The Winnipeg Paranormal Group’s Kelly Smith and Ashley Barnes came on the show to celebrate Halloween and talk about the Paranormal and what they do with it, for it, researching it, fighting it, learning about it and more. The team investigates both private residences and public venues throughout Manitoba, where clients need help explaining the problems they may be experiencing. The team investigates, researches, documents and uncovers any evidence of either ‘real world’ explanations or activity that can only be explained as paranormal and presents it in follow up with clients. It’s a passion project and not a full time job or business, and the services are at no cost to the client but they do take donations to cover any expenses and travel. Here’s the website to contact them and their social media accounts to follow them. Great duo filled with info and great stories, especially for Halloween!
