Biography
Greg MansfieldGreg Mansfield is a researcher, writer, and award-winning adult educator. He has a BA in Economics and a Graduate Diploma in Adult Education from the University of British Columbia. He grew up in Richmond, BC and has been fascinated by the paranormal (namely ghosts, UFOs, and Sasquatch) since he was a boy.

Mansfield has visited many haunted places in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. He saw a ghost — a shadow figure — for the first time in October of 2022. And while he hasn’t seen a Sasquatch, many years ago he and three others witnessed three UFOs hovering in close formation over a field near Cardiff, Wales in broad daylight.

An open-minded skeptic, Mansfield is a member of Coldspotters, a Vancouver-based group of ghost investigators and enthusiasts, and is an authority on the haunted places of Vancouver.

“I don’t blame people for being skeptical about ghosts,” Mansfield says. “But I’ve heard so many stories by straight-forward, rational people and have had experiences of my own that I’m convinced something real is going on.”

Mansfield is available for media interviews, presentations, and written submissions about the haunted locations of Vancouver and the paranormal in general.

He has appeared on GlobalTV BC (with Red Robinson), CBC TV Vancouver (with Deborah Gobel) and CTV News Vancouver (with St John Alexander), and on CFMI (Rock 101), CKNW, CFOX, Roundhouse Radio, and the Parabnormal podcast. He’s also been interviewed for articles in Metro News and The Peak newspapers, and has contributed to Homes & Living (Vancouver) magazine’s “The haunting of…” series of articles.
