and maintained until his death in 1999, was that he encountered a UFO, and got injured in the process. 

In this episode of Nighttime, Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowksi shares details of the Falcon Lake event and in doing so explains why this event has remained such a major part of Canada's UFO story.

Tonetta - 2 - the Artist in Their Own Words

/

Tonetta is the stage name used by a reclusive singer-songwriter and visual artist who since the early 1980s has been recording and sharing his original music and videos (originally on VHS and cassette). In 2008, he became an international cult celebrity after starting his first YouTube channel containing music and video that often contain explicit sexual content and a unique do it yourself aesthetic.

Tonetta’s detractors call his music vile filth, whereas fans call it the work of a pure outsider artist.

Jerome, the Mystery Man of Sandy Cove

/

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 Toronto Van Attack

/

This episode was originally released April 2018

Although Canada is no stranger to murder, madness and mayhem, we have been very fortunate to have largely avoided the type of mass murders and shootings that have become common fixtures in other countries with similar values and cultures to our own.

Sadly, just days prior to recording this episode Younge Street in Downtown Toronto was the setting of an event that many Canadians take comfort in thinking could never happen here.

In this episode, I'll be joined by my best friend Scott to discuss the April 2018 Toronto Van Attack. Our discussion includes the event, the arrest, what is known of the man driving the van, his rumored ideological motivation, and sadly... we will discuss the innocent people killed during this horrible event.

The Life and Cosmic End of Granger Taylor

/

In life, Granger Taylor was known as something between an eccentric mechanic and a mad genius. At present day, he is known around the world as the man who left a note explaining he had gone on an interstellar voyage aboard a UFO and was never seen again.

In this episode of Nighttime, We will be joined by investigative journalist Tyler Hooper who will share what he has learned about the life and cosmic end of Granger Taylor.

UFOs Above Canada - 5 - the Canadian Government and UFOs (with Matthew Hayes)

/

After releasing the prior episodes in this series, outlining my son's ufo event and the MUFON organization, I've heard from listeners curious if (and to what extent) the Canadian government is involved in the reporting and investigation of UFO events. 

In this episode of Nighttime I'll speak to someone well positioned to tell us all about our governement's surprising history with the UFO phenomena.

When Trent University PHD Candidate Matthew Hayes was considering a topic for his doctoral dissertation, he found inspiration late at night while exploring one of the many rabbit holes a google search for "UFOs" found him in.

When Mattew happened upon an archive of Canadian Government documents related to UFO reports, he found his field.

Matthew Hayes' has spent years collecting, analyzing, and trying to understand the history of the Canadian Government's relationship with the UFO mystery.

MsManda - Halifax's Independent VIP Escort

/
Manda Cover.jpg

You've probably come across advertisements for local sex workers. These are the ones that usually feature a semi nude girl with their face partially obscured and an invitation to make contact for... "a good time".

When considering 'Who are these girls?' I've always been somewhere between puzzled and ignorant... until now. 

As it turns out, Halifax is home to the independent VIP escort MsManda and she agreed to tell me all about her life, her sex work, and a bunch of other stuff that made me blush.

Frankie MacDonald, My Favorite Weatherman

/
cover.jpg

Frankie MacDonald is a 34 year old man from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Frankie, who is autistic, has become known around the world as a result of the impassioned weather forecasts and comedy videos he posts to his YouTube channel 'dogsandwolves'. With his videos gaining tens of millions of views and having been featured on T-shirts, action figures, bobble heads, and a book Frankie MacDonald is among the most unique celebrities of our time.  

In this episode, I am joined by author Sal Sawler who co-wrote 'Be Prepared, The Frankie Macdonald Guide to Life, Weather, and Everything' along with Frankie.  

the Story of Eligio 'Natureboy' Bishop

/

When 20 year old Newfoundland resident Kayla Reid went missing, it was suspected that she had traveled from her home in Corner brook to the province's capital city of St John's.

Two weeks later, when she turned up on Youtube using the name Sunray in a video filmed far from the rocky shores of Newfoundland, the story changed from a missing persons case into something much more unique.

In the days that followed, the media would facilitate a back and forth battle between the people calling for Kayla's return and the Costa Rican cult she now called her family.

In this series we explore the stranger than fiction story of Kayla Reid and the cult leader she choose to follow, Eligio ‘Natureboy’ Bishop.

In this episode, we will hear the timeline of this unique story and hear from Sunray who recently returned to Newfoundland.  

In The Rise Of Natureboy, I will use excerpts of my conversation with Natureboy that cover his life as Eligio Bishop, and end with his spiritual awakening as Natureboy.

In the prior episode "The Rise of Natureboy" we heard Natureboy describe the life he lived prior to his spiritual awakening, as Bishop (a male model / stripper / salon owner). 

In this follow up episode, the story will continue from the point he decides to leave the United States.

In this "where are they now" style episode, Sunray will tell us about what she has been up to in the 6 months since we last spoke.  

In this "where are they now" episode, I'll share as much as I know about the recent activities in Natureboy's wild wild life.
