Summer House S10E6: Eyeing Your Mate’s Missus

This week on Para(normal), chaos meets mystery as Marie, Nicolina, and returning guest Cody Crain spiral through two wildly different — and equally unforgettable — stories.

First, we dive into one of Canada’s strangest forgotten true-crime cases: the bizarre disappearance of a beloved CBC children’s television puppet. In 1954, Uncle Chichimus vanished from a parked car in downtown Toronto, triggering national headlines, public appeals, and even a reward for his safe return. The media called it a kidnapping. Kids offered up their own toys as replacements. And then…the trail went cold. Was it a publicity stunt? A collector’s secret prize? Or just a thief expecting something more valuable inside the case?

Then the tone shifts from quirky to chilling.

We head into open waters off the Pacific Coast, where multiple U.S. Navy warships reported being surrounded by unidentified aerial objects during training exercises in 2019. Radar tracked them. Thermal cameras recorded them. Official deck logs described them. The Pentagon confirmed the footage was real. So what were they?

Advanced drones? Foreign surveillance tech? Classified military programs? Or something far stranger — objects moving seamlessly between sky and sea?

From vintage television mysteries to modern military encounters, this episode explores how the unexplained can surface in the most unexpected places… and why the questions often linger longer than the answers.

Also inside this episode:

• Cody’s dramatic return (and lawn-lurking entrance)

• Unfiltered horoscope chaos

• The accidental birth of the “Drone Bros”

• Why some mysteries feel bigger than the evidence

Uncle Chichimus & The Drone Bros

Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst.

Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life.

Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests. He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.

In the season premiere, Whose Line Is It Anyway star Colin Mochrie talks about why he should be able to run over pedestrians, putting up with strangers’ bad jokes, and the most humiliating job he ever had. Also, Alan considers the business practices of hitmen.
