Northern Appalachian Paranormal Society is that we are a group of like-minded people who take a scientific approach to the paranormal.

Jay Blackburn - I’m the lead investigator and founder of the Northern Appalachian Paranormal Society. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Metaphysical Science and am in the process of earning my Master’s and Ph.D. in Paranormal Science and also a Demonologist. Myself and my team have been to big locations like Moundsville Prison, investigated multiple times at Hill View Manor, and even the lesser known locations as well.

Katlin Stello - I was born and raised in the small town of Tarentum, PA, a small town near Pittsburgh. Many unexplained things happened in our house I didn't learn about until my preteens: shadows, objects moving, TVs playing without being plugged in, lights turning off and on. This used to frighten me, that is until the paranormal shows came out and it wasn't as taboo to speak of such events. As I got into my 20s, I started reading every book, watching every show, and trying to explain the stuff from TV, which had become one of my favorite pastimes with my mother who passed away in 2012. I did a few investigations on public events, and shortly after, I wanted to join a team. I found a team who had welcomed me with open arms, I learned so much from the teams I had the opportunity to unite with. I have been investigating now for about 10 years. My role on our team is that of the tech experts, but truly I love getting new "toys" and learning how they work. I also love teaching other people about new equipment or technologies that I have researched. I take pride in taking the most basic items and not spending extravagant sums of money on technology.to achieve the same results.My favorite part about investigating? I think walking into a historical building, and soaking up what has gone on there is my favorite part. I feel honored to be able to walk in such footsteps as Jennie Wade and George Taylor to name a few. I love the architecture and appreciate all of the good that happened there. I cannot focus on the bad, as I wonder how much history has been altered or misinterpreted.NAPS Facebook
