Paranormal investigator Richel Stratton has been ghost hunting for a decade, with most of her investigations conducted independently. She joined her most recent team in Illinois two years ago and has participated in over 40 investigations with the group ranging from private residences to historic haunted locations like the once-spectacular Mineral Springs Hotel, former psychiatric hospital Ashmore Estates, and the storied Malvern Manor.

As an investigator, Richel believes there are things out there we don’t fully understand, but she needs hard evidence to prove a haunting is real. When she isn’t investigating, Richel is a dental hygienist and mom to two young boys.
