The Halifax Explosion of 1917

Описание: The Halifax Explosion (1917)
The largest non-nuclear explosion in history… and the echoes it left behind.

On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the harbour of Halifax became the epicentre of unimaginable destruction. In a matter of seconds, a wartime collision unleashed a blast so powerful it flattened neighbourhoods, killed thousands and permanently altered the city’s soul.

But when the fires were extinguished and the rubble cleared, something remained.

In this episode of Haunted Histories, we explore the Halifax Explosion not just as a historical catastrophe, but as a lingering presence — a disaster whose aftermath may still be felt today. From eyewitness accounts and generational memory to reports of footsteps, voices and figures seen where nothing should be, this is a story where trauma and the paranormal quietly intertwine.

Was it grief imprinting itself on a shattered city…
or did the suddenness of so much loss leave something behind?

History may move on — but sometimes it doesn’t leave quietly.
