About Me

Hi and welcome to the profile for Paranormal Virginia. I'm its' founder, Ryan Markey. I have always had a fascination of the paranormal realm ever since I was a child, and have been doing serious paranormal research and investigation since 2001. I once investigated for the website www.virginiaghosts.com, and sometimes still do paranormal investigations from time to time on my own or with various groups. I've investigated both historic locations and private residencies for about 7 years now. Most of the research put fourth on this profile is concerning one of the most haunted states in our Union, Virginia, however we will also research paranormal activity from other locations outside of Virginia. Virginia, as with most of the early states, has a rich history, and when there is a rich history, you're sure to find legends, ghosts, and things which are unexplained.
If you have anything you'd like to share or discuss, please feel free to drop me a message. If you would like me to check on a haunting or paranormal activity for you, I'd be more than happy to do that free of charge, and if you wish to remain anonymous, that is perfectly fine (I respect privacy, especially in this particular subject). I cannot promise to rid any location of any sort of haunting or paranormal activity, but I'll certainly research and investigate it with you.
