Our Story

About GoBaan

A place to explore the unexplained together — built for the people who keep asking questions.

A team of paranormal investigators gathered around a glowing laptop in a dim, book-lined study, a shadowy portrait watching from the wall behind them.

We are here because something keeps calling us back

Some people hear a ghost story and walk away.

We walk towards the mystery.

We want to know what happened there. Who lived there. Who died there. What people have seen. What they heard. What they felt. What was debunked. What still does not make sense.

That curiosity is not something I want to apologize for.

GoBaan™ was built for the people who keep asking questions. The investigators, researchers, skeptics, believers, debunkers, historians, EVP collectors, team leads, lone explorers, and late-night map scrollers who know there is something powerful about haunted places — even when we do not all agree on what that something is.

This is a place to explore the unexplained together.

And maybe, if we are open to it, to do something meaningful with what we find.

Built by someone who has spent a long time chasing the strange

Guy Edwards, ordained as a Buddhist monk in orange robes, standing beside a river with a group of people and another monk in Thailand.
During my time ordained as a monk in Thailand.

My name is Guy Edwards, and I've spent more than 15 years investigating unexplained phenomena across almost all 50 states.

Ghosts. Cryptids. UFOs. Strange legends. Weird places. Dark roads. Old buildings. Woods that feel a little too quiet.

A lot of people know me from the Bigfoot world. I've been featured on national television three times, and I spent five years helping build the Pacific Northwest Bigfoot community through monthly Bigfoot and Beer events.

Those years taught me something important.

The phenomenon matters.

But the community matters just as much.

Because the best part of this work is not just the evidence. It is the people willing to show up, compare notes, challenge each other, tell the truth about what happened, admit what they cannot explain, and keep going anyway.

That spirit is what GoBaan is built around.

What GoBaan means

GoBaan comes from two words: “go” and “baan.” Baan is the Thai word for home.

That name is not just branding. It is the heart of the project.

Yes, GoBaan is a tool for finding haunted locations, planning investigations, logging cases, organizing evidence, following investigators, building lists, and documenting what happens in the field.

But it is also built around a deeper possibility.

Maybe some of the spirits we encounter are not just trying to scare us.

Maybe some are confused.

Maybe some are stuck.

Maybe some are reaching out.

Maybe some are trying to go home.

As a Buddhist, I carry that possibility with me. Not as something everyone has to believe. Not as a rule. Not as a lecture.

Just as an open door.

Because I know many people in this community already feel it too. We do not only investigate because we want a thrill. We investigate because we care about the places, the stories, the people who were there, and sometimes even the spirits that may still be there.

GoBaan is built for that kind of work.

Curious.

Skeptical.

Respectful.

Open-hearted.

And brave enough to wonder if ghost hunting can be more than hunting.

A home for the work we are already doing

The paranormal community is already out there doing the work.

We are walking the buildings. Recording the audio. Taking the photos. Reading the history. Debunking the noises. Comparing the stories. Sitting with the strange moments that do not fit neatly into anyone else's version of reality.

But too much of that work disappears.

It gets buried in social feeds, scattered across videos, trapped in private folders, or remembered only by the people who were there.

GoBaan is where that work can start to connect.

A haunted place should have a record.

An investigation should have a place to live.

Evidence should have context.

Debunks should matter.

Teams should be discoverable.

Investigators should be able to build a body of work over time.

Not because we need everyone to agree.

Because the work deserves to be taken seriously.

Built for the next investigation

GoBaan is here to help you find the places, plan the visit, document what happened, and connect your work to a larger community.

Use it to explore haunted locations, research legends, save places you want to investigate, follow active locations, browse teams, log cases, organize evidence, compare reports, and build your investigator profile as the platform grows.

The goal is not to turn the mystery into something sterile.

The goal is to give the mystery a better home.

A place where curiosity, evidence, skepticism, storytelling, history, and compassion can all sit at the same table.

Because this is bigger than a map.

It is a shared record of the places that keep calling us back.

Welcome to GoBaan

GoBaan is still growing, and that is part of the invitation.

Explore the map.

Research the legends.

Follow the locations that call to you.

Log your investigations when the tools open.

Share what you find.

Help build the record.

Help shape what this becomes.

The paranormal community has always been full of people willing to walk toward the strange instead of away from it.

GoBaan is for us.

Not just to get spooked.

Not just to collect stories.

Not just to prove something to people who may never believe us.

But to understand more.

To document better.

To build together.

And when we can, to help something lost find home.

Happy hunting.
