Halloween bonfire event, how traditions developed, Victoria's "refined" ghosts, Friday Food Vibes and your sports questions answered

We've got Steve Young in for Lisa today, bringing in-depth sports knowledge and news acumen when hanging out with Ryan Price.

Author and ghost storyteller Ian Gibbs joins Ryan to discuss his new book, Canada's Most Haunted, and how ghost stories differ between Victoria and Prince George. He also recounts a startling investigation at a building on Wharf Street and tells the story of Doris Gravlin, the ghost associated with the Victoria Golf Course.

Dallas from the Vic Food Guys joins us for a full hour, chatting about sports streaming controversy, local music, ghost stories and everything else we're talking about today. Plus, more local eats to be aware of, including the best of gluten-free cookies, the Unicorn Sparkles experience, the ode to the corndog and more. 

We love talking to our firefighter friends who help out with CFAX Santas Anonymous in our mission to support children and families in our community. And it turns out, we have a very specially Halloween event upcoming. North Saanich Fire Smart coordinator Travis Stewart has more on the North Saanich Halloween and bonfire event.  

We have a lot of fun on Halloween, but we often forget about the historical and cultural reasons these traditions even exist. Camosun College anthropology instructor Nicole Kilburn joins to answer all the questions you might not have thought to ask.
