Alex Matsuo has been chasing ghosts in one form or another since she was 15. During the day, she is a learning experience designer for a major cloud company. In her spare time, Matsuo is a paranormal researcher, investigator, and author who moved to Northern Virginia about two years ago. Her research has been a nice way to learn about the area and its history. Matsuo starts her research online but gets plenty of help from local librarians and a team of like-minded paranormal enthusiasts.
