About Us
Paranormal Unknown
Welcome to Paranormal Unknown - Documenting Phenomena! We're dedicated to uncovering the mysteries that lie beyond the ordinary. Founded by brothers Marcos Maya and Melvin Maya, our mission is to explore, investigate, and document paranormal phenomena across the United States and beyond.
Melvin’s journey into the paranormal world began over a decade ago when he teamed up with his close friend Patrick Theriot to form Ghost Texas, an offshoot of Patrick’s original group, G.H.O.S.T. Together, they spent nearly five years investigating haunted locations throughout Texas, sharing their findings on the Ghost Texas website and YouTube channel.
Two years ago, Melvin’s brother Marcos joined the team, bringing new energy and ideas to the investigations. While Ghost Texas remains active, focusing on paranormal activities within the state, the brothers felt the need to expand their horizons. This desire to explore beyond Texas led to the creation of Paranormal Unknown.
At Paranormal Unknown, we aim to investigate paranormal phenomena wherever we find it. While we strive to visit as many locations as possible in person, we understand that it’s not always feasible. That’s why we also bring you well-researched blogs and video content about locations we haven’t yet explored physically. Whether we’re on-site or sharing from afar, you can trust that our content is rooted in curiosity, thorough research, and a passion for the unknown.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us across all social media platforms to stay updated with our latest investigations and discoveries. If you’ve had a paranormal experience or know of a location that’s shrouded in mystery, we’d love to hear from you! Reach out to us on social media and let us know – your story could be our next investigation.
Thank you for being a part of Paranormal Unknown. Together, we’ll continue documenting the phenomena that intrigue us all.
Both Marcos and Melvin Maya invite you to join them on their journey into the unknown. Follow their adventures on Paranormal Unknown and become part of a community dedicated to uncovering the mysteries that lie beyond the ordinary.
