Ben Hogan
Video/Audio Tech / Paranormal Investigator
Ben has twenty plus years in video production. Ben graduated UNT with a BA in Radio TV Film. His first job in the industry was at a local television station. He then delved into the world of freelance and has worked on a variety of projects related to television and independent production.
Ben made contact with Mystic Ghost around 2006 after he shot some television segments for the medium John Edward’s tv show “John Edward Cross Country”. His interest in the paranormal merged with Mystic Ghost and Ben is now the Video Tech for the team’s investigations. Keeping an open mind and wanting to find real proof, Ben is still the team’s “skeptic” and consistently strives to debunk evidence. His attempt to use rational explanations is only to further validate those things that can be deemed as paranormal. Even with his skeptical open mind, Ben has slowly developed his ability to sense things beyond what is physically visible.
