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.

We’ll uncover:
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.

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.

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.

🖤 Why did we start this podcast? Because of someone who believed in the power of shared knowledge.
Our first episode of Paraismynormal is a heartfelt tribute to the late Chris Bailey, founder of Grimstone Paranormal and our mentor, collaborator, and friend.
🎙️ Before his passing, we were dreaming up a project that would unite paranormal teams, tools, and techniques. While we didn't get to bring that vision to YouTube—yet—we’re hoping this podcast is the beginning.
💬 Have you ever had a mentor in the paranormal field (or in life) who changed the way you investigate, think, or believe?
Tell us your story in the comments 👇 We’d love to hear about the people who’ve inspired your journey.
