In this episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Jennifer and Joe sit down with Ryan, paranormal researcher, investigator, and host of the Trapped Souls Podcast, for a dark and thought-provoking conversation about the unseen forces that may linger long after a place is abandoned.
Ryan shares what first drew him into the world of paranormal investigation and how his curiosity evolved into hands-on research inside reportedly haunted locations. We explore his approach to investigating the unknown—balancing skepticism with open-mindedness—and why some locations seem to hold onto emotional and spiritual energy far longer than others.
Throughout the discussion, Ryan opens up about chilling experiences from investigations, moments that challenged his understanding of reality, and encounters that stayed with him long after leaving the location. We also dive into the emotional impact of paranormal research, not just on investigators, but on witnesses and property owners who must live with unexplained activity.
As host of the Trapped Souls Podcast, Ryan has created a platform where investigators, teams, and everyday people can share their experiences without fear of ridicule. We talk about the stories behind the podcast, the investigations that left the deepest impression, and why Ryan believes some spirits—or energies—may still be trapped between worlds.
