This week on Para(normal), Nicolina and Marie travel from the collapse of an ancient civilization to one of Canada’s strangest paranormal cases.

First, Nicolina investigates the mysterious Late Bronze Age Collapse, when interconnected empires, cities and trade networks across the Mediterranean began falling apart around 1200 BCE. Was it the Sea Peoples, climate change, famine, earthquakes, rebellion…or a catastrophic combination of everything?

Then, Marie heads to Québec in 1889 for the bizarre story of the Dagg Poltergeist. Fires appeared without explanation, objects flew across rooms, windows shattered, and an unseen voice began answering questions, at one point claiming, “I am the devil.” The activity seemed mysteriously connected to 11-year-old Dina Burden McLean, disappearing whenever she left the farmhouse.
