For the most part - with the exception of locations - our investigations run a similar pattern, we arrive, meet with the clients, investigate, close up shop, and then head home to review the hours and hours of material we accumulated.
This past weekend OPRI did in fact experience a first for our group. We were joined by the members of Critical Junction, a local Ottawa podcast the focuses on the science of the unexplained, everything from the anti-vaxxer movement (which no one seems to be able to explain), UFOs and whether we are alone in the universe, all the way to our end of the spectrum... the paranormal and all other things that go bump in the night.

| Having the guys from Critical Junction definitely changed the dynamic for our investigation, in a good way though. It gave us an opportunity to have a group of individuals there with us to give a completely unique and abstract view of the proceedings. We as investigators obviously want to be able to say we found the proof that quantified the paranormal, and occasionally it can skew our own interpretations of the evidence collected - though we try to avoid this at all costs. |  The guys from Critical Junction. |
Having a third party people there to view how we do things not only made for an interesting dynamic but it ensured that we were on top of our game. It was also a lot of fun to interact with people who while not a part of our group, were still integral pieces to our investigation that night. Our fearless leader John Moore had this to say about the experience,
"We had a great night working with the crew from Critical Junction. They showed great professionalism and immersed themselves into what we do in order to get a better understanding of the entire process."

As with anything you experience for the first time, it can often lead towards wanting to try it again - especially when dealing with the paranormal. I know for myself, when I first became part of the team I didn't want to stop until I knew one way or the other whether the dark offered anything to truly be fearful of. Marc Viau seems to be of the same mind,
"While we didn't necessarily find any evidence of something supernatural, it was still a very interesting experience for us. It was great having OPRI on the show, and we hope to do it again some time."
Well Marc, thank you and the rest of your team for joining us for the Macdonell-Williamson House investigation. We look forward to working with you again in the future, and we look forward to sharing what, if anything we found during our night in Hawkesbury.
