Par’Eh’Normal

First Responders see a lot of things while on duty – including ghosts!  From witnessing final moments of life, to getting called out to a possible break and enter, they never know what might happen when they arrive.  Our special guest this week, Ryan, is a retired police officer who has had his fair share of paranormal encounters on the job that left him with more questions than answers. 
Why did the policeman ticket the ghost? He didn’t have a haunting license.  We will show ourselves out!

This week, Kaz and Rachel check themselves into the infamous Ottawa Jail Hostel—where the room rates are great, but the former inmates may never have checked out! Once known as the Carleton County Gaol, this historic lockup has a dark past filled with executions, overcrowded cells, and enough ghost stories to make you sleep with one eye open.
Join us as we explore the haunted history, infamous residents, paranormal encounters, and answer the important question: would you spend the night in a former jail... knowing some of the guests might still be serving their sentence?

Welcome to Union Cemetery — Oshawa’s most exclusive gated community.
In this episode, we roll through the who’s who of people buried here, spill the historical tea, and question why some of them are clearly still lurking. Famous names, forgotten legends, and spirits who absolutely would’ve thrived on gossip. Respectful? Technically. Unhinged? Completely. Bring a flashlight and a sense of humour—just in case someone follows us home.

Kaz and Rachel take a respectful (and slightly humbled) step back to talk about Indigenous beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife—where the focus isn’t jump scares or shadow figures, but connection, balance, and what happens after this life ends.
We explore how many Indigenous cultures view death not as an ending, but as a continuation—focusing on spirit journeys, ancestors, and the deep connection between the living, the land, and the unseen. Along the way, we contrast this with modern paranormal panic and realize that maybe the scariest thing isn’t the afterlife—it’s how little most of us understand it.

This week on Par’Eh’Normal, Kaz and Rachel pull back the velvet curtain on psychic scandals—where crystal balls get cloudy, predictions get very convenient, and “I sense something” turns into “I googled you first.”
From famous frauds to eyebrow-raising cold reads, we break down how the tricks work, why people fall for them, and how a few bad actors managed to give the paranormal a reputation it’s still trying to sage away. Tune in for side-eye, skepticism, and a strong reminder that real intuition shouldn’t come with a subscription fee.

This week on Par’Eh’Normal, Kaz and Rachel dive headfirst into the psychology of hauntings—aka, is your house actually haunted, or is your brain just being extra? From sleep paralysis and pattern-seeking brains to why your mind turns every creak into a ghost with a backstory, we unpack how fear, stress, and expectation mess with our senses.
Join us as we explore how the mind fills in the blanks, why stress makes everything creepier, and how sometimes the scariest thing in the room is your own imagination—followed closely by that one unexplained noise at 3 a.m.

Kaz and Rachel tackle the death care industry with special guest Funeral Director, Janet—because nothing says “light listening” like embalming, etiquette, and the big question: do ghosts haunt funeral homes… or are they just really committed to the décor? 
We talk traditions, misconceptions, and why funeral homes are somehow both the calmest and creepiest places on Earth. Do spirits linger? Do they mind the playlist? And if a building is literally designed for the dead, does that make it the most haunted… or the least? It’s informative, slightly uncomfortable, and proof that even in death care, there’s always something lingering.

Rachel and Kaz put their fate in the hands of the internet—and lost. Voted in by you, our followers, the duo spent the night at the famously haunted Angel Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where the history is rich, the spirits are active, and sleep is strictly optional. 
From creaking floors and late-night nerves to the realization that “overnight investigation” is just a polite way of saying why did we agree to this, we break down the experience, the hauntings, and why letting followers make decisions is always a risk. Thanks for voting. We regret nothing. (Mostly.)

This week on Par’Eh’Normal, Kaz and Rachel suit up with protection rituals—because raw-dogging the paranormal is a terrible life choice. From salt lines and sage to symbols, prayers, and that one method your aunt swears works, we break down how people try to keep spirits, entities, and bad vibes from crossing the line.
Join us as we discuss warding, cleansing, intention-setting, and why protection rituals are less about summoning power… and more about telling the universe to respect your boundaries.

Ever gotten a gift that came with vibes? The bad kind? This week on Par’Eh’Normal, we unwrap haunted dolls, cursed antiques, and objects that absolutely should’ve stayed at the thrift store. From gifts that ruin lives to items that definitely don’t come with receipts, Kaz and Rachel ask the important question: Is it haunted, or just a terrible present?
Listen now—because it’s the thought that counts, not the demon attached.
