Walking with Ghosts: Real Life Hauntings with Amy Bruni
Friday, Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m.

Muriel Kauffman Theatre

Single Ticket On-Sale Date: May 3, 2024, at 10 a.m.

Paranormal investigator, author, podcaster and star of Kindred Spirits and Ghost Hunters, Amy Bruni will share hair-raising tales from her countless hours hunting ghosts at America's most haunted locations. Her unique approach to interacting with the spirits of the dead and those who encounter them will make you question everything you thought you knew about the spirit world and life after death.

Bruni began her professional ghost hunting career just over a decade ago, but her experience with ghosts started when she was very young. She started working professionally as a paranormal investigator in 2007, when she began appearing on Ghost Hunters, of 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, which is currently airing its sixth season and is in pre-production for its seventh. Bruni 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 addition, Bruni is the owner of Strange Escapes, a company offering paranormal excursions to some of America's most notoriously haunted destinations. A native of northern California, she now lives in Newport, Rhode Island, with her young daughter.

WARNING: This talk deals with death, dying, funerary customs and the discussion of paranormal phenomena that can be violent and extreme in nature. Much of what is discussed was not able to be broadcast on television. There is absolutely no video or photography allowed.
