L'Aura Hladik - Founder and Director
L’Aura Hladik, author of "Ghosthunting: New Jersey" (published by Clerisy Press) and the upcoming “Ghosthunting: New York City”, has been officially ghost hunting since 1993 and founded the NJ Ghost Hunters Society in 1998, which to date is the largest paranormal investigating organization in New Jersey.
As a paranormal investigator, L’Aura has stayed at the famously haunted Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, LA. Other ghost hunting explorations have taken her to Chicago, Savannah, and New Orleans. Internationally, she’s investigated several Irish haunted castles, most notably Leap Castle (County Offaly, Ireland).
L’Aura has appeared on the nationally syndicated television show "Montel Williams" (UPN Network) for the Sylvia Browne Halloween special on October 31, 2006, and “The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet” (Fox Network) in September, 2008. In addition to local cable TV program appearances, L’Aura and the NJGHS were the focus of the Treasure HD Dish Network TV show, “Magnificent Obsessions” in March 2007.
She has been a guest on countless AM, FM and Internet radio shows, and local newspapers and E-Zines. L’Aura has worked with paranormal “heavy hitters” Jeff Belanger, John Zaffis, Rosemary Ellen Guiley, and Troy Taylor in the production of various ghost conferences both in New Jersey and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In fact, Belanger decided to do a series of articles for his monthly Ghost Village.com e-newsletter entitled “Women in the Paranormal.” He included L’Aura along with Lorraine Warren, of the ghost hunting duo Ed & Lorraine Warren from Monroe, CT and Donna LaCroix, of the original cast of “Ghost Hunters” on SciFi (now SyFy).
When she’s not out presenting paranormal findings to various libraries and colleges, L’Aura enjoys taking a ride on Shades of Death Road in her 1983 Cadillac Hearse named “Jezzabelle”.

"L'Aura ParaNora" written & sung by Paul Viggiano of The Publick House in Chester, NJ | I was never so honored as I was the night I investigated the Publick House in Chester, NJ -
May 29, 2005.
Paul Viggiano, chef and partner in the revamping of the Publick House, had captured photographic anomalies and had seen "things" out of the corner of his eye. He contacted the NJGHS to come in and investigate before the restaurant re-opened.
His tribute song, "L'Aura Paranora" is a classic, well at least for me any way! thanks Paul!

Brian Sandt - Para-Tech Guru and Producer of the podcast "The Deadline"
Brian has been a member since 2004. In fact, he clocked in as Member # 100! He is the Technical Advisor (read: Guru) for the NJGHS and Producer of "The Deadline" podcast which first uploaded in September 2005.
Brian has always been interested in the paranormal since childhood, but he never really got involved with it untill he contacted the NJGHS regarding an investigation needed where he worked.
Brian is currently working as a network administrator for a small company in Pennsylvania.
When Brian is not working, or performing miracle cures on NJGHS members' computer systems, he enjoys heading down to Atlantic City, up to the Poconos, and just relaxing at home (trying to regain his sanity).
The latest: Brian appeared on the Fox 29 News segment in the fall of 2005 as well as "Magnificent Obsessions" in March of 2007.

Dina has been fascinated with ghosts ever since her early teens when she had numerous experiences and encounters in her childhood home in Clark, NJ.

Her favorite historical place to investigate is Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA. She was fortunate enough to have a number of experiences there and has been published in the book anthology, "Ghostly Tales from America's Jails" by Atriad Press. Other active places she enjoyed investigating are: The Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast in Fall River, MA, New Orleans, LA, Salem, MA and Gettysburg, PA.
She's currently staying at home to raise her son and continues to offer her energy healing services. She also performs house clearings, cleansings and is very active in The American Society of Dowsers and the Holistic Moms Network. Her passions include horseback riding, movies, Border Collies, dowsing, energy healing, spiritual drumming, traveling, forensic psychology, life philosophy, the soul's wisdom and trying to find ways to laugh.
