The Investigators

United Beyond

A small team of dedicated paranormal investigators based in Middle Tennessee. We bring curiosity, respect, and decades of combined experience to every site we visit.

Founder / Investigator

Jory Eads

Jory lives in Olive Branch, MS with his wife Amesha and their five children. When he's not chasing the unexplained, he's on his Harley or out camping with the family. His first investigation was at the McRaven House in Vicksburg, Mississippi six years ago — and after the experiences he had there, paired with the ones he could never explain from his younger days, he was hooked. A later trip to Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary is where he met Amesha and the friends who would become family. Together, they're stepping into this next chapter as United Beyond Paranormal.

Amesha Eads

Amesha is married to her best friend, Jory, and together they're raising five children between Olive Branch, MS and part-time life in Lynchburg, TN. The pull toward the paranormal and the afterlife has always been there — too many unexplained moments to write off, and a quiet feeling that there had to be more to this life. She started investigating five years ago with a local team at a cemetery, where she saw her first shadow person. A ghost hunt at the Thomas House for her daughter's 18th birthday cemented it. Three years ago, a last-minute ticket to a public hunt at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary changed everything — she met the love of her life and the best friend / soul sister who would become family. Amesha is the team's sensitive: intuitive, attuned to energy, and empathic to whatever the spirits want to share.

Andrew

From an early age, Andrew has had a deep curiosity about the unexplained. What began as a personal interest evolved into a serious pursuit of understanding paranormal phenomena through structured investigation and research. As a founding member of the team, Andrew brings a background in law enforcement, offering a disciplined and detail-oriented approach to every case. With a strong passion for video and photography, he focuses on capturing and analyzing visual evidence with precision and clarity. Known for his calm and analytical mindset, Andrew strives to separate fact from fear — approaching each investigation with professionalism, respect, and a commitment to uncovering the truth.

Amanda

Amanda has been experiencing the paranormal since she was very young. Her most intense experience happened as a teenager, and from that moment on she knew there was more to life than what we can simply see and touch. For years that interest could only be explored through television and books — until 2016, when her first public investigation changed everything. Since then she has been dedicated to connecting with others who share similar passions, always driven to find evidence of what exists beyond the ordinary. That same drive led her to Brushy Mountain in 2023. After moving 500 miles away to start a new life with Andrew, she found herself in Tennessee without connections in the paranormal community. A post on Facebook felt like a sign, and taking that leap to get involved locally led to one night with four strangers that grew into lasting friendships and a strong foundation built on a shared passion. From that experience, they created something meaningful that continues to grow beyond the investigations themselves.
