When Nadine arrives and sees this, she immediately concludes, based on her experiences in the room, that these markings are writing being formed on the walls by the spirits in the home. Brian doesn’t try to wipe it off to back up his findings, as well as test to see if the markings return for some reason. Nadine has no incentive to not connect this with spirits in the home. Michelle’s investigation does’t really touch on this. Beyond the issues with the home inspection, it surprises me that there was not one instance where Nadine or Michelle don’t find evidence to support paranormal explanations for some of the cleint’s complaints. It seems too good to be true for there to be multiple spirits and corroboration of paranormal phenomena at every single location they arrive at.
Found this series on Netflix a few days ago and have sat through 6 or so episodes. It is filmed exclusively in Canada and follows a team of investigators as they try to establish or debunk the presence of spiritual activity within private homes and buildings, very similar to Paranormal State and Ghost Hunters. The core team consists of a researcher, a home inspector, and "spiritual healer" who connects with the paranormal entities, in addition to several other production assistants.

The third, and final, investigation is the overnight paranormal investigation. Consisting of Michelle and an assistant , the paranormal investigation looks exactly like any other ghost hunting show—taking place overnight with the lights, filmed in night-vision or infrared. During their investigation, the move from room to room, asking questions while hoping to collect EVPs , hear strange sounds like footsteps and disembodied voices, and seeing movement out of the corner of their eyes. In the second investigation we’re introduced to Nadine, the team’s medium. A familiar part of paranormal investigation shows, the medium walk-through takes us through the location as the medium encounters—or attempts to encounter—the spirits residing there. Brian marches through the homes with a clipboard, checking off spooky happenings as he debunks them.
“There’s nothing unexplainable or strange in this house,” he’ll say. “Everything has a plausible explanation.” He sounds great, right? Instead of turning to paranormal or psychic explanations only when scientific ones fail, the show consistently discounts Brian’s sound, physical evidence in favor of utter bullshit.

But they ignore the handyman's reasoning about that. Then when it's night the people set up sensors to find the ghosts. I was wondering if maybe the cats or dogs were still in the house.
With a laugh, Brian quickly identifies them as residue from old wallpaper bleeding through the paint. But only a few minutes later, the same sight has Nadine riveted. ” To get a better look, she climbs—with her shoes on—onto their comforter. Sure, the show is phony to a point well-past complete absurdity, but how they manage to fill those 22 mins per episode is hard to walk away from. It's so unintentionally hilarious that you can't help but stick around to see what happens next.
The Investigation(s)
They capture "hard evidence" on every investigation. More like knocks, bangs, and lights turning on and off "on their own." You know, hardcore proof of life after death kind of stuff. Boussarhane has been a full-time psychic medium since 2004 as intuition runs in her family.
This takes the idea of ‘debunking’ paranormal phenomenon to a different place, employing someone trained in identifying physical issues with habitable structures that could be misconstrued as paranormal. With more than 20 years of experience as a successful real estate agent, Nadine knows homes. As the resident psychic for Paranormal Home Inspectors on the Investigation Discovery Channel, Nadine’s experience and renowned psychic abilities shine. Blessed with the ability to see the energy of the world around her, Nadine reads homes and environments the way other psychics read people. Nadine now dedicates her life to psychic healing, and is an author, international healer, speaker and teacher of metaphysical healing in mainstream medical facilities and communities around the world. Nadine’s success comes from an uncanny ability to intuitively understand the needs and motivations of buyers and sellers and the homes themselves.
You have three investigators who come in to check out the home. They could take footage from the different episodes and totally switch them around to different episodes and I doubt most people would even notice. If there's more to what they do, they sure don't show it on the show.
It’s always the cat…Later in that same episode, I do get rather annoyed with Brian when he goes to investigate an issue with bathtub tap handles turning on. For this item, he says that it’s sleepwalking. What annoys me is that Bryan is a home inspector. He’s there to explain why things are happening based on his understanding of home construction.
At least once I would like to see either of them come up empty handed or not be able to corroborate something. Every episode they say stuff mysteriously moves around. All five houses had cats and/or dogs.
One of Michelle’s assistants ends up crying and shivering outside during an investigation. The camera zooms in unsteadily on her cross pendant. “Get out,” she instructs the spirit within her , “Get out of me.” Another assistant leaves after complaining of a headache, never to return. They make Ghost Hunters look like it’s gunning for a Nobel Prize.
If you’ve encountered a home inspector, it should be no surprise that for his investigation he walks through the house inspecting the floors, doors, ceilings, plumbing, and basements for anything that could shake, squeak, or go bump in the night. I agree with the other review, that the show is kind of rushed and something is off to it. I like the home inspector part, and even thought the psychic was interesting at times, I liked the spooky histories behind the houses and towns but was disappointed about the paranormal investigation. To me its a interesting and unique approach just not the best with coming through. And I noticed in a few episodes they dug up accidents that happened close to the home, that doesn't mean that the spirits are " automatically" there.
Overall the show doesn't seem to come together, there's an awkward flow to it and the experts are never together at once which I think is odd. The whole production value seems rushed and compartmentalized. Not a show I'm going to keep watching. These shows are always chalk full of people getting goosebumps and saying its ghosts and that is to be expected. What is usually more interesting to me is the scientific approaches and trying to gather some sort of evidence and history to explain hauntings. This show takes all of that and throws it out the window.
Right away I thought it was sleep paralysis. They say it could be that but it's most likely aliens who abducted him. To back up such bold claims, you'd expect to see a lot of evidence, right? Michelle and company conduct what only barely passes as a paranormal investigation. A toddler sticking a digital voice recorder in it's mouth is about as scientific as anything this team tries.
Sleepwalking is just not in his wheelhouse. Frankly, after watching Paranormal Home Inspectors, I’m more afraid of the terrible build quality of the homes being investigated than I am any paranormal activity that’s been reported. Some of these places seem like they’re falling apart while others are fine aside from the kinds of things that you would expect from moving into an old home. Nadine’s walk-throughs are extraordinary. As a medium, Nadine picks up on the energies and presence of spirits or entities in the locations she visits, in some cases receiving information from them and in others communicating directly with them.
