On a quiet Sunday night in 1987, Chicago’s airwaves were suddenly hijacked by a masked figure who spoke in static and riddles. Two major TV stations were overtaken without warning, their signals replaced by a distorted parody of Max Headroom and a message no one could quite understand. The broadcast lasted less than two minutes, and whoever was behind it was never found.

Tucked away in the Quesnel District Museum in British Columbia sits Mandy, a nearly 100 year old porcelain doll believed by many to be one of Canada’s most haunted objects. Donated in 1991 under unsettling circumstances, Mandy has since been at the center of countless paranormal claims, from malfunctioning electronics and disembodied footsteps to a gaze that seems to follow visitors. She has appeared on national television, inspired films, and drawn the attention of investigators, skeptics, and believers alike. This is the chilling story of a doll whose silence may speak louder than words.

The Falcon Lake Incident is one of Canada’s most well-documented and mysterious UFO encounters, occurring on May 20, 1967, near Falcon Lake in Manitoba. Amateur geologist Stefan Michalak claimed he encountered two flying saucers, one of which landed nearby, emitting intense heat and a grid-like blast that left him with bizarre burn marks. Despite investigations by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the U.S. Air Force, the case remains officially unexplained and is often cited as compelling evidence in UFO research.
