Demons, spirits, and second chances—step inside the world of the Spokane Paranormal Society, where faith and empathy meet the unexplained.

Co-founder Mark Porter and his team of psychics and empaths investigate homes and businesses across the Inland Northwest, helping both the living and the departed find peace. From crossing over frightened spirits to confronting negative entities with the help of St. Michael the Archangel, their mission is to bring relief—not fear—to the people they serve.

With eight years of hands-on experience, countless investigations, and a commitment to never charging for their services, the Spokane Paranormal Society is rewriting what it means to be a paranormal team—putting compassion, evidence, and community first.

We’re kicking off our 39th season of Northwest Profiles with stories that celebrate creativity, culture, and community across the Inland Northwest and beyond!

In Spokane, the fire dancers of Burn Works light up the night—transforming movement and flame into a vibrant community experience that inspires confidence, artistry, and connection.

Then, travel north to Edmonton, Canada, where macro photographer Dara Ojo captures the hidden beauty of bugs through his lens—turning “creepy crawlers” into conservation heroes.

Next, in Deer Park, Washington, Rebecca Honshiko brings a taste of home to the Inland Northwest with Los Cinco Locos Salsa. What began as a cherished family recipe from El Paso, Texas has become a local favorite.

Finally, journey to the Methow Valley, where a group of senior birders are connecting with nature and community through technology, using birding apps and local expertise to identify species and celebrate the wonders of the outdoors.

From fire and photography to family recipes and feathered friends, this new episode reminds us that inspiration can spark anywhere!

Special thanks to sponsor ICCU for their support to make Northwest Profiles possible.
