'We don't know what we're doing': Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan on being amateur ghost hunters
The Canadian actors Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan are the co-hosts of the CBC series Ghosting, which recently began its second season. Each episode of the show, which is equal parts scary and funny, sees the duo joined by a celebrity guest (such as drag legend Priyanka) as they test their tolerance for the paranormal by spending time inside a famous Canadian locale with an eerie legacy. Along the way, they decide whether or not the place is truly haunted. "The thing that I think makes this show so funny and unique is the fact that we don't know what we're doing," Hutchie tells Q guest host Garvia Bailey alongside Finlan. "The whole gag of the show is amateur hour. We do not at any point know what we're doing and so I think that is inherently just the funny of it." WATCH | Official trailer for Ghosting Season 2: As actors, Hutchie and Finlan are known for their work in the horror genre, but their paranormal investigations in Ghosting are completely unscripted. "There is a component of every episode that is scripted — we call it our haunted headquarters," Finlan says. "It's like our Addams family living room. But during the investigations, we have no script to follow. We are referencing Wikipedia and TikTok and the history that we know about this place, but what happens in the room is really candid." But do Hutchie and Finlan really believe in ghosts? Hutchie cheekily tells Bailey that he's "the skeptic and the sex appeal" whereas "Matthew is the believer and the bookworm." "I just want the Linda Blair," he continues. "I want to be in The Exorcist where my neck is snapping and I'm flying in the air. Like, diva down, there's no getting around that one, sister. It's haunted." Finlan, on the other hand, says his "neck is prematurely snapping" because he's always looking for paranormal experiences. "I will say there were some things that happened this season that I think were inexplicable to everybody on the crew," he adds. "We were in this mine off the shore of Newfoundland. The cameras weren't rolling, which is why I always share this story because we didn't capture it, but there was this floating light that we all saw through one of the main tunnel shafts…. Myself, our director, our AD, we all described the same thing without knowing the other had seen it and that gave me chills. So to speak, my neck was broken."
