The creator of the Dark Poutine podcast--and bestselling author of Murder, Madness and Mayhem--is back with a new collection of stories for those who are curious about the paranormal, the mysterious and the unexplained

Strange, Spooky and Supernatural is divided into three sections and recounts stories of unusual and enigmatic people, places and things.

The first section explores strange people in history, including the death of escape artist and occult debunker Harry Houdini; BC resident Granger Taylor, who left a note saying he was leaving on a spaceship and disappeared; and a man known only as Jerome, who was discovered on a Nova Scotia beach in 1863 and was unable to communicate anything about his past.

The second section, about strange places, embarks on a journey around the world, touching down in locations cloaked in mystery and steeped in spine-chilling stories of hauntings, unexplained deaths and lost civilizations. This chapter includes stories about the Borley Rectory, which has been labelled the most haunted house in England; Nahanni National Park in the Northwest Territories, which is referred to by many as "the Valley of Headless Men"; and the unexplained occurrences at Old MacDonald's Farm in Caledonia Mills, Nova Scotia.

In the final section, Browne explores mysterious things including the Van Meter Visitor, an unidentified nocturnal creature that terrorized citizens of the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, in 1903; the Vampire of Highgate Cemetery, an entity that allegedly haunted the famous cemetery in London during the 1970s; and the Philip Experiment, a 1970s-era parapsychological experiment conducted in Toronto.

Strange, Spooky and Supernatural includes a foreword by paranormal researcher Morgan Knudsen, who is also a co-host of the podcast Supernatural Circumstances.
