Shannon Sylvia

Shannon Sylvia, hails from the Boston, MA area. She appears on SciFi's Ghost Hunters International as one of the six investigators and has also appeared as a client on A&E's Paranormal State. Her experiences growing up in a small, historic town rife with paranormal activity sparked in her a strong interest in the field, and she has dedicated a great amount of time to investigating unexplainable incidents that for years plagued her parents' home, as well as her own. Those domestic experiences with the supernatural led to Shannon's relationship with a TAPS family team founded by Steve Gonsalves. After several investigations conducted in her home and going through the proper training, she joined the team. Since ghost hunting with GHI, she continues to take every advantage of opportunities to expand her knowledge of paranormal investigating by lecturing at conferences, attending workshops, conducting residential and commercial locations and working with the best in the field.

Loyd Auerbach

Loyd Auerbach is well-known to the public as an expert on Ghosts and Psychic Experience, with 30+ years experience in the field. But as college and other audiences have come to know, he’s the only parapsychologist (scientist who studies the paranormal) who’s also a professional mentalist – in other words, he has one foot in the paranormal and one foot in the world of psychic entertainment. He is a great storyteller and a professor of the paranormal who loves to have fun with his subject. With a Master's degree in Parapsychology, he is Director of the Office of Paranormal Investigations, a Professor at JFK University, and creator and Instructor of the Certificate Program in Parapsychological Studies at HCH Institute, available both in California and for distance learning everywhere else. He is a professional mentalist and psychic entertainer, performing as Professor Paranormal – a title that follows him into his more serious work. He is a member of the advisory boards of the famed Rhine Research Center, as well as the Forever Family Foundation and the Windbridge Institute, both of which study mediumship. He was a Consulting Editor and columnist for FATE magazine from 1991-2004. He is a past President of the Psychic Entertainers Association (and currently on the Board of Directors), and past President of the California Society for Psychical Study. Auerbach is the author of seven books on the Paranormal, including A Paranormal Casebook: Ghost Hunting in the New Millennium (Atriad Press, 2005), Hauntings & Poltergeists: A Ghost Hunter’s Guide (Ronin Publishing, 2004)and Ghost Hunting: How to Investigate the Paranormal (Ronin, 2004). His next book will be taking him in a different direction. Haunted by Chocolate: How to Go from Chocoholic to Chocolate Gourmet is coming early 2010. He’s currently studying to make chocolate professionally, and has conducted chocolate tasting sessions for colleges and corporations since 2008. He has appeared in thousands of radio and print interviews, and well over 100 national and local TV shows including The View, Larry King Live, Oprah, Criss Angel: Mindfreak, Sightings, In Search Of, the Today Show, and Unsolved Mysteries, Late Night with David Letterman, and frequently on A&E, the History Channel, the Travel Channel, the Sci Fi Channel, the Discovery Channel, and The Learning Channel (and many of his cable appearances are in eternal reruns).

Ghost Quest

Ghost Quest is a Paranormal Research Society based out of New Hampshire but traveling the whole of New England and further the group was established seven years ago, and since the first case we have shown our expertise in the field of the supernatural. We are made of three core members Katie Boyd a Demonologist, Occult Sciences Expert with over nineteen years experience and an co-author of both Ghost Quest in New Hampshire as well as an author of her own book detailing her experiences as a Demonologist called Devils and Demonology. Raven Duclos a psychic medium with over thirty years in study and practice within her speciality as well as co-author of the Ghost Quest book, and last but not least Beckah Boyd also a psychic medium with over ten years experience, study and co-author of the collection of cases and evidence called Ghost Quest in New Hampshire. The team has conducted hundreds of investigations over their seven year period, with both private home investigations, businesses and entertainment hotspots.. We have investigated the Palace Theater in Manchester, The Roxy in Boston, The Concord Colonial Inn in Concord, Ma Monson Center (an abandoned 18th century village) in Hollis, NH Rutland Prison Camp in Rutland, MA and the Colonial Inn in Yarmouth Port, MA, just to name a few. To see more of the places we have investigated as well as watch us work please go to www.ghostquest.org . We have organized along with the support of local libraries, lectures about paranormal phenomena, and what it is like to be an investigator. Ghost Quest is known for mixing spirituality with their science, which gives parapsychologists something to think about. The way we conduct our investigations is much different than your average group, we have two psychic mediums who each do separate walkthroughs, they are completely separated unable to speak with each other. Then we compare the notes between the two and find the similarities and differences. This is done to not just validate the presence of spirits but to validate psychic ability in itself. We make the spirituality of investigating spirits very important as most often people misunderstand a poltergeist phenomena for something evil and that is just not the way, more often than not it is simply a matter of a spirit trying to get attention, trying to get their story out or warn a home owner. We rarely run into these “evil” entities. Katie our Demonologist, deals with evil entities from all over the world and often talks about cases we have had that deal with demonic or inhuman entities.
