Great State Paranormal

Table 23

Sicut Superius et Inferius

Great State Paranormal is one of the top paranormal teams in North Carolina. They offer many various services in the paranormal space. Their most common offering are public paranormal investigations where anyone can experience what it is like to be a paranormal investigator and investigate well known haunted locations. This is a hands-on experience where the public gets to use ghost hunting tools and learn techniques that help get answers from the other side. They also offer private investigations if you believe that your home or property is haunted. They also offer spiritual home cleansings and are able to offer the Rite of Exorcism to assist those who have negative spiritual attachments.

Aside from their passion for working with the paranormal, they are also passionate about preserving local folklore and history. They have assisted with the writing of a book on local ghost stories and are preparing for a YouTube series to launch later this year (Legends, Lore, & More).
