“Young is a master of the disturbing image.”
– Kaaron Warren, multi-award winning author
Marty Young is a Bram Stoker-nominated and Australian Shadows Award-winning writer and editor, and sometimes ghost hunter.
Marty was the founding President of the Australian Horror Writers Association from 2005-2010, and one of the creative minds behind the internationally acclaimed Midnight Echo magazine, for which he also served as Executive Editor until mid-2013.
When he’s not writing stories or editing anthologies, he’s a Director at MGPalaeo, a leading palynological consultancy company. As part of that, he often finds himself in the deep dark jungles of Papua New Guinea, no doubt wondering what the hell he’s doing there.



Adventures in Ghost Hunting
As my bio states, I’m a sometimes ghost hunter, or I guess to be more accurate, a paranormal investigator. And while this aspect of my career is in its infancy, I have taken part in some fantastic investigations.
I plan on taking part in a lot more, too, coming at each case from a scientific perspective. For now, while I delve deeper into the mysteries of the paranormal, here are links to the two main investigations I’ve taken part in:
- Muncaster Castle (England)
- Aradale Lunatic Asylum (Australia)
