Ep. 36 - Welcome To Minden.

In 2024, The Paranormal Seekers made a couple of trips to this town located in Haliburton County. The reason behind these trips – investigate the paranormal.  The first stop was Minden Hills Cultural Centre, a small pioneer village with an interesting collection of buildings.  Our second trip saw us at the Dominion Hotel, one of the oldest continually operating hotels in the country.  Both locations, definitely haunted.  Kaz and Rachel will take you on a little day trip to Minden with the history behind these locations and the experiences they had.  Buckle up, cause it’s gonna be an interesting ride.

Ep. 34 - Jester's Court

One of Durham Regions most known haunted locations, Jesters Court Pub & Eatery can be found on Queen Street in Port Perry.  A little boy, a little girl, a woman in blue, a spectral couple having a late dinner, and a cranky man on the upper floor have been reported throughout the years.  The Paranormal Seekers have spent many evenings, and days, dining at and investigating the old building and learning more about its ghostly inhabitants.  Join Kaz and Rachel as they discuss the history of Port Perry, the building and who the ghosts might be and why the women’s bathroom seems to have the most activity. May we suggest the Shepherd’s Pie for your main course and the Deep-Fried ice cream for dessert?

Ep. 33 - This Town Is Dead

Bankhead, Broughton, Balaclava.  What do these towns have in common, other than they all start with the letter ‘B’?  Well, they’re all dead.  That’s right.  These towns no longer are the vibrant, bustling communities they once were.  They’re now derelict, blink and you’ll miss it buildings on your way to your destination. In this episode Kaz and Rachel discuss Ghost Towns throughout Canada and why/how they ended up as a spectre of their past. “Perhaps it's the crossroads of another time. Maybe it's too lonely out here.”  John Mellencamp might have gotten it right….

Ep. 31 - Define: Ghosts

What is a Ghost? Is it different that a Spirit? Why do they hang around? Is there more than one type of ghost? While there may be no definitive answer to questions about ghosts, there are some opinions and definitions that have shaped the answers that have been shared throughout the years. Join Kaz and Rachel as they discuss what they believe a ghost is, why they might be hanging around and the types of ghosts that might be out there. We’ll take Spectral Beings for $600, Alex.

Ep. 30 - Sparta House Tea Room

THIS IS SPARTA! (Sorry, we had to).  June 1, 2024, The Paranormal Seekers visited the little town of Sparta to investigate the Sparta House Tea Room. Built in 1838, the building was originally a hotel.  Over the years it would become a General Store, a hardware store and an undertaking business, eventually becoming the Tea room that it is today.  Kaz and Rachel go over their experiences during the investigation of the Tea House and what they think is still going on there.

Ep. 29 - Can I Pet That Dog?

You’re lying in bed one night, just about to drift off into a peaceful sleep.  Suddenly you feel something jump onto the bed by your feet.  You feel this thing circle and knead the bed, making a comfy spot for itself, before it lies down in.  You can feel a small mass near your feet but feel safe knowing your cat has joined you for your slumber.  As you start to drift off to sleep again you sit up in a panic.  You don’t have a cat (at least not anymore) and the space that you felt the cat is empty…. So much for sleeping.  In this episode Kaz and Rachel discuss animal ghosts/spirits and how having a spectral pet can be the best kind, maybe…. No demon dogs though, please.

Ep. 28, Part One - Psychics, Mediums, Sensitives...OH MY!

In part one of this two-part episode - Kaz and Rachel are going to jump right into this controversial topic with both feet.  Do people really have the ability to connect to those who have passed.  Are they really getting this information from the Great Beyond or have they been looking things up on the world wide web?  What the heck is the difference between a Psychic and a Medium?  What is a Seer?  Do witches still exist? SO MANY QUESTIONS!  Bet they didn’t see this one coming.
