The Woo-Woo

Lindsay Wong recounts her chaotic childhood in suburban Vancouver amid a family haunted by what they call the 'Woo-Woo'—supernatural ghosts blamed for mental illnesses, outbursts, suicides, and misfortunes.

From her schizophrenic grandmother and psychotic aunt's bridge standoff to her own vertigo diagnosis, Wong navigates abuse, superstition, ice hockey, and immigrant family dynamics while escaping to university and confronting whether she can outrun her heritage.
