Paranormal Home Inspectors

Paranormal Home Inspectors is one of those Netflix finds that is perfect to waste twenty minutes yelling at. It’s got a whopping single star, and no positive reviews to speak of. It’s a failure as a paranormal show, and as a reality show.

A laugh riot
But it is very funny.

It follows three professionals: one licensed home inspector, one spiritual healer, and one medium, as they investigate houses in Canada to determine if the residence is haunted, or just shitty.

The first episode is hysterical: the home inspector, Brian Daley, is able to quickly determine most of the resident’s complaints, including a door that opens by itself, growling noises, and a shattered fishbowl, are all perfectly mundane. The door isn’t hung well, there are raccoons in the attic, and the fishbowl was shitty. He performs his job well and gets the hell out without calling the homeowner nuts to her face.

Then the spiritual healer,  Nadine Mercey, comes in, pronouncing the place filled with evil spirits. Her assistant is struck with a headache so severe she either leaves the house or quits the show entirely. I’m not 100% sure which. A motion sensor alarm goes off while they walk the house in the dark, asking for contact. Woooo.

Meanwhile, the medium, Michelle McKay, is researching the history of the house. She finds nothing of real interest in my humble opinion, but the names of the people who built it are the same/similar to the names Nadine spat out. Big deal.

Finally the medium meets with the homeowner. She tells her ‘Yeah, there’s logical explanations for everything, BUT OMFG, LOOK, NAMES AND SOME BOYS VANISHED IN THE AREA! HOLY SHIT, I THINK THEY WERE MURDERED HERE!’

And the homeowner says ‘Okey-dokey, ghosts it is!’

I’m a believer. I’ve seen a couple apparitions, heard phantom voices and footsteps, and even been GRABBED by something so hard it left a bruise, and I think these people are full of crap. The homeowner doesn’t just want to believe, she needs only the barest confirmation that something spooky is going on.

There’s a difference between an open mind and an empty one. Remember that if these kooks are ever
investigating something strange in your neighborhood.

  1. I have found a great Hermosa Beach Certified Home Inspector and I have heard that he has experience of many years. I am thinking to hire him for the inspection of a commercial building that I am going to invest in. Could you provide some tips to hire a property inspector?
