Ben Hansen is a man of many hats. The Utah native has never been one to sit still. Music, athletics, camping and the like were a huge part of his upbringing. Ben was encouraged to try new things and explore his many interests. Ben has a passion for discovery, and that passion turned into a career, several careers actually.

After college he worked for the Utah County Sex Crimes Task Force. That led to a stint as an FBI special agent where he excelled in formal investigation techniques. Six years in the agency gave Ben a unique perspective on the world and it’s many fascinations. His unquenchable thirst for discovery took hold. In a very “X-Files” type fashion, he decided to branch out.

The opportunity arose for Ben to develop and star in a reality television program where he could utilize his many skills. That opportunity became Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files. Ben led the team in amazing hands-on investigations using all manner of scientific and technological methods, exposing hoaxes and shedding light on many popular myths and some of the strangest phenomenon ever captured on video.

Since the wildly popular Syfy show unceremoniously ended, fans have scrambled to find something comparable to take its place. Like that could ever happen!  But luckily, its charming star Ben Hansen is still very much in the limelight. 

Free to pursue other avenues of interest, Hansen has continued work in the entertainment field by starting his own company, Hypocenter Productions. Together with his night vision company NV Ops, Ben is developing projects dealing with one of his other interests, UFO's. 

What else has Ben been up to? We'll find out on Tuesday June 3rd on America's Most Haunted Radio!
