The show covers a wide range of paranormal subjects, from the Chupacabra to Disney World's Haunted Mansion. They've also explored haunted locations like Fort Mifflin, the Shanley Hotel, St. Alban’s Sanatorium, and West Virginia Penitentiary.Jamie Widener is a lifelong paranormal enthusiast based in Mount Joy, PA, with a passion for chasing mysteries that refuse to sit still. Since 2019, Jamie has been an active member of Jott-Nyx Paranormal, blending curiosity, research, and the occasional ghost joke into every investigation. As co-founder and co-host of the Paranormal Lens podcast, Jamie explores the strange, the unexplained, and everything in between—always with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism. A firm believer in lifelong learning, Jamie never stops asking questions—even if the answers come from the other side.
Chad Thomas joined JOTT-Nyx Paranormal in February 2022, after Jamie invited him to an investigation for his 50th birthday. One investigation was all it took to get him hooked. Chad started by attending public investigations at Bube’s Brewery, taking pictures, until he was eventually invited to become an investigator.
Chad grew up in a farmhouse south of Gettysburg, built in the late 1860s, where strange occurrences sparked his curiosity about the paranormal. His career as a theatre technician also brought him into contact with unexplainable experiences, deepening his interest. His backstage experience has even helped him draw connections during investigations.
Though Chad jokes about being more suited for a behind-the-scenes role, his involvement in Paranormal Lens has brought him in front of the camera, a significant step for him. When he's not investigating or working on the podcast, Chad enjoys hiking local trails with his dog, helping out at his kids' school theatre department, or volunteering in the kitchen at a summer camp
