About this ebook

Paranormal State: My Journey Into the Unknown is the official companion book to A&E’s hit series.

On every episode of Paranormal State, Ryan Buell and his team of investigators delve deep into the mysterious world of ghosts, demonic disturbances, and sixth-sense sightings that shadows our everyday reality. Now, in this guide to the series, Buell takes fans one step further, revealing the secrets of the show’s most intense cases—as well as some that were never broadcast—and the shocking, never-before-told story of his own brush with the supernatural—the otherworldly experience that first inspired him to found the Paranormal Research Society.

And with each case of unexplained phenomena, Ryan shares how the events forced him to confront his own beliefs, the workings of his rational mind, and the very nature of reality.

Ratings and reviews

Having been a fan of the show "Paranormal State", I really enjoyed Ryan's stories about specific episodes. Also, his own personal views, experiences, and journey were just what I would've expected. The television show ws, in my opinion, the most well-rounded, respectful show of it's genre so far. A great read! I've rad it several times, and refer to it on occassion. Kudo's to Ryan Buell for his bravery, empathy, and intelligence. If you are a fan of the show, or the 'supernatural', I consider this a 'must read'.

I really liked this book. I loved that I could remember all the episodes he talks about here. I like the fact that you can get more info in to what happened after the episodes aired and that he gives you more insight into his actions and feelings at the time. Also I didn't know he was bisexual!

Read this after having the honor of meeting Ryan Buell & am happy to say he's every bit as charming, honest & kind in person as he is in this portrayal of his life & involvement w/the paranormal:)
