Amy Bruni, co-star of “Kindred Spirits” and one of the world's leading paranormal investigators, has learned a lot about ghosts over her years of research and first-hand experience. Now, in “Life with the Afterlife,” she shares the insight she has gleaned and how it has shaped her unique approach to interacting with the spirits of the dead and those who encounter them. From her earliest supernatural encounters as a child, through her years appearing on “Ghost Hunters” and the creation of her company Strange Escapes, which offers paranormal excursions to some of America's most notoriously haunted destinations, and into her current work on The Travel Channel's “Kindred Spirits,” this show is full of astonishing and deeply moving stories of Amy's efforts to better understand the dead but not yet departed. With Amy's bright humor and fierce compassion for both those who are haunted and those who are haunting, “Life with the Afterlife” is an eye-opening look at what connects us as people, in life and beyond.

Amy Bruni

Amy Bruni started her professional ghost hunting career just over a decade ago, but her experience with ghosts started when she was very young. She began as a paranormal investigator in 2007, when she began appearing on Ghost Hunters, in which she starred in 116 episodes. Now, she’s the co-star and executive producer of The Travel Channel’s Kindred Spirits, one of the longest-running and highest-rated paranormal television shows, currently airing its sixth season and is in pre-production for its seventh. 

Amy is also the host of the wildly popular Haunted Road podcast, which just wrapped its second season and is in pre-production for its third. In support of these shows, Amy has appeared at numerous conventions, like San Diego and New York Comic Cons, and has other appearances planned for 2022 and 2023. 

Amy is also the owner of Strange Escapes, a company offering paranormal excursions to some of America’s most notoriously haunted destinations. 

A native of northern California, Amy now lives in Newport, Rhode Island with her young daughter.
