Andy Laird
Andy has been researching and investigating the paranormal for over forty years. As the last surviving member of the original four TRIPRG founders, his thirst for knowledge and uncovering answers continues. Andy’s interest in ghosts switched instantly from a hardcore skeptic to true believer as a result of a bet involving an abandoned insane asylum and a case of Budweiser. A graduate of Rhode Island Collage and the Rhode Island School of Design, he is a FEMA ALS Paramedic and retired professional photographer.
