Mark Marinaccio is an Executive Producer, Creator, Author, Showrunner, and former Discovery Channel Director of Development.  He has produced hundreds of hours of television for some of the largest cable networks and production companies in the unscripted business. Marinaccio is also known as “The UFO PRO” and “Mr. Paranormal” and he is considered to be the premiere expert when it comes to UFOs, ghosts, monsters, aliens, and all things paranormal, strange and unexplained.

Marinaccio found his way to reality, unscripted, and documentary television due to his passion for exploring all things unexplained. After a highly successful run producing and directing the original hit series, Ghost Hunters, he went on to create and produce paranormal content across multiple networks as well as for his podcast and social media brand, The Strange Story Co.

As a highly sought-after showrunner in the paranormal space, Mark fulfilled a career long dream when he produced and directed, THE SECRET OF SKINWALKER RANCH (S3) for The History Channel, which allowed him to spend four months on what is considered the number one paranormal hotspot in the world. On the heels of the success of that series, The History Channel asked Mark to develop a series that documents his personal attempts at capturing real UFO footage.

When he’s not in the desert looking for UFOs, Mark is at his home studio in Agoura Hills recording his podcast, writing, and developing The Strange Story Channel, a new FAST channel that covers all things strange and unexplained.
