This week on The Grim Curriculum, we step away from the history books and into something a little more immediate, and a lot more unsettling. Drawing from Reddit’s “Let’s Not Meet” community, we explore a collection of real-life encounters that came far too close for comfort. These are moments where ordinary people found themselves face to face with something deeply wrong, situations that could have ended very differently with just one small change. From eerie gut feelings to narrow escapes, each story carries that lingering question: how close can you get to danger before you even realise you are in it?

Featuring stories shared by Reddit users florianizer, SweatyEV, Banluil, ba_ko-s, and puddingtree, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the most chilling stories are the ones that almost happened.

This week on Grim Curriculum, we are beginning our deep dive into the life and crimes of Canadian serial killer Allan Legere, the man known as the “Monster of the Miramichi.” In Part One, we start at the beginning, tracing Legere’s early life in Miramichi, where the warning signs were already present. What unfolds is a story that grows darker with time, as troubling behaviour escalates quickly into something way more disturbing. This was a case we knew very little about until Legere’s recent death in March 2026, and what we uncovered was far worse than we expected. This is a case that would go on to shock an entire region and leave a lasting mark on Canadian criminal history.

After escaping from custody, Legere unleashed a wave of violence that sent shockwaves through Miramichi and surrounding communities. Fear took hold quickly. Residents locked their doors, routines changed overnight, and at the height of the panic, Halloween celebrations were even cancelled as the community grappled with the very real threat he posed.

Despite being physically strong, Legere repeatedly targeted vulnerable individuals. Senior citizens, isolated residents, and even members of the clergy were not safe from his attacks, adding another layer of fear and outrage to an already shaken community.

In this episode, we examine the rampage, the response from law enforcement, and the atmosphere of terror that defined this chapter of the case, finally ending with his capture and final prison sentence.
