Doug Owen is a well-known non-fiction author and independent paranormal investigator, as well as the founder of Authentic Haunted, a distinctive venture where he curates and trades rare haunted artifacts and allegedly cursed items. Based in Idaho, Doug has devoted decades to conducting paranormal research at some of America’s most enigmatic and haunted locations, including the infamous RMS Queen Mary and the Winchester Mystery House. His investigations also delve deeply into local Idaho landmarks, where he tirelessly uncovers the mysteries and folklore surrounding these often-overlooked sites.

His critically acclaimed memoir, The Unholy Silence, offers a raw and gripping account of the spiritual warfare that invaded his family’s life in a seemingly ordinary Idaho home. Through immersive storytelling and meticulous research, Doug reveals the chilling realities of demonic voices, twisted apparitions, and psychological torment. This book stands as a testament to his relentless pursuit of truth in the face of the supernatural—and the emotional toll such encounters can exact. In his second book, Thinning the Herd: Americans Under Siege by America, he explores themes of political injustice, media manipulation, and government overreach, broadening his writing into the critical realms of civil liberties and constitutional preservation.

Doug’s dedication to truth goes far beyond paranormal research. As a passionate advocate for liberty, transparency, and the Constitution, he uses his voice to challenge propaganda, question unchecked power, and awaken readers to the often-hidden forces shaping modern life. An independent researcher with an unwavering commitment to justice, Doug is inspired by the sacrifices of past generations, striving to secure a freer, more honest future for his children and all Americans. Writing is in Doug Owen's blood; his grandfather was a reporter for The Times after World War II and contributed to notable works, including Norjack: The Search for D.B. Cooper. His grandmother was also a reporter, making journalism a cornerstone of his heritage. Doug has carried that legacy forward by regularly contributing as the Pacific Northwest Reporter for Bank of America Properties’ corporate newsletter, where he penned articles on regional developments. Today, he continues to publish his own monthly newsletter, engaging readers with fresh insights, bold commentary, and firsthand reports from his ongoing investigations.

Doug has a strong appreciation for craftsmanship, which is evident in his work with haunted artifacts, where history, emotion, and energy converge in the objects he uncovers and curates.

An amateur chef with a love for culinary experimentation, he has even considered writing a future cookbook to blend his passion for food with his gift for storytelling. Whether he's working under the hood of a car, experimenting in the kitchen, or delving into research, Doug approaches every endeavor with intensity, creativity, and heart.

Above all, Doug is a father of four. His writing is often guided by a profound sense of duty to protect and inform the next generation.
