Ep. 15 - Till Death Do Us Part

The day of love is fast approaching.  Love is an emotion felt by all, living and dead.  Even after death, some have not departed the ones they fell for.  True love, forbidden love, unrequited love – there is a ghost story for that!  Kaz and Rachel chat about the ghost stories in our provinces that have to do with Love – whether it was mutual or not!
Chocolates and flowers not required, but accepted.

Ep. 14 - Once Upon A Time.

Twenty-one years ago, Rachel embarked on a journey that she never thought would have been part of her story. After a chance meeting with a Psychic Medium, Rachel would begin her deep dive down the rabbit hole of the paranormal.  With Kaz currently soaking up the sun in a tropical paradise, Rachel will answer the always asked questions of “How did you get into paranormal?” and “How/Why did you start The Paranormal Seekers?”.  Welcome to her TedTalk.

Ep. 13 - Haunted Nova Scotia

We are off again on another haunted trip! This time we are heading way East, to another coastal province – Nova Scotia.  A province known for its lobster, lighthouses, the Cabot Trail, and whale watching, Nova Scotia also has its fair share of ghost stories and haunted locations.  Between being the landing base and burial ground for victims of the Titanic in 1912 and the Halifax explosion that saw at least 1,782 lives lost in 1917, it is no wonder that the province has quite the stories to tell.  And yes, there is enough room for two people on that door….

Ep. 12 - A Canadian Guide To The Hinsdale House

In July 2024, The Paranormal Seekers ventured across the border into the state of New York to investigate the infamous Hinsdale House. Featured on numerous TV shows and YouTube channels, the Hinsdale House has reports of negative energies, poltergeist activity, elementals, native spirits and a portal. Kaz and Rachel discuss the investigation and their thoughts and ideas on who/what is haunting the property and how an American haunting might feel different than a Canadian one. Bats not included.

Ep. 9 - Kawartha Settlers' Village

Pioneer Villages are always a great place to investigate – one building is always original to the land, while the rest have been relocated.  Kawartha Settlers’ Village is one of these locations where each building has its own resident ghost/spirit.  From a tuberculosis farm outbreak to a murder and everything in between, Kaz and Rachel talk about what has happened during their many (and ongoing) investigations of the Village.  It was in Bobcaygeon… Where the ghosts revealed themselves one spectre at a time….

Ep. 8 - The Place That Shall Not Be Named

On National Ghost Hunting Day in 2023, The Paranormal Seekers investigated a location in the Greater Toronto Area that had never been investigated before.  With its location and vulnerability, we cannot share the name and defining figures.  Kaz, Rachel and special guest Leanne, discuss the place that shall not be named and why Rachel isn’t allowed to be on her own there.

Special Edition - Wildwood Sanitarium

We made this podcast short and sweet, as we couldn't focus - didn't help that we had thousands of little eyes watching us from a room to our right.
Built in 1900 (although records state it was probably earlier), Wildwood originally opened as an Osteopathic private hospital in 1909. When Tuberculosis became front and centre in the 1920s, it was forced to change paths and open as a Sanitarium.
Kaz and Rachel briefly discuss the house/hospital, as well as how far they are willing to travel to investigate haunted locations.
How far are you willing to travel to investigate? And how much would you be willing to pay a location for the priviledge of doing so?

But can you really ever leave?  We may not be staying at Hotel California, but we definitely have stayed as some pretty haunted hotels and inns!  Kaz and Rachel delve into the haunted hotels and Inns that can be found throughout the Great White North.  Looking for a Haunted Getaway?  Don’t miss out on this one.
