Brough’s history taken from the book,
Brough Perkins is a Canadian intuitive and psychic who discovered his unusual abilities early in life.
Raised in the Pierrefonds suburb of Montreal, he grew up bilingual, speaking English at home and learning French at school. As a child, he experienced vivid paranormal encounters, including recurring visits from a “tall man” he later identified as his deceased grandfather. These experiences led to both awe and confusion, especially when a kindergarten journal entry prompted a visit from a social worker.
Brough’s early life was filled with intuitive flashes—such as sensing a teacher’s pregnancy and racing home to help during a medical emergency. These moments made him feel different and often isolated, especially after losing a close friend. He developed what he called a state of “hyper-awareness” and began to hide his experiences out of fear.
In adolescence, Brough struggled with anxiety and depression, eventually dropping out of high school. A spiritual turning point came during a crisis, when he heard a disembodied voice introducing itself as Laron, who he came to believe was his spirit guide. This encounter helped him reframe his life and sparked a deep dive into spirituality and psychic development.
By his late teens, Brough was doing readings online and in person, gaining confidence and validation. A paranormal photograph he believes shows Laron reinforced his sense of purpose. His growing reputation led to a MuchMusic Halloween special where he investigated a haunted house—his insights were later confirmed, and the show became one of the channel’s most-watched specials.
Since then, Brough has continued to work in media and provide readings for clients. With a blend of warmth, humor, and intuitive insight, he helps people explore the unseen dimensions of life.
