Paranormal Research & Investigation with Lauren Haunts

Live Events, Amy's Blog, Investigations, Updates

Paranormal research investigation can look very different depending on who is asking the questions—and how they choose to look for answers. In this Paranormal Circle members-only livestream, Amy is joined by Lauren Haunts for a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion about science-driven paranormal investigation, intentional experimentation, and the role technology can play in exploring the unexplained.

The livestream begins with a moment of gratitude and reflection following the recent Toys for Tots drive, which brought the community together in a meaningful way. With hundreds of toys donated and an overwhelming show of support, the conversation sets the tone for the evening: connection, curiosity, and purpose. From there, Amy introduces Lauren Haunts—also known as Lauren Hellekson—whose work Amy has followed closely for some time.

Lauren represents a newer voice in the paranormal space, one that approaches investigation through a deeply scientific lens. Throughout the conversation, it becomes clear that her work is rooted in genuine curiosity and respect for the investigative process. Rather than chasing conclusions, Lauren focuses on asking better questions—questions grounded in physics, environmental awareness, and experimental design.

Understanding the Role of Paranormal Research Investigation

A major theme of the livestream centers on technology and equipment-building. Lauren is known for designing and creating her own investigative tools, often crafting them by hand rather than relying on mass-produced devices. This intentional approach allows her to fully understand how each piece of equipment functions, what variables might affect results, and how human interaction can influence data during a paranormal research investigation.

Amy and Lauren discuss how important it is to remain mindful of intention when investigating. Equipment is not simply something to turn on and react to—it is part of a larger experimental system that includes the investigator, the environment, and the conditions surrounding each session. Lauren emphasizes that without understanding how tools work at a fundamental level, it becomes difficult to interpret results responsibly.

The conversation also touches on science as a supportive framework, not a limiting one. Lauren’s approach does not seek to dismiss paranormal experiences, but rather to explore them more deeply. By incorporating physics-based thinking and controlled experimentation, paranormal research investigation can move beyond surface-level reactions and into more meaningful inquiry.

Another key takeaway from the livestream is the importance of new perspectives in the field. Amy shares her enthusiasm for discovering voices she hasn’t encountered before, especially those willing to challenge norms and push conversations forward. Lauren’s work stands out not because it rejects tradition, but because it builds upon it—adding layers of scientific reasoning and creativity.

There is also a strong emphasis on curation over commercialization. Lauren’s equipment is not designed for mass production or quick answers. Each device is built with care, often incorporating personal elements and symbolic touches, reflecting the idea that investigation is both technical and human. This philosophy reinforces the idea that paranormal research investigation benefits from patience, craftsmanship, and thoughtful engagement rather than shortcuts.

Throughout the livestream, the tone remains open and exploratory. Amy and Lauren exchange ideas, observations, and reflections without rushing toward conclusions. This measured pace mirrors the investigative style being discussed—one that values observation over assumption and process over spectacle.

For Paranormal Circle members, this livestream offers a refreshing and grounded look at paranormal research investigation. It highlights how science, technology, and curiosity can coexist with wonder and mystery, creating space for deeper understanding rather than easy answers.

The full livestream replay is now available in the Paranormal Circle VOD library, where members can watch or revisit the discussion at any time.

A Magical December Ahead: Paranormal Circle Livestreams, Events & Holiday Surprises

Live Events, Amy's Blog, Investigations, Updates

Paranormal Circle livestreams are just part of what makes this season so special!

Greetings Paranormal Circle members!

The holidays are in full swing here in New England. I honestly can’t think of a more magical place to spend the season with my family and loved ones. I do have one rule though, after Christmas happens – snow is no longer fun. (That’s when we start making trips to warmer climates as often as possible, ha) There’s also a lot of spooky history and lore in this area during Christmas time. Did you know many believe the veil is at its thinnest on Christmas Eve, making it a prime evening for ghosts to appear?

We have SO much in store for you over the next few weeks. With THREE, count them – THREE – livestreams in December. This is the perfect time to recruit your friends to the circle – and for this month only, we do have a special for new annual memberships. In addition to the t-shirt, they will receive an insulated travel mug as well. This is the PERFECT gift, and if you order within the next week, your items will arrive for Christmas. Already a member and want the mug? They’re in the Paranormal Circle store, along with our other goodies.

Before we dive into the full schedule below, I’m also thrilled to share that I’ll be appearing in a special Momentus event, “Holiday Cuisine to Kill For.” It’s a fun and spooky culinary-themed livestream experience, and Paranormal Circle members can use the exclusive discount code SPOOKYCUISINE10 when registering. You can check it out here.

Below you will find our schedule for the next few weeks:

December 10th – New England Toy Drive benefiting Toys for Tots
I’m hosting a local toy drive and some of my favorite Paranormal friends are coming to assist. We have already collected almost 300 toys, even before the drive happens! If you’re in the area, please join me, Steve Gonsalves, Beckie-Ann Galentine, Dustin Pari and Aaron Sagers, (and the MARINES), for what will be a very fun evening. If you’re not in the area and would like to contribute, you can either send a new unwrapped gift to 270 Bellevue Ave #301 Newport, RI 02840 OR you can purchase off our wishlist here.

Please just make sure gifts arrive by December 10th.

