It’s that time of year when the weather starts to turn and the evenings get darker faster than before.
But as Halloween creeps up, it’s not all pumpkins and candy.
For those intrigued by the supernatural, a new report identified Canada’s most haunted provinces.
BonusFinder Canada looked at a variety of spooky factors, including the number of haunted locations, cemeteries and memorials, ghost towns and communities, abandoned properties — and even the species of spiders — in different provinces.
They used the data to assign provinces a score out of 10. (Note: Due to the lack of availability of data, Prince Edward Island and Northwest Territories were not included.)
Saskatchewan is considered the most haunted, boasting the creepiest regions in Canada, with a score of 7.4.
It had the highest concentration of memorials per 10,000 residents (5,368), and one of the highest number of cemeteries per 10,000 residents (20).

Saskatchewan also has 140 ghost towns, while about 12% of the Prairie province’s properties are abandoned.
That includes Regina’s historic Government House, which is believed to remain the haunting grounds for former groundskeeper Peter Rindisbacher.
Just behind Saskatchewan, with a score of seven, is Newfoundland and Labrador, which boasts the highest number of cemeteries — a total of 1,821 — per 10,000 residents (34).
There are also 341 ghost towns and the highest amount of abandoned houses (16.5%) out of all the provinces.

Commissariat House in St. John’s is renowned for its paranormal activity, including sightings of a spirit believed to be Anne, the daughter of a former colonial governor.
Anne reportedly died of tuberculosis in the house, and her ghost is supposed to be seen wandering the hallways or gazing out the windows.
Nova Scotia came in third with a haunted score of 6.1 due to its number of cemeteries (22) per 10,000 residents and volume of memorials – 4,743 per 10,000 people.
While it has a barely there number of ghost towns — only eight in total throughout the province – 9.2% of its properties are abandoned.

Alexander Keith’s friendly ghost reportedly has a reputation for making appearances at Keith’s Brewery in Halifax, often near the old cellars. Beer lovers can hardly blame him for visiting every now and again.
In fourth place is Manitoba, scoring 5.8 on the haunted scale. Of all the provinces, it has the creepiest-crawliest factor in that it is home to 39% of the 1,379 species of spiders discovered in Canada.
Rounding out the top five is Yukon, with 11.9% of its houses being abandoned and a decent number of ghost towns (2.05) per 10,000 residents.
New Brunswick, Alberta and Ontario followed in sixth, seventh and eighth places, respectively, while British Columbia and Nunavut tied for last.

Tainted chocolate bars found in Mississauga and Timmins after Halloween has police reminding parents to carefully check their kids’ candy.
Peel Regional Police issued a public safety notice Wednesday about a needle found in an Oh Henry! bar.
“This morning we received a report of a parent finding what is believed to be a sewing needle inside a chocolate bar,” police said on X. “Thankfully, no one was injured because they took the time to check it.”
In a statement released later in the day, police said it’s believed the candy bar was handed out in the neighbourhood south of Mississauga Rd. between Portway Ave. and Gatley Rd.
“Police are reminding parents and children to check through all Halloween candy before eating and to report any instances where they suspect the candy has been tampered with,” cops said.
Only one such incident had been reported to Peel police as of Wednesday afternoon.
However, Timmins Police said a trick-or-treater in that northern city made a similar discovery.
“The candy involved consisted of a wrapped chocolate bar with a needle inside,” police said.
The child was trick-or-treating in the areas of Diane Cr., Hart St., Murray St., Toke St. and Donna Cr.
A Facebook post by Angie Rowe urged any parents whose children went trick-or-treating on those streets to “check your kids candy.”

“The police have been notified!” Rowe added. “Just horrible that someone would want to harm a child!”

Needles found in kids' Halloween candy: Police

Off with their heads was Trudeau Halloween theme in Nightmare on Sussex Ave.

Prime Minister Justin Trudean and son Hadrien dressed up for Halloween in a photo posted to Instagram on Oct. 31, 2023.

Just call it ‘Bloody Ways.’
Of course, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s famous ‘Sunny Ways’ declaration in 2015 has long since been been replaced by Aga Khan Island, SNC-Lavalin criminal charge deferment, the We Charity scandal, China spy gate deferment, the cold war with India, and of course the famous family vacation trip with Bollywood movie-set wardrobe.
And no one forgets all of the PM’s famous blackface costumes.
But this Halloween trick or ghoulish treat with the PM’s nine-year-old son Hadrien dressed as a horror movie-style decapitated cadaver zombie has pushed aside the PM known as Mr. Dressup’s “We’re Team Barbie” movie night with eldest son Xavier, 16.
The costume depicts a headless person, with blood pouring out of the neck, holding up Hadrien’s head.
“Hadrien seems to have misplaced something … but that’s not going to stop him from trick-or-treating,” posted the prime minister on social media Tuesday. “Happy Halloween, everyone — have fun out there!”
Yikes! Nightmare on Sussex Avenue.
“Oh my Goodness. Given the events in the Middle East a beheaded children’s costume is mightily inappropriate,” Ontario Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod wrote on X of the post.
The Halloween night horror from Rideau Hall in Ottawa has gotten many social media users commenting. The reaction to this one seems to be in the eye of the beholder. Many feel it was tone deaf at the least and insensitive at the worst. Others counter it’s just a dad out on Halloween with his young son, enjoying the occasion that is meant for wearing clever, scary costumes.
But there is no getting around the bad timing nor the not reading the room that is the world still reeling from the barbarism of Oct. 7 that saw 1,400 Jews were slaughtered by Hamas — some reported to have been beheaded similar to what Hadrien was displaying in the PM’s tweet.
Certainly not having fun with this were some Canadians, including many in the Jewish community, who did not find the this humorous or appropriate.
Insensitive and cruel are the kinds of words being used and are hard to argue. Just what was the newly single dad-prime minister thinking? Or was he? Many are wondering.
“Why post this?” asked retired Conservative senator Linda Frum on X. “Hadrien didn’t need the attention and the Jews didn’t need another kick in the teeth.”
The PMO is yet to comment. But many others are.
“The callousness is beyond belief,” wrote former Canadian ambassador to Israel Vivian Bercovici on X. “I get that it’s Halloween. But in light of what’s going on in the world. This just is not cool. Not funny. And he is a sick sick man.”
Writer Melissa Mbarki posted, “I don’t usually have an issue with costumes but weren’t babies beheaded earlier this month?”
The Halloween post combined with a photograph and posting from the PMO talking about the rising concern of Islamophobia has some questioning the motives.
“Make no mistake,” wrote CTV journalist Alan Fryer on X. “Both of these photos posted today by the PMO were a big (middle finger emoji) to the Canadian Jewish community which finds itself under siege.”
Not everybody, however, was concerned.
“Awesome costume Hadrien! Have a wonderful Halloween Ignore the disgusting people who want to make a child’s Halloween costume a political statement,” Jenn Will replied to the PM’s post on X.
Of course, Trudeau himself has never been shy of taking advantage of a political opportunity.
The prime minister, who himself was dressed in what some believe was a take of ‘fringe minority’ trucker/redneck attire, has certainly called Canadians out in the past for what he feels is offensive — like the time he corrected a woman saying ‘mankind’ by telling her it should be “peoplekind.”
But now it’s not Trudeau’s over-the-line costumes making as many waves as his son, who was trending on this year’s bloody fright night.
