About

Paranormal hauntings plague our province of Alberta. When a life ends in violence, ghosts are sure to wander the land looking for justice and revenge. Some of these ghosts are not human but rather the giant beings and beasts of a prehistoric era. What unfinished business do they have?
Alberta is rich with paleontological sites. Dinosaurs that have laid buried under our feet for millions of years. Bone beds have been uncovered across the province, but so have stories of ghosts, revenants, necromancers, urban myths, time travel and worlds beyond our own. Stories of the humans who disturbed their slumber; the pioneers, colonists, scientists, capitalists and any entities who deserve the wrath of these long- lost giants.
Send us a tale worthy to be shared around the campfire. Send us your dinosaur ghost stories.
