About the author
Joshua Warren is an American paranormal researcher and writer based in Asheville, North Carolina, known for decades of field investigations into ghosts, UFOs, and unexplained phenomena, often combining anecdote with attempts at scientific method. His catalogue on this site includes Pet Ghosts: Animal Encounters from Beyond the Grave, a survey of how animal spirits are reported to interact with humans, and It Was a Dark and Creepy Night, a collection of short, purportedly true accounts of ghosts, UFOs, and cryptid encounters gathered from around the world. Both books, published by New Page Books, reflect Warren's long-running approach of presenting eyewitness testimony alongside his own commentary rather than academic analysis. His work sits within the popular paranormal-investigation tradition, aimed at readers curious about ghost stories and unexplained encounters rather than at scholars of religion or folklore. Warren has published widely in this genre over his career, and these two titles represent his focus on collecting and interpreting first-person accounts of the strange and unverified.
