Wellington Paranormal

The Not Ness Monster

The first episode of the new series sees Minogue and O’Leary head for the ocean when local fishermen and fisher-women including the Prime Minister’s fiancé start disappearing around Wellington Harbor at the same time as strangely localized seismic events. While Parker monitors the beach, the Paranormal team head out on the harbor with the wizened old Captain Quinn and his very small boat. As Maaka tells the maori legend of two Taniwha brothers who created Wellington harbor, a blip appears on the sonar...It’s a huge sea monster, and it seems to be heading right for the beach that Parker’s staking out!

Fear the Briannas

A bag of chips literally flying out of a local grocery store leads the Paranormal Unit to track the culprits to St. Carrietta’s, the old girls high school Officer O’Leary attended as a teen. It seems three students with the same name have somehow acquired sinister magical powers after a mysterious explosion in the school library which the Principal is trying to cover up. When a student informant gets attacked by a floating sewing machine, Minogue and O’Leary decide to try and tackle the teen witches head on. But they quickly learn that the girls have powers even stronger than magical ones...They know how to bully and some words really hurt.

Mt Victoria Hooters

When Minogue and O’Leary enforce a police ban on hooting in the Mt. Victoria Tunnel, they unwittingly release the ghost of an old police officer from the 1930s. Trapped there by decades of loud, hooting horns, he’s finally able to go back on the beat when the tunnel goes silent. But this cop uses old school methods and he’s not happy with the Wellington of 2019 having bars open ‘til all hours and ladies with exposed ankles! Sergeant Maaka realizes the old copper is following his old beat so it’s up to Minogue and O’Leary to track him down and prevent Wellington citizens from being fined and arrested for archaic crimes. But first, the cops will have to work out how to apprehend a ghost made entirely from car exhaust fumes.

Copy Cops

A dead cop turns up the police morgue that looks exactly like Minogue. But the real Minogue is very much alive. Surely that’s paranormal?! Minogue and O’Leary head to the creepy small town where the body was found and soon discover a local motel full of copies of our two favorite paranormal cops. But some of them do look a little...munted. In the exciting sequel to Series 1’s ‘Cop Circles’ episode, Minogue and O’Leary, with the help of Sergeant Maaka have to defeat a small army of alien copy cops from taking over New Zealand. Or at least the lower North Island.

The Haunting of the ’85 Nissan 300ZX ZR Turbo

When a boy racer’s pride and joy, a restored 1985 2-door Nissan 300ZX ZR Turbo simply drives out of his garage all by itself, Minogue and O’Leary investigate. They soon chase down the invisibly driven car, only to find a small cheeky kid behind the wheel. Case solved. But it turns out the kid was just a passenger and the original owner, a deceased boy racer from the 80s was the one driving. When car escapes again, he cops track down the original owner’s old girlfriend Sharon to see if she’s seen it. Sure enough, the spooky Nissan arrives with a toot of its horn - ‘Are You Old Enough?’ by Dragon - and manages to abduct Sharon and the cops! Minogue and O’Leary have to convince the ghost not to write them all off as he hurtles towards the spot where he lost his license forever.

Mobots

A series of thefts of out of date phones and electrical goods leads Minogue and O’Leary to the center of the crime, which happens to be O’Leary’s family home at the top of Mt. Victoria where her Mom still lives. During an overnight stakeout, a load of old analogue phones start vibrating into a giant robot serpent which the cops have to play snake against to stop it. The phones escape and Minogue and O’Leary are now trying to stop more newly-formed old-tech robots, including one from old vape pens, from terrorizing the neighborhood. Things become serious when the little robots form into a giant robot next to the Mt. Vic radio tower. Stopping a giant robot from broadcasting its sinister message to all those old phones in your bottom drawer is not in the police handbook.

Twas the Patrol Before Christmas

Minogue and O’Leary have to go on patrol on Christmas Eve so our cameras follow them as they respond to a number of call-outs that all just happen to have a paranormal element to them. Devilish shenanigans at a shopping mall Santa’s grotto; mysteriously missing meat at a Christmas barbecue; presents escaping from their wrapping; and an inter-dimensional photocopier at an office Christmas party...All in an evening’s work for our intrepid Paranormal cops.
