(Para)Normal Podcast

When Tracy and Tim Purcell opened Grapevine Farms over 20 years ago, they expected that owning and operating their own business would be a challenge.  What they didn't expect was that their new business was home to a wide variety of spirits. Join us as they discuss their journey, and the pros and cons of owning a business in a haunted location.

It never fails.  At some point during every event in which we participate, we are asked about Bigfoot and UFOs.  It was literally the first question we were EVER asked.  Why do these vastly different fields get lumped together, and why do a lot of people think that because you are an expert in one of these areas, you are an expert in all of them?  Do they have more in common than we think?  We also recap our investigation video of the Ohmann Theater, and tell a funny story from that investigation.

We get A LOT of questions about what we do.  So, in today's episode, we answer some of them.  What are our favorite and least favorite locations we've investigated?  Where do we get our equipment?  What surprised us the most once we entered the field?  Find out in this week's episode.  We also review our recent investigation video of the Seneca Falls Historical Society.

One of the most common ways investigators try to elicit responses from spirits is by using trigger objects.  What you may not realize is how varied these objects can be, and how many ways you can use them.  Join us as we talk about the our experiences using these in our investigations.

Have you ever wondered why almost all paranormal investigations on TV and social media occur at night?  The reasons are actually quite practical.  Join us as we peel away the mysticism and dive into the real reasons most paranormal investigations take place after the sun goes down.

Nobody's perfect...especially us.  In today's episode, we look at some of our most memorable mistakes, and how they helped us grow into better investigators.  We also do a deep dive into our most recent investigation video from the Gilboa Museum. (25:19).

Is there more to investigating the paranormal than showing up at a location and pointing a camera and recorder?  Come with us as we pull back the curtain on the weeks of preparation and review that precede and follow all of our paranormal investigations.  We also provide some updates on upcoming investigations and videos that will be happening soon (31:30).

Does the popularity of paranormal TV shows do more harm than good?  Join us as we dive in and explore both the good and bad elements the popularity of these television shows has ushered into the field.  We also discuss our latest investigation video (26:20) and give some final thoughts on our investigation at the Museum of Wayne County History.

Having a job in a haunted location sounds like fun for paranormal investigators, but what happens when a normal person just happens to take a job in a location that is as haunted as the Museum of Wayne County History?  This week, we sit down with Rhea Hayes, former executive director of the MWHC, and discuss how she got along with her spiritual "co-workers."
