Full Bio

Teresa McLean has spent more than a decade investigating the paranormal as founder of Hide and Seek Paranormal Society. A lifelong experiencer of the supernatural, McLean's encounters began in childhood and have followed her across decades, relationships, and geographic locations — a phenomenon at the center of her debut memoir. Written while living in Saint James City, Florida, Friend or Foe, Forever Haunted (116,604 words) is the true account of a life shaped by trauma and shadowed by forces from the unseen world. McLean brings both the emotional honesty of a survivor and the methodological rigor of a trained investigator to her writing, drawing on firsthand accounts, corroborated witness testimony, and years of field research. She now lives in North Fort Myers, Florida, where she continues her paranormal work and advocacy for those whose experiences have gone unheard. Friend or Foe, Forever Haunted is forthcoming in July 2026.
