L'Aura Hladik, author of "Ghosthunting: New Jersey" (published by Clerisy Press) and the upcoming "Ghosthunting: New York City", has been officially ghost hunting since 1993 and founded the NJ Ghost Hunters Society in 1998, which to date is the largest paranormal investigating organization in New Jersey.
As a paranormal investigator, L'Aura has stayed at the famously haunted Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, LA. Other ghost hunting explorations have taken her to Chicago, Savannah, and New Orleans. Internationally, she's investigated several Irish haunted castles, most notably Leap Castle (County Offaly, Ireland).
L'Aura has appeared on the nationally syndicated television show "Montel Williams" (UPN Network) for the Sylvia Browne Halloween special on October 31, 2006, and "The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet" (Fox Network) in September, 2008. In addition to local cable TV program appearances, L'Aura and the NJGHS were the focus of the Treasure HD Dish Network TV show, "Magnificent Obsessions" in March 2007.
She has been a guest on countless AM, FM and Internet radio shows, and local newspapers and E-Zines. L'Aura has worked with paranormal "heavy hitters" Jeff Belanger, John Zaffis, Rosemary Ellen Guiley, and Troy Taylor in the production of various ghost conferences both in New Jersey and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In fact, Belanger decided to do a series of articles for his monthly Ghost Village.com e-newsletter entitled "Women in the Paranormal." He included L'Aura along with Lorraine Warren, of the ghost hunting duo Ed & Lorraine Warren from Monroe, CT and Donna LaCroix, of the original cast of "Ghost Hunters" on SciFi (now SyFy).
When she's not out presenting paranormal findings to various libraries and colleges, L'Aura enjoys taking a ride on Shades of Death Road in her 1983 Cadillac Hearse named "Jezzabelle".
