Jessica has always had an interest in the paranormal. Jessica may have a spiritual side yet the scientific half of her wants to seek a natural explanation. To Jessica, the unknown is fascinating! Especially what is not know after death. Pursuing her interest, Jessica has completed a course in Demonology and has had other spiritual ad visors teach her the basic principals of the spirit world. But Jessica seeks to gain a greater understanding in active paranormal engagements and case investigations. Her investigations that are most notable are that of The Byron Inn, the Banta Inn and the Old Asylum in Tracy, California. At the Byron Inn Jessica recalls a memorable event; During the time she was recording EVP's on the third floor, a fellow team member asked if any presence was near. On the marble stair case, on the first floor, were the sound of foot steps. As if someone were wearing high heels....loud and clear. No one else was on the first floor. They went to investigate and walked toward the foot steps and the footsteps stopped.

Amy Carlson

Orion's Certified Angel Messenger and Psychic Medium

Amy Carlson is a Psychic Medium. She has had her abilities since early childhood. As a child, Amy was awakened one night to see 3 older women standing at the foot of her bed. She referred to them as "The Witches". She continued to see and talk to "The Witches" and other Spirits throughout her early childhood. As she continued through high school, her interest in the Paranormal grew. She began to read the Tarot, and read her friends and family. One event, which forever changed her life, was while reading a friend on a school bus. She clearly saw and felt the girl's death. The girl died 2 weeks later. This very much scared Amy, and was the end of her search for the paranormal until she met Reverend Shari Johnson. Through Shari's guidance and support she once again opened herself up to trust in spirit communication. Amy is a Certified Angel Messenger and a Psychic Medium who continues to learn, explore and help others heal through the use of her gifts.
