Well, everyone, THIS IS IT. The LAST official long weekend of summer.

Summer 2026 is currently on life support.
Please gather respectfully as we prepare to say goodbye.

SUMMER 2026
May – September
“She went too fast.”

CAUSE OF DEATH:
Back-to-school flyers, pumpkin spice and someone at Costco putting out Halloween decorations in July.

This weekend, we encourage everyone to honour summer appropriately:
You have approximately ONE LONG WEEKEND to cram in every summer activity you forgot to do.

🔥 BBQ EVERYTHING.
🍔 Eat like calories don't exist on statutory holidays.
🍹 Drink something out of a cup with a tiny umbrella.
🏖️ Go near water.
🔥 Sit around a campfire.
👻 Summon something.
😴 Sleep until your body physically rejects the concept of productivity.

Because after this weekend - THE ROUTINE RETURNS.
Tuesday morning is going to kick open the bedroom door like: “GOOD MORNING, YOU LAZY GOBLINS. REMEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES?!”

Because somewhere in the distance…
🍂 a leaf just fell.
🎃 a pumpkin just awakened.
👻 a ghost just whispered “spooky season”

…and Mariah Carey is beginning to defrost.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

So from all of us at Par’Eh’Normal, have an absolutely fantastic Labour Day Long Weekend!

Police officers, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, search & rescue personnel, correctional officers - this one's for you!

You've seen people on their best days, and their worst. But have you ever experienced something you simply couldn't explain?
Did you see a shadow where no one was standing? Hear footsteps, voices, or your name being called in an empty building? Encounter something unusual at a hospital, fire hall, police station, ambulance base, jail, or even at the scene of a call?

We know these experiences aren't always easy to talk about, but we'd love to hear your stories. Whether you're comfortable sharing publicly in the comments or prefer to send us a private message, we're all ears.

No judgment. No ridicule. Just genuine curiosity about the unexplained.

Police officers. Firefighters. Paramedics. Dispatchers. Search and Rescue teams. These are the people who witness some of life's most emotional, heartbreaking, and unforgettable moments. They often spend countless hours in homes, hospitals, accident scenes, abandoned buildings, long-term care facilities, and places where life can change in an instant.

Over the years, many first responders have quietly shared stories they simply can't explain. A voice calling their name when no one was there. A feeling that someone was standing beside them moments after a patient had passed. Equipment behaving strangely with no obvious explanation. A child describing an individual that wasn't even there or who had passed at the scene.

Whether these experiences have a paranormal explanation, are the result of extreme stress, coincidence, heightened awareness, or something science has yet to fully understand, one thing is certain - Many first responders don't talk about them.

Why? Because of the stigma.

In a profession built on trust, professionalism, and evidence, admitting you've experienced something unusual can sometimes bring fear of being ridiculed, questioned, or simply dismissed. As a result, countless stories stay locked away.

You don't have to believe every story, but you can listen with respect. Every account adds to the conversation and helps us better understand the extraordinary moments people encounter in extraordinary careers.

The "Third Man" Phenomenon.

This is arguably the best-known phenomenon involving first responders and emergency personnel.

Instead of seeing a ghost, people in life-threatening situations—including firefighters, paramedics, police officers, mountain rescuers, soldiers, and search-and-rescue teams—report feeling the presence of an unseen person who calmly guides them through the crisis.

Common reports include:
Hearing a reassuring voice.
Feeling someone standing beside them.
Being told exactly what to do.
Looking around afterward only to discover no one was there.

Many psychologists believe it's a coping mechanism during extreme stress, while others believe it could represent guardian angels, spirits, or something science has yet to explain.

Police officers, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, search and rescue teams, and other first responders often find themselves in places most of us never will.

Empty hospitals at 3:00 a.m.
Century-old homes after tragic events.
Abandoned buildings.
Lonely country roads.
Historic fire halls.
Silent schools.
Long-term care facilities.
Cemeteries.
And countless locations where people have experienced the very best, and the very worst moments of life.

While their job is to focus on helping others—not chasing ghosts—many first responders have quietly shared stories they simply can't explain.

Some describe hearing footsteps in buildings they know are empty. Others have reported doors opening or closing on their own after a call has ended. Some have heard voices over the radio that couldn't be identified. Many have experienced the strange feeling that someone was standing beside them, only to turn around and find no one there.

