Our tribute to Gaurav Tiwari includes 'The X-Files', and plenty of Sam and Dean Winchester.

A man investigating paranormal activities is found dead under mysterious circumstances in his house — the authorities say it's suicide, but all those who know him say he couldn't have taken his own life.

Seems like a case for Mulder and Scully, doesn't it? (An X-Files reference, for the uninitiated)

When Gaurav Tiwari, 32, founder and CEO of Indian Paranormal Society was found dead in his house on 7th July, 2016, it quipped the interest of the whole nation.

Tiwari, a trained pilot, had investigated numerous hauntings, UFO sightings and mysterious creatures. His father, Uday Tiwari, told Times of India that Tiwari had spoken to his wife a month ago about 'a negative force that was pulling him towards it' and that he was 'trying to control it but seemed unable to do so.'

This definitely seems like it was taken out of the X-Files casebook. Speculation says that the cigarette smoking man might be behind his death (another X-Files reference). If the paranormal interests you, here are a few classic paranormal shows that you can watch:

The X-Files

This '90s show is the best show about paranormal activity out there. Scully and Mulder, two FBI agents, traverse the world in search of UFOs, ghosts and unexplained phenomenon. There is an added bonus for Breaking Bad fans: Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, has penned many episodes of the first three seasons.
