Noah Ankney - Founder

Like with many others, I became interested in the paranormal at a very young age due to an experience that defied all logic. With this experience, I began researching and diving deep into the realm of the paranormal looking for the answers that most long for. Still, 14 years and hundreds of investigations later, I am still searching for those answers. Now, the answers aren’t just for myself, it is for the people I swore to help.

I started out at the age of 14 heavily researching the paranormal. It started off with browsing a few websites, checking out books at the library, and heading to cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and urban legends to practice what I was learning. The hunger for answers grew with every investigation, with every picture, EVP, and sound heard. I knew then that I was in this field for the long haul.

I have been a founder, leader, and a consult to many paranormal groups in the past few years beginning with my first team in North Carolina in 2006. This is where I would become familiar with certain individuals that would guide me in the right direction with my research. Due to another personal experience, I had to consult a local church that would jump-start my interest in a much more serious aspect of the paranormal field. This has led me to put aside my own personal conquest and to focus more on helping others. In 2007, I moved to my home state of Ohio while still investigating and researching regularly under a new team. In 2008, I met my future wife, Thelma, who shared the same interest in the paranormal. Together, we formed the group LIPRI and everything started falling into place.

Now I am persuing a more serious position within the field of paranormal research that leads our organization to focus more on the serious cases and overall helping clients and other organizations in the field.
