Guest Speakers from the Paranormal Seekers
The Paranormal Seekers was founded in 2004 by Rachel. Along with Jay and other previous members, they started The Paranormal Seekers to investigate the paranormal, make history interesting, and bring back tourism into the surrounding areas. The Paranormal Seekers first major investigation was at the historical Parkwood Estate, located in Oshawa, Ontario.
Using psychic abilities, technology, and research, The Paranormal Seekers have investigated cemeteries, museums, commercial buildings, theatres, and historical sites. With the findings from each investigation, stories are written, filed and posted on the website.
The Paranormal Seekers take their investigations very seriously and have a process to recruit members. All of our members have been through a series of minor investigations, interviews and have a criminal background check processed. They have signed various contracts and meet all requirements. The Paranormal Seekers is a small group, with only 9 members, each having different roles and responsibilities.
The Paranormal Seekers is a registered business but does not profit from any investigations. We do accept, but do not expect donations which we use towards investigations, equipments and needs for the group. There are rules and regulations in which each group member has to abide by. They include a variety of different things, such as no drugs or alcohol, no shiny jewelry, no trespassing, clothing restrictions, age restrictions, etc.
The Paranormal Seekers have investigated many haunted locations throughout Ontario and are always looking for new and exciting places to explore. Along the way, The Paranormal Seekers have been involved in the media including, TV, internet, Radio and various newspapers. The Paranormal Seekers have also held two seminars for the Oshawa Public Library called ‘Oshawa Ghost Stories’ and ‘An Evening of Spooky Tales’.

Wikipedia:
P
aranormal
is a general term that describes unusual experiences that supposedly lack a
scientific
explanation,
[1]
or phenomena alleged to be outside of science's current ability to explain or measure.
[2]
Notably, paranormal phenomena also lack
scientific evidence
, as detectable but not well explained phenomena such as
dark matter
or
dark energy
are not commonly called paranormal.
In
parapsychology
, the term has, in the past, been used to describe the supposed phenomena of
extra-sensory perception
, including
telepathy
, and
psychokinesis
,
ghosts
, and
hauntings
. It is also applied to
UFOs
, some creatures that fall under the scope of
cryptozoology
, purported phenomena surrounding the
Bermuda Triangle
, and other non-psychic subjects.
[3]
Stories relating to paranormal phenomena are found in
popular culture
and
folklore
, but the
scientific community
, as referenced in statements made by organization such as the
United States
National Science Foundation
, contends that scientific evidence does not support paranormal beliefs.
