Audra has always been interested in the paranormal. Having had an encounter with an apparition that was also witnessed by another person solidified her belief in ghosts at a young age. After a few more encounters over the years, she decided to join NESPI (New England Society for Paranormal Investigations) in 2005. The members of NESPI then merged with some new people and it was decided that a fresh start would be good. In January, 2007 ECTO was the result. Audra specializes in pendulum dowsing for the group. She has also been studying mediumship for the last few years and uses what she has learned on ghost hunts. She is an initiated witch and is also a certified Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, A certified Crystal Medicine Therapist and a certified Color Therapist.
