Her parents and her four sisters: Nancy, Christine, Cynthia and April are the real family from the Conjuring movie.   In June of 1970 her mom found the farm, then known as the old Arnold Estate; two-hundred acres of land with a big barn and a farmhouse; plenty of space to spread out and explore Nature. It was the perfect place to raise a family, according to the owner, though he failed to disclose a crucial element of the experience he endured as an occupant.    For almost a decade the family lived among the dead. There they came to understand that we are not alone and there is something beyond mortal existence.   In 2007 Andrea began writing a manuscript which has now evolved into the trilogy “House of Darkness House of Light” a book about what her and her family went through.   She says writing the book has proved to be quite an excursion in its own right, spawning some nightmares while exhuming the memories of t

Thank you so much for listening and welcome back!! This weeks guest is Linda the Ghost Hunter.   When she was very young, she realized that she had the gift to be able to sense and communicate with spirits. At first, this was unnerving, but in time, she realized that most spirits are not here to do harm.

In the years since, she has expanded her knowledge of, and experience with, the paranormal. She has been brought into people's homes and businesses to help figure out experiences they've had that they don't understand or can't explain. She have been featured on several television shows and worked as a paranormal expert for TV and films.   She started this ghost hunting tour to bring the ghost hunting experience to more people.
