Joshua P. Warren founder of L.E.M.U.R. paranormal investigations.
Joshua P. Warren was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and has lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains his entire life. At the age of 13, he wrote his first published book.

An expert on paranormal research, Warren was hired by the esteemed Grove Park Inn Resort to be the first person to officially investigate the Pink Lady apparition in 1995 (the same year he founded L.E.M.U.R. paranormal investigations). And, each January, Warren produces and hosts an interactive PARANORMAL CONFERENCE at the 4-star hotel. Warren also led the expedition that captured the first known footage of the elusive Brown Mountain Lights.
His work has earned attention from The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, NPR, CNN, and the ABC, NBC, and CBS networks and/or affiliates, and he is frequently asked to be a guest on radio shows across North America (including Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell/George Noory, and The Edge of Reality on the Talk America Radio Networks). Warren is also an international award-winning filmmaker, having worked on the sets of Warner Brother's My Fellow Americans, Universal's Patch Adams, Paradise Falls, Inbred Rednecks, and Songcatcher. His first novel, The Evil in Asheville, was released in September of 2000. His next book, How to Hunt Ghosts, will be published by Simon & Schuster and released September of 2003.
