ParaReality Flashback - Pesky Ghosts

July 25, 2026 · 1 h 5 min

Show notes

Not every ghost is terrifying. Some seem more interested in playing tricks than striking fear. In this Flashback episode of ParaReality, we travel back to one of the show's earliest broadcasts from 2004 to explore the curious phenomenon of mischievous hauntings. Why do some spirits move objects, make unexplained noises, hide personal belongings, or play harmless pranks on the living? Are these encounters evidence of intelligent hauntings, poltergeist activity, or something else entirely? Join Sandman as he examines why these "pesky ghosts" behave the way they do and shares practical suggestions that have been used to calm—or even end—these unusual paranormal disturbances. Whether you're revisiting this classic episode or hearing it for the first time, you'll discover that while paranormal investigation has evolved dramatically over the past two decades, the mystery surrounding haunted homes remains as fascinating as ever.
