Ep. 25 - But Is It Haunted?

Is it haunted?  Is it really haunted?  Do you find yourself asking these questions when you see a creepy looking building?  Have you ever looked at a brand-new home and asked the same question?  Kaz and Rachel sit down to discuss what makes or doesn’t make a place haunted, why some places labelled such, and why people think that all old buildings have a ghost or two (they might not be wrong).  Buildings might not always be haunted, but the people who enter them could be….  DUN DUN DUUUUUN…..

Ep. 23 - The Thomas House Museum - Oakville, Ont.

Located in Oakville, on the shore of Lake Ontario, sits a small, historic Cabin.  The Thomas House Museum was built in 1829 by Merrick Thomas.  In 1955 the cabin was moved to it current location and would open up as a museum, depicting what life was like back in the 1800s.  While this two-room cabin may be small, its paranormal experiences were large!  Was it a ghost/spirit who opened the cabinet door? Or was it Kaz’s epic dance moves?

Ep. 22 - Hello From The Other Side.

They sometimes do call a bunch of times and not always from the same number (or location).  Throughout the years, The Paranormal Seekers have investigated locations where some of the ghosts/spirits have really important messages to get across, or just want to say something.  Sometimes, they just follow certain team members around because they just want to talk.  Kaz and Rachel discuss the messages that they’ve received, and experienced, during their investigations with the team.

Ep. 19 - Children Of The Paranormal

Are imaginary friends really imaginary? Probably not.  Children have the unique sense and ability to connect to the other side.  While many children don’t seem to care, some can become frightened as they can’t explain what is happening.  As parents, this can be hard.  Kaz and Rachel discuss children and the paranormal – how they process their experiences and what you can do to help them.  Bobby thinks this is a great idea.  Right Bobby?  Bobby says yes.
