Donald Molnar, M.D. is an internal medicine physician by day and a paranormal investigator by night. Don is the founder of the Haunted M.D. project, which allows him to combine his passion of ghost investigating with being a practicing physician. Since 2001, Don has been out of training, working as a doctor for various health systems, including the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, and the University of Virginia Health system in Charlottesville.

 

He was born and raised in Lorain, Ohio before doing his undergraduate and medical training in the Akron, Ohio area. He worked in Wooster, Ohio after finishing training and moved to Charlottesville in 2009. Don notes having paranormal and ghostly experiences all his life and he finally joined Twisted Paranormal Society (TPS) out of Fishersville, Virginia in 2012 to be able to investigate these curious experiences. As a part of TPS, he has investigated many locations private and public. Some notable investigations include Hill View Manor, Fort Mifflin, St Albans, The Exchange Hotel, Dunnlora Inn and the USS North Carolina. Don can be seen in several of the episodes of the Twisted Realm, which is a video production of the investigations of TPS, which has been aired on PBS Virginia and now is seen on VIDI space and Amazon prime.

 

In May 2018, Don started Haunted M.D. to talk about being a ghost investigating medical doctor, and in March 2019 he decided to focus on it, stepping away from TPS/The Twisted Realm. The goals of Haunted M.D. include doing lectures for conventions, conferences or any group of interested folks, conducting investigations, and helping other teams or individuals with investigations. He approaches investigations using the same methods he uses to evaluate patients, paying close attention to details. He feels it is important to get the chief complaint, history of the present haunting, past paranormal history, past investigation history, history of any previous attempts to cleanse a location or to treat the haunting, medical and psychologic history of the people involved at the location, and drug and alcohol history at the location. After gathering this data, he then conducts his exam or investigation of the location looking for normal and paranormal causes of possible ghostly activity. Next, he reviews the data collected to formulate a final assessment and potential treatment plan for the location. Don provides a written report to the client(s).

 

Besides investigations and lectures, he posts a wide variety of interesting items on the Haunted M.D. FB page and on Don Molnar Haunted MD YouTube page. The posts include thought provoking paranormal concepts along with educational videos and intriguing pieces of evidence.

Steve Dills is a paranormal investigator with over a decade of experience investigating the Paranormal. His passion for the paranormal stems from experiences at a very young age. Waking up to your name being whispered into your ear at night, and watching the doors to your bedroom open and close repeatedly are not the things that make up a normal childhood. After years of privately investigating the paranormal on his own, Steve teamed up with a number of other paranormal investigators with the same focus and passion, and founded Transcend Paranormal in 2010, where he remains as the Director of the team.

Since that time, Steve, and Transcend Paranormal, has worked with numerous historical sites to not only research and investigate the Paranormal, but to also support those sites. Since its' establishment, Transcend Paranormal has helped to raise funds for over 15 locations & organizations through public investigations, lectures, events, and lending a hand at those sites through volunteer efforts. Transcend continues these efforts today to ensure that the historical sites and locations we investigate continue to be community centers for education and learning. Transcend also offers services to all of those in need - both public and private locations. Transcend operates out of central Virginia and travels when necessary to assist clients.

Most recently, Steve has partnered with RVA Paranormal for RVA Live, a Facebook Live stream show on Facebook that airs Tuesday nights at 8PM Eastern. The show focuses on discussing the paranormal activity surrounding the haunted locations in the area, as well as interviewing prominent and respected figures in the paranormal field.

Steve continues to investigate the paranormal in determination to unveil some of the mysteries around the paranormal by partnering and working with some of the most prominent investigators and figures in the field.
