Penn State student Ryan Buell is the director and founder of the university's Paranormal Research Society (PRS), which he launched in 2001 to become one of the first students to ever enroll in a university sanctioned paranormal research group. 

Each Paranormal State episode will follow Buell and the PRS team as they seek to find the truth behind real-life mysteries when they are contacted for help by outside parties ranging from The Catholic Church to ordinary families, investigating everything from poltergeists to hauntings and even assisting law enforcement officials on missing person's cases.

In addition, viewers will get a glimpse at how the crew uses Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) recordings, client interviews, video documentation, research and the help of outside experts such as psychics, demonologists and Penn State University psychologists and counselors to try and help those who have contacted them.

A&E announced it had ordered Paranormal State in June when the network revealed plans to expand its reality programming lineup.
