Timeline
[00:00:00] The Paranormal Paranoids intro plays. These images appear in a quick montage: Red lightning with a storm cloud, two moons traveling toward the corners of the screen glowing a strong white, a black a white spiral, and a brown CG door with a gold handle opening into the light. There is a slow, pitched-down, sinister laugh.
[00:00:08] In Chorus “Oh, the paranormal paranoids investigate the world beyond because there are some things we can’t explain.”
[00:00:08] Another montage of Riley, Laura, Peter, and David in shots from other parts of the series. The shot of David occurs in “Mary Talbert”.
[00:00:15] In Chorus “lot’s of times the mysteries turn out to be a hoax and other times they’re just inside your brain.”
[00:00:15] This montage shows a planet flying through space in sepia tone, a black and white waving figure with a large bald forehead, a spaceship in lime green floating through space, and a whittling brain that the camera zooms in on. This is followed by a shot from Quentin Lawrence’s Trollenberg Terror (1956) of the titular crawling eye.
[00:00:21] In Chorus “Peter!”
[00:00:21] Peter jumps in front of a tree – notably he is wearing the outfit he wears for “Mary Talbert”. There is then a shot of him in a tan sweater at night.
[00:00:25] In Chorus “Laura!”
[00:00:25] Laura poses in front of the camera three times from over her shoulder. Notably, she is wearing the outfit he wears for “Mary Talbert”.
[00:00:28] In Chorus “David!”
[00:00:28] David stands in front of a tree. The camera cuts to extreme close up in a shot made iconic by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s Blair Witch Project (1999). Notably, he is wearing the outfit he wears for “Mary Talbert”.
[00:00:31] In Chorus “Riley!”
[00:00:31] Riley jumps out from behind a tree! Notably, she is wearing the outfit she wears for “Mary Talbert”. The next shot depicts Riley in an interior location, at night.
[00:00:33] In Chorus “the paranormal paranoids, the paranormal paranoids, the para, para, para, para, pa, pa, paranormal paranoids!”
[00:00:33] In montage: A shot of Peter, Laura, and Riley dancing that takes place in “Mary Talbert”, a shot of Riley coming to grab the camera that occurs in “Mary Talbert”, a strange figure in a leotard in space, a figure ramming directly into a rocket in space, and the title card backed with an explosion.

Thoughts on Lincoln Elementary School Episode
Phew! Another video that gets the heart pounding. The Paranormal Paranoids enter a school with a pretty creepy back story of a janitor. After walking slowly around and lots more of David spending most of the time filming Riley, an absolutely terrifying real creature appears with demon eyes and slams a door. The crew is pretty upset and rushes out. Peter is SUPER HAPPY and high-fives with David. He wants to film the paranormal stuff and there it was. He also interesting points to David setting it up.
Riley is not impressed. David makes a point of focusing on her to ask if she is ok, and doesn’t do this with Laura or anything else. This is part of why people believe David to be suspicious with all this attention he puts on Riley.
Riley is not Ok. Laura mumbles a few comments about cut the filming.
That last bit by Laura is often missed, but I think it put Laura being concerned for Riley. She also did this early before the school creature appears. Telling Riley to not just run off by herself (which Riley doesn’t listen to of course).
This is a pretty spooky clip at Lincoln Elementary School Episode that shows more and more Paranormal things are happening to the Paranormal Paranoids and it is affecting Riley.
