Ryan Daniel Buell (born July 8, 1982) is an American paranormal investigator, author and producer who founded the Paranormal Research Society when he was a 19-year-old student at Pennsylvania State University.[1][2]

Early life

Buell was born in Corry, Pennsylvania, of Italian, Native American, and Danish ancestry, and raised in Sumter, South Carolina.[3] He earned bachelor degrees in journalism and anthropology from Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania.[1]

Career

Buell's investigations became the core premise of the A&E show Paranormal State,[4] for which Buell is the director. Buell is also the Executive Producer for an upcoming feature film, American Ghost Hunter, which was announced to be in production in Spring 2009. The film was shot in May 2009. In 2011, Buell and partner Chad Calek announced a 41-city tour for the film. In 2010, Buell served as Co-Executive Producer for Paranormal State and for The Ghost Prophecies, of which he is also the co-creator. Buell and his team decided against continuing Paranormal State after the fifth season to pursue other things. Their final episode aired Monday, May 2, 2011.

Buell's memoir, Paranormal State: My Journey into the Unknown was released in September 2010. Among other subjects, Buell discusses his bisexuality and his struggle to reconcile his sexual orientation with his Catholicism. "I’ve decided to share my sexuality and struggle over faith in hopes that others will no longer feel as though they are alone or that they can’t be religious."[5]

In July 2012, Buell announced that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.[6]

On November 22, 2014, Buell announced on his official Facebook page that he was getting married to his longtime partner Sergey Poberezhny.[7][8]

On September 11, 2015, Buell announced on his official Facebook page in a live chat, that he is not married. The post from November 22, 2014 was just a joke. See live chat video @ about 03:16[9]
