The Cursed Catholic Church

If you have ever traveled around the province on the grid roads you will see how many rural churches dot the landscape. Due to the changing rural communities most of these churches are no longer used. Most have been been left for special occasions or abandoned all together, These churches are usually 50+ years old so their history is rich. One would think they would have interesting stories right? Well this one does... The story goes.. A nun at the catholic rural church was seeing a man from a non-catholic family. She found out she was pregnant. They tried to hide it but when the priest found out about the pregnancy from the non-wed couple he was furious. This was a huge sin and against everything the church stood for. So the priest took matters into his own hands and killed the nun after the baby was born.He also killed the baby shortly after. Since then the church has been cursed. Fact or fiction? You decide.  There are no records of this that I was able to find. ...

Batoche - A national Historic Site

Batoche if you don't know is a historic site in Saskatchewan. A beautiful, scenic and historic location. If you live in the Saskatoon area then you have probably been taken there on a field trip or two along with its neighbor Fort Carlton. However if you haven't heard its also apparently the site of a ghost or two. Some history on batoche: " In 1870, The Northwest was brought into Canada as a new territory. The Métis people were a half native, half French group of people who lived in these lands with no formal government or laws. They immediately reacted to the arrival of Canadian authority by challenging that authority and declaring that they should only be brought into Confederation as a province with recognized authority and representation. Louis Riel led this movement and the birth of the Province of Manitoba was the result. The Métis did not end up with the retention of the freedoms they valued and many moved further west into the Saskatchewan areas as Mani...

The Little Cedar Church

Oh the cedar church.. where do I start? There is a small rural church in this province that is completely cedar inside (smells like a sauna). That is why i call it the cedar church as I will not disclose its real name. I have visited this church twice - once during the day and once a night. I have had the same thing happen to me twice. All was well pulling up to the church, then I walked up to the church and opened the door. I got the instant feeling of being watched. It felt like I was not welcome in the church by whatever was inside. With a first step in the church I was instantly sick to my stomach - so much so that i had to back out and sit down. A terrible feeling from nowhere - when I was outside i was fine. It took some time but i did go inside, sick again ... I pushed forward. The little church is beautiful inside - pews still in line, some decor remains and the woodwork is fascinating! However I could not kick the feeling of being watched. I was uncomfortable the entire ...

A Catholic Haunting

 Saskatchewan is a province full of religion. Years ago their were many missions, convents and private catholic schools all over this province. Most of these locations were demolished but most of the churches remain at these sites. Some of the schools also remain around the province, most are re-purposed. Why am I telling you this? Because their is a haunted religious site where only the church remains that is known to be very haunted. The locals all know about this building and each has had a different experience. The church that remains at the site was becoming run down a few years ago. The building was falling apart and the vandalism was starting inside the church. I was told by some locals that people will feel their legs being grabbed, arms being pulled and there is a feeling of someone watching them. The church is very active and whatever remains is not friendly. It is believed that what remains is aggressive and doesn't take kindly to younger people that enter the chur...

Sinnet Road

Sinnnett was established in 1905 and consisted of the merging of 4 school districts. The first business was a blacksmith shop in 1915. Also in this year the telephone company was formed. In it's finest moments Sinnett had 2 elevators, 2 grocery stores, elementary and high schools, garage, post office, parks, rink and even an oil station. Sinnet also had the first credit union in the area. The last business in Sinnett was closed in 1969. Today there is nothing left of Sinnett except a small plaque commemorating its existence. The town of Sinnett may be long gone but it's apparent that not all residents have left. The road in front of the Sinnett Catholic church and cemetery has become legendary. The road seems to be home to a ghost car. If you drive this road you may see headlights come towards you, but as you approach the hill and get on the other side you will see nothing. This has  been seen by countless eyewitnesses. Was this an old resident ...

Bekavar Church

 Bekevar church is a Heritage Site built between 1911-12, located near Kipling Saskatchewan. Bekevar was one of Canada's largest Hungarian settlements with the church becoming the central point. The church is made of wood with large twin spires at the front. There is also an a large iron gate at the entrance of the property. There is also a cemetery nearby.   The Bekevar church may be sitting alone on a gravel road but it is anything but lonely. It is said to be home to a man that protects the church. There have been many reports of the bells ringing, doors slamming, doors locking, cold spots and a male voice. Since this church is hardly used, is this man staying behind to protect his beloved church?
