Hello, I'm Wynne Thornley. In life, I am a Canadian Esoteric Teacher, and Author. I am also a supernatural nerd. My interest with the unknown began when I was a kid, due to having my own misunderstood psychic experiences.
My life long study of the strange and unusual has prepared me for the work I am called to do now; taking me places other lightworkers won’t go. This has taught me about how many fallacies the masses still believe about the paranormal. The Dark Side of Lightwork is my effort to begin taking the Hollywood out of the world of the supernatural, paranormal and mystical.

Back in September of 2024, a friend tag me in the commentssection of an Instagram Reel with the comment quote “Have you heard of this?? Sounds gnarly” unquote and I was immediately intrigued.
The reel was creepy, dark, unsettling and it had my Spideysenses tingling.
Due to my obsession with all things strange and unusual, there are very few urban legends or local haunts that I have not heard about. But they are out there. So, when something like this reel comes into my consciousness, I am drawn to find out more.
In today’s episode, I am going to deep dive into an urbantale that is finding its ways out of the corners of the internet and into our collective hive mind.
Have you heard of the Water Babies of Cannon Beach?
And what do you know about The Bandage Man of Highway 101?
