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.
