Visit us at www.paranormalunderground.net! In this episode of Paranormal Underground Radio, we talk with Amy Allan and Steve Di Schiavi from the TV show The Dead Files. Chris Davis from Valley Ghost Hunting also stops by for a chat in hour two of the show. Paranormal researcher and physical medium Amy Allan works with retired Homicide Detective Steve Di Schiavi on The Dead Files to solve unexplained paranormal phenomena in haunted locations across America. In this series, Amy uses her abilities to communicate with the dead, often assuming their role and reliving their death; while Steve uses his years of detective experience to search for physical evidence. When the two investigators come together to share their findings, the parallels between their discoveries are powerfully revealed. Amy’s interest in paranormal phenomena began at age four when she says she was tormented by “shadow people” in her Arvada, CO, home. Since then, she’s been on a journey to unravel the mysteries of the unexplained. Amy’s abilities have been studied and tested by leading parapsychologists. She has worked with private investigators, police agencies, and has conducted more than 350 investigations in both private homes and businesses. Amy studied Psychology at the University of Arizona and was mentored by world-renowned Para-psychologist, Dr William Roll. She resides in Denver, Colorado. Devoting more than 21 years of active service to the New York City Police Department, retired Homicide Detective Steve Di Schiavi is now lending his expertise to the new Travel Channel series, The Dead Files. Based on the powerful premise that every property has a story to be told, Steve, alongside physical medium, Amy Allan, combine their unique skills to solve unexplained paranormal phenomena in haunted locations across America. In the series, Steve relies on his police training and experience to explore each property, questioning the owners about the building’s past before gathering more facts from local historians, police investigators and by tracking down past owners of the property. When the two investigators come together to share their findings, the parallels between their discoveries are powerfully revealed. Following his retirement from the NYPD, Steve worked as a Senior Investigator of Merrill Lynch’s Fraud Department. Steve is currently a Special Investigator for the city of New York and is a licensed New York State Private Investigator and a licensed Armed Guard. He also owns his own Private Investigation Company, Paragon Investigations. Steve was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and currently resides on Staten Island with his wife and daughter.

Visit us at www.paranormalunderground.net! In this episode of Paranormal Underground Radio, we talk with Paul Green and Stephen Lambert of Extreme Ghost Hunting, which is located in the UK. –Paul Green aka The Psychic Biker is a talented medium and psychic that was once an ardent skeptic. From an early age he displayed his ability to connect to the other side. Those people that adults said were dead seemed very much alive to Paul. Yet as he reached his mid twenties he became a complete and utter skeptic, someone who scoffed at psychics and ghosts. Then in his late 30s with a lot of time on his hands due to a change in family circumstances he began out of curiosity to research the world of the paranormal. After many years of private study and practice including working within a closed development circle his talents and ability blossomed and since that time some 14 years ago he has done hundreds of readings and carried out many investigations of haunted locations. Now he with his close friend and business partner Stephen, the Extreme Ghost Hunter, runs a company that is dedicated to giving people a unique experience. They both wanted people to feel, see, and hear first hand any paranormal activity that was occurring around them while on investigations, using their own senses and not via a camera feeding into a TV screen, nor via playback on a video camera or some other electronic gadget. From that shared philosophy they combined their talents, Paul as the psychic medium and Stephen as the historian, researcher and ghost hunter. Now Paul finds that this part of mediumship is his main focus. He still does do readings for clients at times but finds the fast paced environment of an investigation is something he particularly enjoys. With a book co written with Stephan due for publication in summer of 2011, his work in radio both in the UK and internationally plus the increasing interest in TV projects he and Stephen have developed he finds his diary is full for many months ahead. Living as he does in an isolated cottage in North Northumberland he spends much of his time in his office toiling over the PC looking at new and interesting projects while enjoying the spectacular views of the ever changing views outside his window. –Stephen was born in Ashington, Northumberland, England, and it was his father who helped start him on the journey he is now on. He absolutely loved horror movies. Rightly or wrongly, as a young boy, Stephen had watched many such movies as The Evil Dead, Dawn of the Dead, The Exorcist and many more. His parents still have a box set of 70′s LP’s that has a Ouija board drawn on the inside of the cardboard box that held the LP’s. Stephen decided to go it alone. He had an idea for a book (which some of you are reading now), albeit it has taken about 5 years and many format changes to get to this point. Stephen wanted to have a go at things in his own way. He had made up his mind to contact locations in Northern England Scotland about the possibility of spending time at their haunted location. Stephen would document the history, ghost stories and record accounts from the overnight vigil. The big difference being, this was to be done by him or at most there would be only two people on location. Stephens work for the book at this time was very enjoyable. He got the chance to stay in some wonderful places, some which were family homes not open to the public. One of Stephen’s accounts was published in a book by Jason Karl, 21st Century Ghosts. Working on the book gave Stephen the idea for a TV show. Being on location alone really captures what Stephen believes ghost hunting is about and this is what he wanted to give the public the chance to see. No fancy equipment and at one with the elements along with the fear of being alone. To take the ideas forward Stephen teamed up with Paul”The Psychic Biker” and Extreme Ghost Hunting Limited was created.
