One of my favourite drives through the Albertan foothills leads to the Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo Jump Historic site. On today's episode, I talk about my memory of visiting the historic site, look at some of the history of the spot, and what it is like today.

In 1763, a man is found murdered in his barn in Saint-Vaillier, Québec. This murder held a twist, and it became an important indicator during a transitory time in the state we now call Canada's history. Today's episode includes a touch of true crime, mystery, history, and a ghosty vibe too: perfect for Halloween.
