Disturbing The Peace

Episode 18: Tall Tales

Season 2, Ep. 18

Join host, Lindsay Janes, as she dives into some of her favourite "tall tales" From farfetched disease carrying bioweapons, to commercial restaurants playing tricks on us. She even talks about UFO sightings, right here in the Peace Region and includes a story on Duhamel, Alberta and some unexplained crop circles. But first, she discusses Canadian celebrity Jacob Hoggard and his ongoing court case.

Then, she tells the case of missing person Carolyn Pruyser, who vanished in May of 1984 from Peace River, Alberta.
