In our first episode back after a short Summer break, Jenniferlyn sits down with our favorite critical-thinking YouTuber, Side Eye Guy, a prominent figure in the paranormal debunking community.

They discuss the evolution of paranormal content on platforms like YouTube, the importance of skepticism, and the impact of performative reactions in ghost hunting videos.

Side Eye Guy shares his journey into debunking, the interactions he's had with other paranormal channels, and his thoughts on the future of paranormal entertainment.

Our time together emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in the paranormal community, while also exploring the balance between entertainment and genuine investigation.Please go over to SEG's pages and share the love! You can find him on Patreon and YouTube.

And let's keep the conversation going on Socials and our Website: paraismynormal.com

Before Eloise became one of America’s most haunted hospitals, it was a place of innovation, heartbreak, and resilience.

In this first part of our two-part series, we explore the origins of Eloise, from its muddy beginnings in 1839 Detroit to its rise as a sprawling medical city.

We’ll uncover:

• The story behind the Black Horse Tavern and the land’s purchase
• Eloise’s evolution into a psychiatric, TB, and general hospital
• Groundbreaking therapies and medical firsts
• The haunting truth of the Eloise cemetery
• Why Eloise remains a cornerstone in paranormal investigation

This episode is a tribute to the lives lived—and lost—within Eloise’s walls.

🎧 Part 2 will explore the hauntings, legends, and firsthand accounts from those who’ve worked and investigated there.

In this episode, Jenniferlyn discusses the essential gear for paranormal investigations, emphasizing the importance of selecting tools that enhance the experience rather than distract from it. We dive into insights on audio and visual equipment, motion detection tools, and the role of ITC devices, while also addressing the significance of intuition and the need for protocols to prevent false positives. The episode culminates in a reflection on minimalism in gear selection, advocating for a smarter, more intentional approach to paranormal investigation.Chapters00:00 Ghostly Gear06:59 Understanding Audio Equipment for Investigations14:22 Visual Tools and Their Importance20:54 The Role of Intuition in Investigations32:04 New ChapterThank you for joining us on this journey into the unknown!

What if ghosts aren’t spirits, but echoes?

In this episode, Jenniferlyn peels back the veil on Stone Tape Theory: the idea that intense emotion can imprint itself onto physical spaces—stone, wood, water, even air—replaying like an energetic recording under the right conditions. From folklore to physics, and residual hauntings to time slips, this episode blurs the lines between science, memory, and myth.

Whether you're a skeptic, seeker, or someone who just knows when the air feels different, this episode will challenge how you think about place, memory, and the invisible fingerprints we leave behind.

Join us inside the former home of author James Thurber—where a ghostly experience in 1915 inspired his short story The Night the Ghost Got In.

In this episode of Paranormal Is My Normal, we speak with Thurber House operations director Leah Wharton about the home’s unusual history, including:

• Its foundation atop the former Ohio Lunatic Asylum

• A tragic death in the upstairs bedroom

• James Thurber’s chilling encounter that inspired one of his most well-known stories

We also:

• Feature a dramatic reading of The Night the Ghost Got In

• Conduct an EVP session inside the home

• Reflect on what “activity” really means when investigating

Sometimes, the quietest nights tell the most compelling stories.

Join us as we investigate one of Ohio’s most historically layered and paranormally active buildings — the Collingwood Arts Center in Toledo.

Once a convent, then a school, now a cultural hub, Collingwood holds more than just echoes of the past. In this episode, we blend live field audio with studio insights as we take you through:

🔎 Baseline experiments in the theater

🎭 Sound-mapping and musical trigger sessions with Rocky Horror

📚 EVP attempts in the library and green room

🔥 A reflective fireside chat on scarcity thinking in paranormal investigation

⚡ And a final walk through something we’ll never forget — a wall of static that left us stunned

This isn’t just about what you record — it’s about what you feel.

Grab your headphones. This one hums.

You’ve seen it on countless investigations: the flashlight flickers, the investigators ask a question, and the light answers. But is it really paranormal — or just physics playing tricks?
In this episode of Tech or Trick?, we break down the infamous flashlight experiment:

• How the flashlight test works (and why Maglites are the usual suspect)

• The science behind the flickers: thermal expansion, vibration, and contact points

• The dangers of confirmation bias and false positives

• Our personal investigation at Miamisburg Historical Village where flashlight hits AND ITC devices pointed to something unexpected — cadmium.

• The Credibility Compass: how to critically evaluate flashlight evidence

• Mad Lab Science Corner: a simple experiment you can try at home to test it yourself

🛑 Before you trust that flicker — listen to this one.

What if spirit communication didn’t require static, white noise, or even sound at all?In this episode, we sit down with Barrie Reader, founder of Dimension Devices and one of the minds behind the innovative Chattergeist ITC tool. Known for its silent operation and data-driven approach, Chattergeist has quickly become one of the most talked-about devices in modern paranormal investigation.Barrie walks us through the journey from concept to creation, explains the science and skepticism that shaped the tool, and opens up about the delicate balance between belief, data, and interpretation in ghost hunting tech. We explore the device’s use of environmental sensors to generate meaningful output—and why they chose to exclude traditional audio altogether.Whether you're tech-curious, a die-hard investigator, or a healthy skeptic, this episode will leave you thinking differently about the ways we might be reaching across the veil.👻 Got your own experience with ITC?
