Michigan paranormal researcher battles malevolent demons

While some people tend to disregard the paranormal as just shadows and creaky floorboards, others decide to dive further into the unknown. Samantha Harris decided to do just that.

Samantha Harris is a spiritual healer, demonologist, paranormal investigator, and founder of the Michigan Paranormal Research Association. From working on shows for the Travel Channel and the Destination America Channel, Harris now works as a Marketing Communication specialist at the University Center for the Development of Language and Literacy at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Among her many studies, including receiving a Bachelors degree in communications at MSU, Harris is now a published author of “Fighting Malevolent Spirits: A Demonologist’s Darkest Encounters". Her book goes over several cases in Michigan, including Novi, Flint, and Lansing, that will make the hair on your neck stand on end.

Harris says demonology is the study of inhuman entities, such as fallen angels, and they can't be explained by scientific means.
