Saskatoon paranormal enthusiast creates “Haunted Saskatoon and Regina” guides

A Saskatoon author has put together a couple of guides to the most haunted locations in both Saskatoon and Regina.

Called “Saskatoon’s 50 Most Haunted Places,” and “Regina’s 25 Most Haunted Places,” they include homes, cemeteries, fields, forests and other adrenaline-inducing locations.

If you’re not trick or treating and parties are a no-no this year, the guides could keep you busy and away from other people, but closer to the ghosts and goblins.

Jeremy Miller says he came up with the idea after creating his popular “Off-Grid Saskatchewan Getaways” Facebook page and guide last summer. He says the collection of haunted locations was the result of a lot of research on local paranormal social media threads and forums, YouTube videos, books, and his own years of experience.

“As Halloween was approaching, I figured there’s going to be a lot of people looking for alternative Halloween plans, so I kind of came up with the same sort of alternative idea where you know, a lot of these locations were based outside, and so it’s a lot safer option.

“A lot of the locations are just places that I picked up along the way because of my interest in… paranormal locations or things that are just out of the ordinary.”

The PDF download has the GPS coordinates of 50 locations in Saskatoon, and 25 locations in Regina.

“With each location comes a backstory, just to explain why it is supposedly haunted, it lets you know whether there are any testimonials or first-hand experiences that I’ve been able to find.”

While Miller doesn’t want to give away his best locations, one of them is in Saskatoon at the Nutana Pioneer Cemetery.

“If you go there at night, and you walk across the street- and you’ve gotta do this when it’s dark out and the street lights are on. What you’re going to do is look at your shadow. And every single time you walk across that street and you look down, your shadow will have a tail… no matter where you move to the side, forward — that tail will be there. They call it the Devil’s Tail Crossing.”

Some of the other locations include names like “The Evergreen Field Walker, The Black Alley, and the James Anderson Park Peeper.”

The historic Marr Residence, Saskatoon’s oldest home still standing on its original site, and former Field Hospital- is another creepy location, and is said to be the most haunted home in the city.

Regina’s list includes “Dead Man’s Farm, Dock of the Damned, and the Fountain Phantom.”

Miller’s Facebook Page has more than 10,000 likes so far, and over a thousand comments on the various locations, both for haunted and other remote getaways.

There is a small fee to download each list.
