On April 27, 2024, thousands gathered along a Vancouver street to celebrate Lapu-Lapu Day, a festival honouring a Filipino hero and the strength of the Filipino community in Canada. Families filled the streets. Music played. Food vendors lined the blocks. It was meant to be a day of culture, celebration, and community.

In a matter of seconds, that celebration turned into chaos.

In this episode of Canadian Creepies, we examine the Lapu-Lapu Day attack — what happened on that Vancouver street, how the events unfolded, and the immediate response from bystanders, emergency crews, and authorities. We also look at the broader questions this tragedy raised about public event safety in Canada, including the growing focus on risk assessments, hostile vehicle mitigation, and the evolving ways cities are trying to protect large gatherings.

Most importantly, we remember the people whose lives were forever changed that day and the community that came together in the aftermath.

This episode discusses a recent act of violence and may be difficult for some listeners.

She doesn’t drift through old cemeteries or crumbling ruins. She appears where chandeliers once glittered, where music played late into the night, and where glamour and tragedy quietly collided.

Known as the Lady in Red, this spectral figure is defined by her striking scarlet dress — a vivid counterpart to the more familiar White Lady. Across Canada, sightings of a woman in red have echoed through hotels, theatres, and historic public spaces, each story tied to longing, loss, or unfinished business.

In Vancouver’s Fairmont Hotel, she is believed by some to be Jennie Pearl Cox, a glamorous 1940s socialite said to linger in the halls she once frequented. In Toronto’s Lower Bay Station, commuters whisper about a red-clad figure glimpsed in the shadows. In Hamilton’s FirstOntario Concert Hall, another Lady in Red is said to wander where applause once rang out.

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, Amanda explores the folklore, history, and recurring symbolism behind the Lady in Red. Why does she appear in places built for celebration? Is she a memory, a warning, or a story we continue to retell because some spirits refuse to fade?

Not all cults gather in compounds or behind closed doors. Some form quietly, hidden in plain sight, built through screens, messages, and digital connection.

In this episode of Canadian Creepies, we examine the disturbing rise of an online network known as 764, exploring how internet spaces can be used to manipulate, isolate, and radicalize vulnerable people. What begins as community can slowly shift into control, secrecy, and harm, leaving lasting consequences for those pulled inside.

Through verified reporting and careful research, we look at how this group operated, why online environments can make exploitation easier to hide, and the broader questions this case raises about digital safety, influence, and accountability in an increasingly connected world.

This episode focuses on understanding the warning signs and the real-world impact behind the headlines, centering awareness rather than sensationalism.
