Original Release: September 30, 2025
Hosts: Corinne Vien and Sabrina Deana-Roga
Guest: Alex LeMay, Paranormal Investigator

Episode Overview

This episode dives deep into the world of paranormal investigation with guest Alex LeMay, a prominent figure in the paranormal community famous for her investigations, haunted object collections, and custom-made investigative equipment. The conversation oscillates between personal hauntings, notorious haunted sites, ghostly mischief, shadow work, and deep philosophical questions about time, existence, and the lasting effects of trauma—in both the living and the dead.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Alex's Paranormal Origins and Sensitive Abilities

(03:00–06:17)

• Alex describes herself as having "always been haunted," starting from childhood "imaginary friends" which she now understands as spirit interactions.
• Recalls moving into a new apartment at age six and being greeted by the voice and presence of a spirit ("He was very nice to me... like, 'Oh, why are you having a bad day? Can I do anything for you?'" – Alex, 04:08).
• Experiences increased during puberty; sometimes couldn't distinguish living people from spirits for up to a minute ("I saw a lot where I was like, are you alive? Are you not alive?" – Alex, 06:44).
• Alex considers herself "sensitive to spirit," as she can sometimes see or feel spirits but doesn't identify strictly as a medium.

2. Early Hauntings: The Bathroom Intruder Incident

(06:59–09:33)

• Alex recounts an intense teenage experience where she and a friend believed a man was hiding in their bathroom—boots visible under the door, faucet running—only for police to find nothing. This validated the experience as paranormal and not just imagination.
• “I think it happens to me more because I've leaned into it so much. I'm so curious as to what's going on. Those experiences lit this fire in me." – Alex, 05:25

3. Life with Haunted Objects and Boundaries

(10:12–15:31)

• Alex owns haunted dolls and takes good care of them, keeping the more intense ones in the garage and the “nicer” ones in her room ("As long as they're nice to me, everything's fine." – Alex, 12:19).
• Stresses the importance of setting verbal boundaries, both for safety and respect ("Boundaries are very important when they're in your possession." – Alex, 12:35).
• Outlines basic protocols for haunted objects: clear communication, stating rules aloud, monitoring how she feels around them, moving misbehaving ones further away.

4. Haunted Object Mishaps and Ethics of Rehoming

(18:56–21:04)

• Humorously shares the story of turning a doll into a REM pod, only for accidents, tech malfunctions, and general chaos to ensue—interpreted as the doll's anger ("So I'm, like, on my desk, I'm cutting her head open... and I burned myself really bad. And I was like, oh, my gosh, what was that?" – Alex, 19:12).
• Ultimately rehomed the “spicy” doll safely and felt the attachment break ("The act of packing it away, saying goodbye in itself is good enough." – Alex, 21:04).

5. Bringing Haunted Objects to Investigations

(22:21–23:43)

• She sometimes takes active haunted dolls on investigations, particularly ones equipped with sensors—though one is “so dramatic” it breaks its face often and is now left at home.
• The humor and chaos from these objects bring comic relief ("She says a few words and smashes her face open. Like, that is very dramatic." – Corinne, 23:44).

6. Notable Investigations and Spirit Interventions

Favorite Experience (26:27–31:15):

• At age 12, Alex woke up at a friend's house to see a figure she thought was her friend's mom, witnessing the figure lock the door before a break-in attempt. Later learned it was her friend's deceased grandmother who likely protected them ("That was this pinnacle moment for me." – Alex, 29:03).
• "It also makes me wonder, like, you know, how many times do we have some sort of spiritual intervention that's helping us through life or saving us from certain things, and we don't recognize it..." – Corinne, 30:00

Scariest Experience – Waverly Hills
(32:05–39:00):

• Investigated the morgue at Waverly Hills Sanatorium, crawling into a body drawer alone to question an entity believed to cause attachments.
• Used a REM pod that consistently signaled “yes” to questions about malevolence, feeding on fear, and causing harm:
  • “Are you malevolent?” Yes.
  • “Are you feeding off people’s fear?” Yes.
  • “Were you created through human intervention?” Yes.
  • “Do you want to do harm to people?” Yes.
  • “Are you the one attaching to everybody?” Yes.
    ("It had this sense of, like, desperateness... it absolutely needs the fear." – Alex, 37:51)
• Felt a sense of “impending doom,” reinforcing the seriousness and dangers of certain hauntings.

7. Philosophy: Power, Manifestation, and Trauma in Hauntings

(41:14–46:32)

• Alex believes much paranormal activity is shaped by human intention, belief, and fear.
  • “This is our plane, this is our realm, we have the absolute power... Believing that helps keep us protected." – Alex, 39:21
• Discusses why some traumatic hauntings (like the Smurl family case) seem to resolve spontaneously: lack of attention or belief causes them to “slowly disappear.”
• Conversation draws parallels between haunted places, collective consciousness, and manifestation: “If there's more than one person... saying this isn't haunted anymore, then it's not going to be haunted anymore.” – Alex, 42:09

8. Paranormal Humor: Ghost Fetishes and Teen Mischief

(47:25–54:52)

• Shares lighter investigations, such as a ghost named Roger with a foot fetish (“I put my foot up, and I was like, make the REM pod go off, and you'll get to see a toe. And I start, like, taking my sock off really slowly... Everything in the room is lighting up over me taking my sock off slowly.” – Alex, 49:00).
• Another case: spirit box repeatedly shouts "anal," causing collective giggles and highlighting the variety of ghostly personalities.

9. Deep Dive: Time, Reincarnation, and Shadow Work

(55:17–65:00)

• Philosophical musings inspired by a dream visitation from her father—who explained the non-linear nature of time after death, simultaneous reincarnation, and soul fragmentation.
• Moving discussion on EMDR therapy and the idea of “haunting places” with fragments of our own souls while alive ("You can actively haunt a place while you're still living somewhere else." – Corinne, 61:49).
• Emphasizes the healing power of spirit work for both the living and the dead: "Having that conversation and feeling seen is enough sometimes to help break that." – Alex, 62:26

10. Paranormal Tools: Building Custom Equipment

(66:28–70:58)

• Alex started making her own investigative equipment to deeply understand how they work, improving the integrity of her investigations.
• Most inventive tool: a handmade spirit-activated Ouija board that illuminates when touched.
• Favorite device: the SB7 Spirit Box, as she's so attuned to the sound that “I hear everything out of that.”
• Recommends Gary Galka’s filters and spirit boxes for clarity during live sessions.

11. Haunted Locations and the Allure of Bisbee

(71:32–73:04)

• Mentions the Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee as one of her favorite and most reliably haunted sites for active investigation: "There's a lot of ghosts. There's one malevolent one… the staff are very aware of how haunted this place is." – Alex, 72:13
