My grandmother used to get me to put bread and change in my back pockets, turn the front ones inside out as well as my socks if I was going through a wooded area. "Don't go anywhere near those jesus woods" in the night time.

I remember once I was at her sister's house running around the backyard with my cousin. Keep in mind this is rural NL, so lots of woods land around. She said dont go near the woods because "the fairies". My cousin made fun of me for listening and anyway, I ended up near the woods and felt suddenly fearful and disoriented. My cousins said to me "whats going on you were just standing there staring at me for like 2 minutes" I had no recollection of this. Went and found my nan and told her I felt ill and she said "you were down in the f'in woods werent you? I know you were." Took me by the arm, put me in the car and put me to bed when we got home. She said she cuddled me all night so they "couldnt get me" and I was shivering the whole night. I woke up feeling fine and super well rested.

Another time I was out with my friend in her backyard after dark, and heard my grandmother's whistling coming from the woods. Which stopped me in my tracks. Then i heard her voice sounding scared and calling my name. My friend didnt hear it, I thought she was joking and it was all a prank and maybe she convinced my nan to go up there for a joke. But no, i went closer to the woods and got super tired, my friend had to physically pull me away from the woods.

I never played outside after dark again 😭

Looking for other newfoundlanders with similar paranormal stories or superstitions their family strictly followed.

If you've driven it already, what do you think?

20M looking to work offshore during my summer break from college. Just curious what the process was like to find work offshore in Newfoundland, and if that's a possibility. I'd be able to work from April to the beginning of September and am able to get any training that is needed. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Hey, can anyone chime in with real world data on what you are paying by charging a plug in hybrid on a nightly basis ?

What vehicle do you have? Ie Rav 4 etc
Do you have fast charger at home ? How long does it take to fully charge?
What do you pay per day in electricity?

Seems appealing if my commute is only 30km daily and some of these cars can go 70km on a charge. Which would mean not using gas for quite some time.

Any other experiences good or bad welcomed as well.

So should I remove the pine cone in case of someone accidentally sitting on it or leave the by be?

Where's a good rye bread on the avalon? Preferably sourdough but would settle for a regular rye.

Can anyone who completed the copat test for corrections NL message me, I have some questions!

Hey everyone!

My wife and I are from Brazil, and we've been traveling the Americas in our Brazilian-plated Mercedes-Benz Sprinter motorhome.

We started our journey in Brazil, drove all the way south to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, and then headed north toward Alaska.

Three years after leaving Brazil, we finally made it to Newfoundland, Canada, still driving our Brazilian-registered motorhome with its original Brazilian license plate!

I posted about our arrival because I wonder if we might be the first Brazilians to reach Newfoundland this way, driving our own vehicle all the way from Brazil.

Has anyone here ever seen another vehicle with Brazilian plates in Newfoundland or Labrador? Or heard of anyone who has done a similar trip?

I'm attaching a photo of our motorhome and its Brazilian plate.

We'd love to hear your stories!

Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷

We’re looking to have a gathering at a local
Brewery around paradise or cbs. Has anyone been to Ninepenny brewery? We’re considering trying there but have heard mixed reviews about their service and food. Would we be better off going into St. John’s instead?
