A psychic who always walks in a home and predictably "senses a presence". And a researcher who's job it is uncover the dark, tragic past of the property because, apparently, every property has one. A small team stays the night in the property with lights off and calls upon the alleged spirits to make a noise, flicker a candle, deal a deck of cards, whatever.
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. At least once I would like to see either of them come up empty handed or not be able to corroborate something. In the first episode, our intrepid home inspector brings up that the homeowner of the potentially haunted property owns a cat and he explains one of the strange events—a closet door opening on it’s own—as the cat possibly pawing to get into the closet. As a cat owner myself, I can confirm that cats will try to get into anything behind a closed door. In the second investigation we’re introduced to Nadine, the team’s medium.
Cat or Ghost?
He’s there to explain why things are happening based on his understanding of home construction. 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. Another thing that becomes more and more apparent as we move through the season is that Brian tends to find something that fits the bill for the reported activity and checks it off his list often not recreating the circumstances that he uses to explain the activity. Throughout the paranormal investigation process, the show will highlight certain elements, enhancing noises and replaying potential orbs flying through the room. All standard fare as far as paranormal reality TV is concerned.
At every location there are a surprising number of spirits or entities, most either being malevolent or having tragic, emotional stories. During her walk-throughs, Nadine often feels upset—either due to the information she’s receiving or taking on the feelings or emotions of the entities—and on occasion has to pause or take a break from her investigation. Overwhelmed and terrified by strange activities and occurrences, homeowners contact a paranormal home inspection team to figure out the cause.

We don’t really receive much in the way of analysis from Michelle, just some comments by the client stating how they agree or disagree with different aspects of the three investigations. Most of the time, this involves the client being offended by Brian’s conclusions as they explain the stated experiences as the result of a physical issues with the property. Most clients are content with some of Brian’s conclusions, while they discount others completely—and sometimes rightly due to it expanding beyond his expertise as a home inspector. 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.

The Introduction
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. At the beginning of each episode, we open with the narrator introducing us, the audience, to the property owner and the problems their facing—through a combination of testimony and dramatic re-enactments . During this process we’re also introduced to Michelle as the team’s researcher. Throughout introduction, we encounter Michelle interviewing the property owners and doing research on the computer, in front of microfiche machines, and in the local library in footage that feels more like a montage from an 80s movie. Paranormal Home Inspectors is an interesting take on the paranormal investigation genre. It employs the traditional premise of the ghost hunting reality TV show and adds a small twist—introducing a “Certified Home Inspector” to the paranormal investigation process.

This sequence, like paranormal State, is overproduced with annoying filler music and punchy vamps whenever something is heard or seen. 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.
Nadine has no incentive to not connect this with spirits in the home. The main issue with the reveal, though, is that while there are three distinct investigations that the client receives information from, two of the three investigations end with the conclusion that the property is haunted. 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.
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. While I think bringing in a home inspector to rule in or out any possible explanations for reported phenomena is a good idea it really doesn't make the show stand out from Paranormal State or Ghost Hunters. His function actually appears to be more of a professional skeptic with a flashlight as he seems to think everything the residents report can be explained, often with some pretty ridiculous explanations.
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. The final segment of the show, the reveal leaves something to be desired. This portion of the show consists of Michelle sitting with the location’s owner, showing them footage of the three different investigations. The stated purpose of this is for the client to see everything and take away their own conclusions from what they’ve been presented with.
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. My personal favorite example of this comes in the second episode where there are some markings on the bedroom walls near the ceiling. The client complains of “writing” appearing on their walls, which Brian explains away as wallpaper glue not being cleaned up after painting the walls or old paint bleeding through. 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.
