Par’Eh’Normal

Ghost shows are everywhere—on TV, streaming, and somehow always on at 2 a.m.  So why are we obsessed with them? Even when the evidence is mostly dust, bad lighting, and someone whispering “DID YOU HEAR THAT?” into a night-vision camera?

In this episode, we dig into why we keep binge-watching grainy night-vision footage, dramatic whispering, and devices that beep at absolutely nothing. Is it hope? Comfort? The thrill of yelling “DID...

Whether it’s roses from beyond the grave or a ghost that just won’t stop checking in, join us for tales of love, loss, ...

In this episode, we shine the cryptid spotlight on everyone else—the lake monsters, winged weirdos, glowing-eyed nightmares, and creatures that look like they were designed during a fever dream. From “probably not real” to “absolutely not real but fun anyway,” we cover cryptids who live forever in blurry photos and eyewitness accounts that start with “I swear I wasn’t drunk.”

Expect chaos, questionable biology, and a celebration of...

In this episode, we spiral into the spooky logic gap: population math, extinction-level hauntings, and why your house is haunted by “a man named George” instead of a 65-million-year-old murder lizard We debate ghost population control, extinction-level hauntings, and whether dinosaurs simply moved on emotionally faster than we did. Science is questioned. Logic is lightly bullied. Jurassic Park is mentioned.

This week on Par’Eh’Normal, we’re taking a sleigh ride straight into holiday horror. Forget the sugar plums. Canada has ice demons, snow goblins, and a horned Alpine Christmas gremlin named Krampus who literally punishes bad behaviour faster than your aunt does at Christmas dinner.
