About Me

Erica Popino has been a paranormal enthusiast all her life. She started exploring and photographing cemeteries over 25 years ago. Erica showed a great interest in spirit photography while in high school and photographed her very first paranormal image at the age of 16. Now at the age of 43, Erica has gained an even greater knowledge by studying and investigating the paranormal.
Erica has attended many weekend paranormal conferences and lectures regarding ghost hunting and is a 2008 graduate of Dale Carnegie. She, along with Mike Taylor of Island Ghost Investigations www.islandghost.com, have recently done ghost lectures and presentations at Suffolk Community College.
Erica participated in a weekend ghost investigation at the Houghton Mansion in Massachusetts; Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia; and the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire with Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, and Steve Gonsalves from the hit Sci-Fi series Ghost Hunters.
Erica was actively involved with the Ghost Hunters of Long Island from 2003 through 2004. In 2005 she formed Long Islands P.A.S.T. (Paranormal Activity Study Team). P.A.S.T. is a public group of ghost enthusiasts with over 150 members across Long Island who meet monthly for public ghost hunts, and to network and discuss the paranormal.
Erica is a lead investigator with Island Ghost Investigations www.islandghost.com Erica has also been a featured guest on the Ghost Chronicles radio show as well as Crossroads Paranormal Radio .

Erica has been witness to apparitions, unexplainable light anomalies, and unexplained voices and other paranormal phenomena. She is mainly involved in spirit photography but also uses other methods to discern possible hauntings. Her personal ghost hunting tools consist of a 9.1 digital camera with infra-red night shot and video, an EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) meter and K2 meter, and infra-red thermometer, a night vision scope, a digital voice recorder and a pendulum. The digital voice recorder is used to record EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena).
