Steve Gonsalves is an Author, Drummer, and Television Personality
Before he became a beloved sight on reality television, Steve had been working as a police officer. In addition to working in law enforcement, he had also joined hands with The Atlantic Paranormal Society, founded by his co-star Jason Hawes in 1996. Finally, in 2004, he paved the way for a worldwide explosion of the supernatural in Syfy Channel’s ‘Ghost Hunters.’ Along with Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, and Dave Tango, the television personality highlighted the acts of inexplicable forces for countless to view.
Consequently, Steve became a part of the show’s spin-off, ‘Ghost Hunters Live’ and ‘Ghost Hunters Academy.’ While his age-old fascination with the mystical helped the team catapult into authentic investigations, his penchant for investigation and former career as a police officer also helped him streamline the processes. In an interview with Daily Dead, the television personality confessed to his approach to the process. He explained, “I am a certain way (when it comes to the paranormal investigative world.) I used to be a little more rigid. When it comes to investigation style and technique, I don’t think there’s one way to do it or style.”
Steve stated, “You can take one location and have four or five different teams go in and get completely different results and then have a completely different episode.” Naturally, his unique stance on the mystery of the paranormal has allowed him to deliver the best results for his clients consistently. Over the years, Steve has investigated over 1,500 haunted locations. He has even had the privilege of working closely with Ed and Lorraine Warren, the principal pioneers of the supernatural world who were the inspiration behind James Wan’s ‘The Conjuring’ movie series.
Besides this, he has even worked with Dr. William G. Roll, who worked on ‘Poltergeist.’ Steve and Michael Aloisi have co-authored similar terrifying tales in ‘A Life With Ghosts.’ In addition to his success on ‘Ghost Hunters,’ he has even worked on ‘Ghost Nation’ and produced and co-directed the documentary, ‘The House in Between’ parts 1 and 2. From appearing on radio, television, and podcasts, he has even co-founded ‘Paramagazine’ a magazine publication under The Atlantic Paranormal Society. Once a drummer for the ‘Perpetual Doom,’ Steve continues to embrace new opportunities as part of his multi-faceted career.
