Dare the Dark

Discover the Legend. Hear the Whoop.

Step into the shadows of the Miramichi woods and uncover one of New Brunswick’s most enduring and eerie tales—The Dungarvon Whooper. This immersive storytelling experience leads brave souls along the forested trails of Blackville Municipal Park, guided by lantern light and local lore.

Beginning at the Miramichi River Valley Tourist Information Centre (168 Main Street, Blackville), your journey plunges you into a world where fact and folklore blur. Walk in the footsteps of Tom Hunter and the mysterious George Brown, as guides unravel the chilling events that gave birth to the Whooper’s ghostly cry—still said to echo through the trees on quiet nights.

With every rustling branch and distant sound, the suspense grows. Will you catch a glimpse of Whooper himself? Or will you feel his presence, just out of reach?

The Dungarvon Whooper Experience runs every Saturday at 9pm, from June 28 through the summer. Come prepared for a spine-tingling adventure—and remember, the forest has a memory. And it doesn’t forget.

Join the search. Solve a mystery. But tread carefully… something may be watching.
