Normal Ends Here — Real Stories of the Strange & Unexplained

YES to the spooky and paranormal. NO to bullies.

Message from the founder/host:

As Normal Ends Here grows over the years, 20% of all net profits will be given to vetted organizations which are actively working to support and protect vulnerable people from those who would do them harm.

If you're here reading this and decide to share your unexplained encounter story, anonymously or otherwise, please allow me to CONGRATULATE you on being a founding member of the Abnormies community and offer you my utmost gratitude.

Make no mistake: every story, no matter how small, will add up. Together we WILL make a difference.

-Zach Cutler-Orrey

VISION

To create a place where fascination with the paranormal converges with supporting and protecting people from those who mean to do them harm.

Mission Statement

To tell stories of the strange, the eerie, and the unexplained — and use those stories to build a respectful community, create thoughtful media, and support real-world efforts that help make the world safer for women, children, and vulnerable people.

Where the Money Goes

We are proud to be informally partnering with Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE), Fremont, CA.’s premier domestic violence prevention and response organization. For fifty years now, SAVE has been working tirelessly in the Tri-Cities area to:

  • —Address intimate partner violence directly in the community.
  • —Provide safety and critical resources for people to live free from intimate partner violence (such as SAVE’s confidential Safe House and emergency housing program).
  • —Provide prevention education to youth (thousands of youth in FY 2025-2026 alone) to promote healthy relationships and prevent the cycles of violence before they begin.
  • —Evolve with the diversifying needs of the community since SAVE’s inception in 1976.

How It Works & Real-World Impact – Transparency Commitment

The 20% commitment applies to net profits — meaning after yearly income taxes, etc. We're early. Right now there are no profits to share. Some brands/channels take months or even years to build. But the commitment is built into the very foundation of this channel, as well as its umbrella brand: Zenraith Tales and Publishing: Stories That Make a Difference. Organizations are vetted before receiving funds. Vetting criteria: independent verification of the organization's work and reputation, financial transparency, and alignment with the founder's mission.

Transparency Commitment

Numerical impact will be updated and publicly listed here annually, including organization name(s), exact amount, date, and a link to the donation confirmation or charity's public receipt when available. For simplicity, this will be done yearly. As in: the organization will receive the funds in one lump sum (which will have been set aside on a rolling basis all year long).

No donations have been made yet — the channel is just getting started.
