KyL T. Cobb, Jr.

Author, Adventurer, Historian, Paranormal Investigator and Demonologist

KyL T. Cobb, Jr. has had the good fortune of living an extraordinary life.

Having the grown up in rural Spalding County, Georgia where the nearest neighbors were a half mile away, Cobb was raised on 1950s television reruns where morals still mattered. Bolstered by a strongly ethical and religious family, the ideas of “Truth, Justice, and the American Way” were more than just a tag line on Superman reruns. While the tiny hamlet of Brooks, Georgia was the nearest post office, the closest real town and center of gravity for Cobb was Griffin, Georgia where his father ran several businesses and served as a State Senator.

The death of Cobb’s father two weeks before college changed the Cobb’s life trajectory in many ways. The greatest impact of that event was to leave Cobb questioning the nature of God and the universe.

The last three decades of Cobb’s life have been a quest to answer those questions.

Cobb has worked for the CNN, as a consultant for the Unites States Air Forces in Europe, for a Nortel spin-off, for a pharmaceutical company, for an engraving company and as an independent computer consultant.

Traveling to sacred sites across the globe, encompassing fifty-eight countries, Cobb has been able to encounter many of the world’s mysteries first hand. From Egypt to the jungles of Guatemala, there is scarcely a pyramid in the world that Cobb hasn’t climbed or explored. Cobb has spent time in the homes of shamans and watched Mayan Sun Death rituals as a welcomed guest. From Presidents of countries to impoverished villagers in the Middle East, Cobb has been honored with a chance to embrace their lives. With each adventure, Cobb’s understanding of the universe has changed. According to Cobb, “Many people dream while they sleep about unknown, exotic places. I have always believed that the dreams I have in waking moments are far more useful. Without these waking dreams, I could not see the magic and mystery that surrounds me. If I can see the possibilities, then I can realize them.”

Having studied twenty-two different religions, a decade ago Cobb was called to enter the field of paranormal investigation unexpectedly. “A young lady needed help…,” commented Cobb, “and when someone asks for your help you do what you can to try to help them. Back then, my first team of paranormal investigators didn’t know what we doing. We got lucky and the impossible found us.”

The road to understanding has required tens of thousands of hours of research and first hand investigation. Cobb reflects on the experience with, “I am obsessive about research. When I started researching my history book on Griffin, Georgia, I read over 5,500 newspapers from a neighboring town to get a better historical insight. You can’t trust modern history sources. So, whether I am researching demons or a con man from the 1800s, I will spend weeks searching for contemporary sources.”

Over the past few years, Cobb has come to be regarded as an international specialist and lecturer on the history of demonic cases around the world. Often speaking to beyond capacity crowds, Cobb developed a reputation for discovering the hidden truth behind many of the world’s top supernatural events. Often, Cobb’s reputation has been earned by revealing perfectly natural causes behind the hysteria.

Cobb’s first commercial book was Ghosts and Demons: The Lost Things in September 2015. This work was designed as a text book for paranormal investigators. In addition to discussing the scientific theories behind paranormal research, Cobb also extensively presents the historical and literary development of the concepts of paranormal. The book also features case studies on famous demonic cases such as Anneliese Michel and the Exorcist movie.

In March 2016, Cobb released his fourth commercial book, Ghosts and Demons: The Truth of the Bell Witch.
