The North Atlantic is a restless place. Its forests brood, its coastlines whisper, and its old stories cling to the fog like something with claws. In this episode, I am joined once again by Chelsea and Evan Carr Kinnear of It Came From the Maritimes for a journey through the shared folklore of Maine and Atlantic Canada — a region where the boundary between land, sea, and legend has never been clean.
Together, we wander through tales of things that move beneath the waves, watch from the treeline, and linger in the corners of old logging roads and fishing towns. Creatures born from saltwater, superstition, and centuries of storytelling rise to the surface, along with the strange encounters that keep these traditions alive today.
From ghost‑ridden coastlines to deep‑woods mysteries, from ancient fears to modern sightings, this conversation explores the living folklore of the North Atlantic. Nothing here is told straight; everything is filtered through fog, memory, and the uneasy feeling that some stories are still unfolding.
Chelsea and Evan Carr Kinnear are the creators and hosts of It Came From the Maritimes, a podcast dedicated to the folklore, ghost stories, and cryptid legends of Atlantic Canada. Their work spans Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland, blending historical research with firsthand accounts and regional storytelling. Beyond the podcast, they’ve expanded into live events, paranormal investigations, and travel‑based episodes that guide listeners through haunted locations and folkloric landmarks across the Maritimes. Their show captures the eerie, salt‑soaked character of the region — a place where the ocean keeps its secrets and the woods are never entirely quiet.
