The Scientist Behind the Paranormal
Bill Murphy is not your average ghost hunter. He’s a documentary film director, scientific investigator, and former star of SyFy’s Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files — a groundbreaking series that pushed the limits of what science could uncover about the supernatural.
From the television studio to the field, Bill’s mission has remained the same: to separate myth from measurable reality.
“To explore the unknown, one must first challenge what is known.” – Bill Murphy
A Legacy in Exploration
For more than two decades, Bill has directed, produced, and appeared in documentaries that challenge the boundaries between science and spirit. His work has taken him deep into historic asylums, battlefields, and desert research sites — all in pursuit of credible, quantifiable evidence of paranormal phenomena.
His approach is not sensational — it’s scientific. Through a lens of skepticism and data-driven investigation, Bill continues to redefine what it means to “hunt ghosts.”

The Power of Partnership
Behind every great mind is an equally powerful collaborator.
Bill’s wife and professional partner, Anita McMillan-Murphy, is a trauma team specialist whose understanding of human physiology and bioelectromagnetic response has elevated their joint research to an entirely new level.
Together, they study how emotional energy and human intention might affect measurable environments — a frontier where neuroscience and the supernatural converge.

Dan Aykroyd in conversation with Bill Murphy — and the Ghostwriter case that won’t die
When Dan Aykroyd talks about ghosts, he doesn’t whisper about candlelit séances. He talks about physics. In a recent conversation with Bill Murphy (SyFy’s Fact or Faked), the Ghostbusters legend pushed past folklore and into chemistry, magnetics, and light—asking the questions few dare: How do apparitions actually form? What’s the mechanism?
Science Meets the Unknown
At Ghost Hunter Apps, Bill continues to pioneer field research using next-generation tools — software and hardware designed to capture anomalies in ways that conventional methods cannot.
He’s helping shape a new standard in scientific ITC (Instrumental Trans-Communication) through data analytics, AI integration, and electromagnetic modeling.
Their work isn’t about chasing ghosts — it’s about discovering truth.
