Cody and Nicolina switch up this week’s Hometown Haunts episode with a fun game of “Guess the Celebrity Ghost Story.” Nicolina tells the tales of 7 famous celebrities and their encounters with the paranormal, while Cody, a celeb in his own right, has to guess who it happened to. Hints were given, laughs were had, and baby onesies were at stake. Can you guess who, too? Find out on this week’s episode of Para(normal).

You’re feeling unwell, your eyes are gaunt, your skin is pale, things are looking grim. Naturally something sinister is at play…a vampire, perhaps? Well, that’s what the citizens of New England thought in the 1800s as “consumption” otherwise known as tuberculoses spread across the country killing 25 percent of the population. In this episode of Para(normal), Nicolina tells Cody the legend of Mercy Brown and the New England vampire panic, which drove the hunt for the “undead” and the belief that vampires were the root cause of this deadly disease.

Disclaimer: Para(normal) does not believe in fighting against COVID-19 the same way that mass hysterics tried to fight “consumption” in the 1800s, and you should not take the advice of Cody Crain (or any podcast personality for that matter) on issues that require science and the assistance of extensive medical professionals. The end.

In our longest episode ever, Nicolina and Cody interview the creators of the podcast “Spencer Wants to Know,” Spencer Litzinger and Eli Bovard. The weekly podcast centers around Spencer who revisits her childhood learning struggles while her boyfriend Eli quizzes her on different subjects to see if she can redeem herself and learn things along the way. We also talk about a bunch of creepy stuff like Spencer’s early memories with a psychic medium who told her “darkness” would always follow her, her belief in the paranormal and how its changed over time, and a recent horrifying experience at a seance which brought back the murderer of an 8-year old boy.

This Hometown Haunts episode begins by introducing our new temp host, or G-HOST if you will…the man, the myth, the legend, sir Cody Crain graces us with his presence on the show. He comes hot on the heels of a new role in the show aptly called, “Ghosts.” Nicolina chats with Cody about his experiences on set so far, why he loves tall men, and why Rose McIver is a literal angel. The two then share some listener stories including the sighting of a dog ghost, and a number of chilling hospital hauntings. Laughs and scares ensue. Enjoy!

On this episode of Para(normal), we celebrate Marie’s final episode before heading on maternity leave. In honour of this, the girls do a fan favourite (and one of their favourite) themes: past life regression stories. Nicolina shares the story of Ryan Hammons, an Oklahoma native, who at 5 years old began recalling his past life as Marty Martyn, a film director and agent, who died in Beverley Hills, California in 1964. Marie then tells the story of the Pollock twins, Jacqueline and Joanna who were killed in a car accident in 1957, and then seemingly “reincarnated” as their twin sisters, Gillian & Jennifer Pollock.

On this Hometown Haunts episode we have Trevor Campbell from the podcast “You Made Me Queer” on the show. Trevor chats with us about his ultra-Catholic upbringing and the pilgrimages he and his family took to haunted locations around the world. He and Marie bond over not being abducted as children, and we crack the code of what a true child ghost is versus what a child-demon ghost is. Plus, we share a wild listener story from Peach Tattoo, who believes they saw the ghost of their partners father while alone in the home he passed in. All this and more, on Para(normal)!

Canada has a lot of haunted places we have yet to explore, and on this episode of Para(normal) we unearth some of the spookiest spots from across the country. Marie starts us off with the Cherry Hill House in Mississauga, Ontario, one of Canada’s top haunted landmarks. The house, now a diner, continues to be haunted by the original owners, specifically the ghost of a small girl, who is frequently sighted in the windows of the vacant rooms. Nicolina then takes us all the way to Indian Head, Saskatchewan where she shares the sad story of The Screaming House, where a grieving mother’s ghost plays on repeat as she watches her young child’s untimely death from the stone house windows.

The girls also give details into their latest Instagram giveaway, a Spooky Prize Pack that includes some special Halloween treats for listeners. Head over to @paranormalpod to enter now!
