Miranda Young

Paranormal Investigator

Miranda Young, creator and star of the hit web series Ghost Biker Explorations, is an experienced paranormal investigator, who has turned her passion for photography, history, URBEX, and motorcycles into a unique and popular show that highlights history, legends, mysteries and the unexplained.

Growing up in Robbins, Tennessee, a small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and an hour away from the closest metropolitan area, Miranda’s immersion into folklore, ghost stories, and mysteries began at an early age through reading library books and exploring abandoned locations. Her interests were further fostered through long conversations with her 90-year-old grandmother, who would tell her stories about mountain haunts and legends from the past.

While continuing to research legends and ghost stories,

Miranda earned a degree from Middle Tennessee University and began a career in marketing, graphic design and photography, which afforded her an employment position with a prestigious, international photography company.

Due to her expertise in photography and graphic design, in 2013, Miranda was approached by a coworker who asked that she examine several photographs purported to show captured paranormal phenomena. The coworker was the founder and lead investigator on a 4 person paranormal investigation team, and he deferred to Miranda’s background and knowledge of photography and photographic elements to determine the legitimacy of these initial photographs. Her professionalism in examining these photographs led to further requests of photo reviews, which then led to an invitation to participate in an investigation with two members from the team. This investigation, conducted at a local restaurant, was a success in that several Class A EVPs were captured, along with intelligent flashlight activity, as well as Miranda being touched by an unseen entity. This initial investigation led to subsequent investigations along with Miranda being formally voted in as a member of the team. Her roles on the team included: investigator, photo analyst, marking specialist, and video/audio evidence producer.

While Miranda and the team traveled throughout the country investigating at private residences and at well-know paranormal “hotspots”, Miranda never strayed far from her fascination of exploring abandoned locations, photography, and motorcycle riding, and she would often embark on solo adventures to engage in these endeavors. Telling the stories of the history, the legends, and the ghostly tales of lesser known locations through her photographs, blogs and posts on her social media pages, interest in Miranda and her personal explorations grew.
Miranda, in a joke with a friend, mentioned that she should call herself “The Ghost Biker”, to which her friend exclaimed “I’d watch that show!”. Encouraged further by friends, family, and fans, Miranda designed a logo and began creating a plan to film and produce a new and unique show entitled: Ghost Biker Explorations. GBE was designed around the concept of highlighting Miranda, along with her motorcycle, as she travels to various towns to figure out the mysteries within the ghost stories and legends that have been passed down throughout the generations.
Since 2018, Ghost Biker Explorations has amassed a large fan base over various social media outlets. GBE is unique among other paranormal web series because it has a scheduled release date and time for each episode during the month of October; a full-scale marketing blitz for these releases, which starts in September, including: teasers, trailers, episode countdowns, and promotional podcasts and media events. While Miranda’s passion for travel, history, motorcycles and the paranormal are emphasized in each episode, the ultimate goal of GBE is to tell the history and stories of small-town locations, that might otherwise be lost among the popularity of other “commercialized” paranormal sites. Miranda’s ability to highlight the history, legends, and possible paranormal activity at these locations has endeared herself to her fans and has allowed her and GBE to emerge as a fresh and unique concept within the paranormal community. Each episode of GBE contains enough history and mystique that it can carry the episode, even if paranormal activity was not evident during the investigation. This has also allowed for a diverse fan base. There’s something for everyone, whether they enjoy the paranormal or are just a history buff.
Since the release of season #1 in October of 2018, Miranda’s popularity within the paranormal community and within the biker community has grown, and is continuing to grow, as she has been invited to be a speaker at paranormal conventions around the country, a guest on multiple podcasts and radio shows, as well as a guest investigator at several charity events. In September of 2021, Miranda was invited to the UK to speak at their largest paranormal convention, Festival of the Unexplained. With GBE branded and trademarked merchandise that includes shirts, hats, photographs of the featured locations, as well hand drawn artwork of featured locations, the GBE website showcases Miranda’s varied and unique talents that extends beyond the episodes of the show. Miranda’s popularity within the biker community has also grown rapidly, with Harley Davidson contacting her directly with an invitation to host her Season 2 Release Party and Meet and Greet at the Harley Davidson location in Chattanooga, TN. Since then, she has hosted many Meet & Greets Speaking Events at Harley Davidson Dealerships around the country. She was also approached and asked to wear and endorse motorcycle leathers, armored jackets and luggage for a west coast company. Motorcycle groups from across the country have also contacted Miranda in an attempt to schedule her for guest appearances and to participate in and/or coordinate motorcycle rides and bike nights at historic locations.

Currently, you can follow along with Miranda and Ghost Biker Explorations on the Ghost Biker Explorations Facebook page, YouTube channel and the GBE website. Miranda is also active on Instagram (Runaway_Vixen) and on Twitter.
