Graysand Paranormal are a paranormal investigation business which operates out of Graybar Shopping Centre on Graybar Street, Bluff City. It is located next to a ShopRite, a Pizza place and laundromat. Their actual shopfront used to be an H&R Block and still contains most of the layout of that office, with a loose bullpen and front counter with a selection of newspaper clippings, photos of staff, and a photo of the kids softball team they sponsor behind it.
It is owned and funded by Millennium Alexander Black, although prior to "The Cost of Greed" they had not met him.
They have been in business for a while when first seen during "The Cost of Greed". Their business is described as "not booming but solid" with a specialty in ghosts, although they have become well-known for the Jersey Devil case. Their first most common client type is people who don’t understand their electronic equipment, their second most common hire them for poltergeists, and third most for land-based creatures.
Although they are not a franchise, they do consider themselves to be part of a broader society of ghost hunters and go to conventions/get the newsletters. All staff members got their “ghost hunter diplomas" from a 4 hour seminar (PhDead), and these can be seen hanging up on the walls in the office.
Syd was hired primarily to film a ghost hunting show pilot for them on Dailymotion (where their account name is GreysandParanormalOfficial). She also provides the primary transportation for the team.
