About Nic Ryan
I was born in the beautiful state of Michigan, and raised in a small town west of Detroit. Growing up, I had always been interested in the unexplained, and although I had friends and family who had experienced different forms of high strangeness, I personally hadn't had any experiences of my own.
In the summer of 1995 though, that all changed when I witnessed something bizarre in the night sky, which I discuss in Episode 6. This encounter was not only unsettling, but also solidified my fascination in the paranormal, and would forever change the way that I interpret our reality.
In the years that followed, I explored haunted locations around the Midwest, but I was always looking for more meaningful ways of investigating the unknown. I even contemplated a career in parapsychology, but I inevitably ended up going in a different direction with my studies.
Then in 2017, while living in Oregon, I had the idea of starting a podcast. I was familiar with the concept, but I had no idea where to start. Eventually, after piecing together some novice audio equipment, I slowly began recording episodes in my free time, and before I knew it, Mythic Radio was born.
Now, I never expected anything to come of the show. It was just an outlet for me to discuss topics that I found interesting, but after uploading several episodes and receiving positive feedback from listeners, I eventually rebranded the podcast with a more meaningful name. Paranormal Mysteries.
In 2019, my wife and I moved to Kentucky, and I found myself with more free time to focus on the podcast. I began posting more episodes, and listeners began sending me their own experiences with the unknown. The rest, as they say, is history, and over two decades after my initial experience, I find myself doing something I could have never imagined possible: sharing paranormal stories with the world.
Over the years, many people have asked me about my beliefs, and overall, I do consider myself to be a skeptic. With that being said though, I do believe that the world around us is not what it seems, and in many ways is far stranger, and more dangerous than we know. This belief drives me to investigate every facet of the unexplained, and bring my findings, no matter how bizarre, into the public eye.