December 11th, 7pm EST – Livestream with Lauren Hellekson AKA Lauren Haunts
I’m a huge fan of Lauren and if you haven’t heard of her, I know you will be too. She is a paranormal researcher, equipment builder, and science communicator whose work blends hands-on experimentation with a physics-driven approach to the unexplained.

December 13th – LIVE FROM NEW ORLEANS
Join me as I livestream from The Big Easy. I’ll be joined by a rowdy Paranormal Roundtable consisting of Greg Lawson, Brad Blair and Jesse Leimkuehler. Greg is known as the “Paranormal Detective”, Brad Blair is a Paranormal Author and organizer of paranormal events (Including Michigan Paracon), and Jesse is the Owner/Operator of Belvoir Winery. (The time for this stream will be announced the day before, so stay tuned.)

December 17th 7pm EST – A Very Merry Paranormal Circle Livestream
We’ll close out the year with one last online party for our members with some very special guests.

January 15th 7pm EST – Livestream investigation from Graestone Manor
I’ll be joined by Beckie-Ann Galentine for a live investigation of one of my favorite haunts.

Beckie is a licensed embalmer whose work in the height of the Covid-19 era shaped her empathetic approach to grief, death, and the paranormal. Raised in an antique store, she blends history with curiosity about the afterlife, bringing humanity to her investigations. Her collection of antique talking boards and mourning artifacts has been featured internationally, and her storytelling has led to appearances in documentaries such as Famously Haunted: Amityville and Scariest Places in America.

January 25th Midnight EST – Livestream from the Queen Mary
Strange Escapes will be onboard the Queen Mary, and we’ll be bringing you in on the action. More details as we get nearer to the date!

That’s all for now friends. Stay warm out there, where ever you are!

xoxo

Updates from the Road – Amy Bruni’s October Tour Adventures

Live Events, Amy's Blog, Investigations, Updates

Updates from the Road: Touring, Vlogging, and Missing the Cats

Greetings from the road, Paranormal Circle members!

This tour has been my most ambitious one yet, but also the most fun. In the past, I would do three or four dates, then head home for a couple of days before going back out again. After talking with my family, we realized that was actually more disruptive and exhausting than just staying on the road. So this year, aside from a quick half-day trip home for Charlotte’s birthday, I’m out for four straight weeks. Other than missing my family and cats like crazy, I’ll admit I feel a little guilty because I get to sleep in every day.

One of the tough things about tour life, though, is visiting all these great cities and towns and having zero time to explore them. We’ve been to so many places that are now on my bucket list to return to, and I’m only halfway through!

It’s been amazing to see how many Paranormal Circle members show up every night. I think we’re converting quite a few new ones, too, ha ha! If you make it out to a show, don’t forget to grab your free gift from the merch table.

I’ve put together a little vlog of our adventures so far, and I’m trying to get better about posting them – turns out I forget to vlog a lot.

I’ll be back to doing live streams in November, and I’m really looking forward to a calm winter at home with my family.

Happy October! Stay tuned for more updates from the road soon!

xoxo,

This laid-back, members-only livestream was part news briefing, part fireside hangout.

Amy streamed from outside on a perfect fall evening and opened up about everything from her massive closet purge (relatable!) to planning next year’s Strange Escapes events. She chatted with members about hotel options in Gettysburg, the energy at past events, and whether she should bring back an official opening night party.

The conversation also turned toward:

📰 Recent paranormal headlines
📻 The status of Haunted Road and her back-and-forth with iHeartRadio
👻 Questions about frauds in the paranormal field (no names named… but 👀)
🛫 Life on the road and the dream of returning to a perfect fall-ready home

Busy Season Begins: Amy Bruni Travels from Gettysburg to Utah

Amy's Blog, Events, Live Events, Updates

Catching Up from a Paranormal Whirlwind

Amy Bruni travels a lot during spooky season, and this year is no exception! It’s been a whirlwind few weeks, and it’s only getting busier. Amy just returned from a successful Strange Escapes in Gettysburg, where Paranormal Circle members gathered for an unforgettable weekend filled with paranormal activity, perfect weather, and even a chilling EVP from the battlefields.

Busy season is upon me! It’s been a crazy few weeks, and it’s only going to get crazier. I’ve just returned home from a very successful Strange Escapes in Gettysburg. There were so many Paranormal Circle members in attendance, it was incredible nice to see. We had a number of experiences through out the weekend, and the weather was absolutely perfect. One of our folks captured an amazing EVP at the edge of the battlefields. It was either horses galloping or men marching, but it’s clear as day. You can watch it on my Instagram or Facebook pages.

Before that, I was in Utah for PhenomeCon. This was a whole new crowd for me. This convention is traditionally UFOs and Cryptids, but they’ve been bringing in more and more paranormal folks each year. They’ve already asked me back for next year, so watch your calendars!

Amy Bruni poses with George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AM radio.

Attendees sit around a firepit sharing stories during a paranormal event excursion.

My ‘Walking with Ghosts: An Evening of True Crime Hauntings’ has also officially kicked off. If you haven’t checked if I’m coming to a city near you, you can do so at walkingwithghoststour.com

Remember, tell the merch table folks that you’re a Paranormal Circle member and there will be a free gift waiting for you!

I’ll try to do updates from the road when I can. I can’t wait to see so many of you out there! The live streams will probably slow down until after Halloween, just because the schedule is so crazy, but we’ll more than make up for it with a very spooky winter.

Cheers friends, see you all soon!

xoxo
