The Baldoon Mystery is considered to be Canada's first ghost story. In 1829, John T. Mcdonald's farm was terrorized by inexplicable events. Fires would erupt around the house, beams would fall from the ceiling, and stones and bullets would be thrown through the windows with no one around. It is said that at one point John had written his name on the stones, thrown them in the river, only for them to be thrown through his window again, name still written on them, and still wet from the river. The events all stopped when John had shot a black headed goose with a silver bullet. The next day he saw a woman in town with her arm in a sling, matching the wound he inflicted on the goose.

This series does not set out to prove or disprove the 'trueness' of these stories. Rather, it presents the folklore, myths, and urban legends as the story has been shared. The Baldoon Mystery is a well documented folklore and This episode follows the folklore closely. Though certain elements were left out (i.e. an ominous Black Dog, additional attempts to cleanse the home) for story clarity.
There is little written on the characterization of the persons depicted, thus the personalities and dialogue was created by our writers.