Others tell stories of patients seemingly saying goodbye to loved ones who had already passed away, mysterious lights in places where there should be none, or an overwhelming feeling that they were somehow being watched.

Are these experiences caused by exhaustion? Stress? The unique environments they work in? Coincidence? Or could there be something more? No one can say for certain.

What is clear is that first responders witness extraordinary moments every single day, and sometimes those moments leave behind questions with no easy answers.

Episode 83 – Code Spooky with special guest, Ryan.

First Responders see a lot of things while on duty – including ghosts! From witnessing final moments of life, to getting called out to a possible break and enter, they never know what might happen when they arrive. Our special guest this week, Ryan, is a retired police officer who has had his fair share of paranormal encounters on the job that left him with more questions than answers.

Why did the policeman ticket the ghost? He didn’t have a haunting license. We will show ourselves out!

Today in Canadian Paranormal History:

Imagine being a kid playing near a cemetery when you look toward a rocky outcrop and see something staring back at you. Something only about four feet tall. Something with reddish, rough-looking skin, a bald head, a bare chest, and a heavy black beard. And then imagine coming back the next day, and seeing it again.

Welcome to one of Quebec’s strangest UFO stories: The Coleraine Humanoid Incident.
📍 Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine, Quebec
📅 August 1968

According to accounts of the case, a group of local boys between roughly 7 and 15 years old reported seeing a strange humanoid perched on a boulder overlooking the local cemetery. The creature was described as dwarf-like, approximately four feet tall, with reddish, bumpy or reptile-like skin and a dark beard. The children reportedly returned to the area over the following days — and claimed the mysterious figure appeared repeatedly.

Then came the UFO. Witnesses described a strange disc-shaped object near the same rocky area, estimated at roughly 30 feet across, displaying blue, white and red colours. Some accounts say it appeared as though it were attempting to land behind the boulder and left behind what looked like a trail of smoke or vapour.

Eventually adults became involved. One account preserved in the CUFOS humanoid case files says that an adult named George Bogus initially didn't believe what his nephews were telling him — until he reportedly witnessed the phenomenon himself. When he returned the following day with around 100 people, however, neither the mysterious creature nor the saucer appeared.

More than half a century later, the story of the Coleraine Humanoid remains one of Canada's wonderfully weird UFO mysteries.

Who's done time at the Carleton County Gaol?
Okay, maybe not actual time.

Have you ever visited the Carleton County Gaol in Ottawa? Whether you took a daytime tour, wandered the historic cells, or were brave enough to spend the night at the Ottawa Jail Hostel - we want to hear from you!

👀 Did you hear unexplained footsteps?
🚪 Did a cell door seem to have a mind of its own?
🌡️ Feel a sudden cold spot?
👤 Catch a shadow out of the corner of your eye?
😳 Or did absolutely nothing happen except discovering just how uncomfortable those old jail cells really are?

The Carleton County Gaol has a long and often grim history, making it one of Canada's most fascinating historic sites. But the big question is: Did YOU experience anything paranormal?

Drop your stories, photos, or videos in the comments! Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, we'd love to know what your experience was like.

Ever wanted to spend the night in JAIL, voluntarily?!
Well, in Ottawa, you absolutely can!

The former Carleton County Gaol has traded inmates for overnight guests and is now home to Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel — meaning you can literally sleep behind bars without having to explain anything awkward to your family.

And this isn’t your average hostel stay!
🔐 Sleep inside a former jail
🛏️ Choose from different room styles, from private/single accommodations to rooms for groups of up to 10 people
⛓️ Wander the historic corridors once occupied by prisoners
👀 Take one of their jail tours and learn about the building’s fascinating — and sometimes very dark — history
🥐 AND THE BREAKFAST?! AMAZING. Seriously. We need to discuss the breakfast. 😂

Of course, considering the building’s history, you might also discover that not everyone checked out when they were supposed to.

Whether you’re a history lover, paranormal enthusiast, dark-tourism traveller, or you just want to casually tell people, “Yeah, I spent the night in jail in Ottawa,” this is definitely one for the bucket list.

Check out Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel’s website for more information, room options, jail tours and to book your own night behind bars!
