In Loving Memory of Raymond Gene Newsome Jr. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Raymond Gene Newsome Jr., a devoted father, son, brother, and friend, who left us far too soon on March 30, 2025, at the age of 41. Born December 8, 1983, in Lima, OH, Raymond’s life was one of passion, love, and dedication, to his family, his friends, and the paranormal community he held so close to his heart.

Raymond is survived by his beloved children, Cadence Newsome of Ashland, KY, Raymond M. Newsome of Argillite, KY, and Gabby Newsome of Olive Hill, KY; his parents, Raymond and Della Newsome of Argillite, KY; his brothers, Kent and Pennis Newsome of Melbourne, Australia, and Kyle and Shanna Newsome of Greenup, KY; and his cherished nieces and nephews, Drake and Emma Newsome, Lucas Newsome, and Allie Newsome. He is also survived by his grandparents, Bill Miner, Gerline Mays, and Douglas Stacy, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Holbert and Mildred Newsome, two cousins, Wayne Newsome Jr. and Anthony Gilbert, his uncle, Richard Newsome, and his aunt, Mary Newsome.

Raymond was more than just an investigator-he was the heart and soul of Global Ghost Hunt. From the very beginning, he was a crucial part of the admin team, helping to build and grow this community with his knowledge, passion, and unwavering dedication. To Raymond, the paranormal wasn’t just an interest-it was a calling. He formed unbreakable bonds with those who shared his love for the unknown, offering guidance, laughter, and an undeniable presence that will never be replaced.

To honor his memory, the October 2025 Global Ghost Hunt will be dedicated to him, a tribute to his lasting impact on the field and the people who loved him. His spirit will live on in every investigation, every story told, and every friendship he helped create.

Raymond, you were a light in our lives, and though you are gone, your energy remains with us. We love you. We miss you. And we will never forget you.

Please share your favorite memories, stories, or words of love in the comments. Let’s come together to celebrate his incredible life and the legacy he leaves behind. 

From Bryan-jon Laverty, Founder of Global Ghost Hunt


Raymond, I will miss you so much-especially your dry sense of humor and how you never passed up a chance to make fun of me for being Canadian. I love you, my friend, and I will miss you every single day.
