Jon Almada – Role: Founder

Jon founded Ghost Rider Investigations in 2008 and this began a decade-long journey that has spanned multiple states and has seen him lead investigations into caves, mountains, haunted mines and ocean liners among many other locations. He is also the host of SoulStream Radio, a weekly show on the paranormal and unusual, hosted on Twitch and podcast audio from these shows hosted on BuzzSprout and then distributed to numerous other podcast platforms. SoulStream Radio was preceded by “Ghostrider Paranormal Radio” on BlogTalkRadio and over time the program morphed into the now current SoulStream program. Jon did 300 shows on BlogTalkRadio before moving on to Twitch and Buzzsprout.

He also was corporate webmaster of a large aerospace company over a 30+ year career supporting numerous spacecraft and defense programs ranging from the Space Shuttle, Titan, Delta, Orion, Hubble Space Telescope and many many other programs. He also authored “AeroFrame” in 1998 to initially support the ATMS meteorological satellite development program. AeroFrame was a ground-breaking data exchange system that made waves in the industry and which outlasted his retirement in 2017 before the application was retired about a year later. He won a Information Week 500 award for AeroFrame in 2002 when the application was selected as one of the influential applications supporting the Cobra engine system. He also did occasional voice-over work and some video work for the company in addition to his IT work.

Jon’s paranormal investigations began in earnest when his father became ill and despite knowing the Spirit World existed, he wanted to find out more about how it worked and what actually happened to people when they passed on. He has investigated hundreds of sites and amassed a huge collection of EVPs and paranormal evidence over his years of investigating.

Jon is also a psychic medium and has seen and heard Spirits since he was around five years old. The gift traces back through his family going back generations and by NO means is he the only family member with these gifts. In fact, it was all quite “normal” in the family and not considered anything special. It was only as an adult that he realized that these natural abilities were something “a little extra” and began to develop his skills in these areas. He uses the gift to do readings for people he likes and enjoys conversing with other mediums.

In 2022, Jon returned to paranormal investigation and is writing books on his 40+ years of interactions with the paranormal world, UFO encounters and his life in the rocket and propulsion business.

Jon has appeared on SyFy network on the show “Haunted Highways” and has investigated  a wide range of sites across California, Nevada and Arizona over the course of a decade in paranormal research.
