This Ipoh paranormal investigator ain’t afraid of no ghost

Ipoh-based paranormal investigator Arwin John, 37, does not fear ghosts or the supernatural. Instead, he is fascinated by the unexplained and seeks to understand what happens after death. Childhood experiences of mysterious lights, voices, and shadowy figures sparked his interest in paranormal research. In 2007, he founded Malaysian Paranormal Research, driven by a desire to bridge the gap between life and what lies beyond.

Arwin, a full-time graphic designer, conducts investigations in his spare time and has appeared in documentaries. He has even joined the team behind US reality series 'Ghost Hunters International'. One of his most memorable findings came from a Chinese cemetery in Ipoh, where a recorded voice reportedly said, "It's Merdeka next week!"

Despite numerous encounters with the unexplained, Arwin maintains a skeptical approach, always searching for ordinary explanations before attributing any findings to the paranormal. He advises sceptics to conduct their own investigations rather than relying on TV shows or himself.
