Legend tells us on December 24th an obese elderly man dressed in red commits what some would classify as burglary. Into our homes he creeps carrying a large bag of presents for good little boys and girls. Underneath a decorated tree he leaves these gifts but not before consuming the milk and cookies left unattended by unsuspecting members of the house. Into the night he flies in a pimped out sleigh, armed with twelve reindeer whose names will not be mentioned. Look carefully and you can see them grazing the night sky. Listen carefully and you might hear his faint “ho ho ho!” On December 25 weary from travel, he retreats to the North Pole to prepare for next year’s Christmas, ever watching us.

An internationally celebrated expert on paranormal research, Joshua P. Warren has carved out an illustrious niche in the paranormal community writing books, conducting field research, appearing on numerous big-name TV shows and working as a radio personality. Writing his first published book at age 13, Warren has since published 12 more books over the course of his career including a regional best-seller, "Haunted Ashville". The first to investigate the Pink Lady apparition at the famous Grove Park Inn Resort and celebrated for capturing the first known footage of the Brown Mountain Lights, Warren is no stranger to the world of the paranormal. With appearances on the History Channel, the National Geographic Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, Sci-Fi, Animal Planet and several affiliate networks of NPR, ABC, NBC and CBS, he also works as a radio host for Clear Channel and is a frequent contributor on “Coast to Coast AM”. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Appearing on smash hit TV shows like “Ghost Adventures,” “Superhumans” and “Weird, True & Freaky,” Warren’s most recent endeavor as a reporter on Travel Channel’s “Paranormal Paparazzi” (on Friday nights at 7 p.m. EST/6 p.m. CST) has once again landed him squarely on the main stage of paranormal inquiry. This prompted HalloweenCostumes.com to ask him a few questions about the show and his incredible career in all-things-unknown.
