With Halloween 2011 just behind us – I am reminded of October 2010, when an intense debate about séances and religion was sparked and burned across Canada. I was at the center of this debate – and for the first time, here is my story.
In early 2010 I approached the Moose Jaw Western Development Museum about the possibility of putting together a Halloween event at the Sukanen Ghost Village. The event would be one that saw a fusion of traditional Halloween cheese and real exploration into the presence of energy that might be present in the buildings on the property. All of the buildings on the Sukanen property are old structures from towns that are no longer inhabited. A lot of the pieces have a story – and a fair bit of history. After talking with the WDM about the event it was decided that a better venue would be Moose Jaw’s Western Development Museum. A place which many of the employees claim is actually haunted.
