Author Information

L'Aura Hladik's interest in the paranormal started in childhood and culminated with living in an actual haunted rental house when she was in the eighth grade. In 1993, she officially began hunting for ghosts, and in 1998 she founded the New Jersey Ghost Hunters Society (www.njghs.net), currently the largest paranormal investigating organization in the state with over 700 members. L'Aura is also the author of Ghosthunting New Jersey, another book in the America's Haunted Road Trip series. She enjoys presenting her findings in multimedia presentations to libraries and civic organizations. L'Aura has appeared on the nationally syndicated talk show Montel Williams as well as local cable television shows and various AM and FM radio stations. Although L'Aura's ghost research takes her beyond New Jersey and New York City to other states (and even other countries, such as Ireland), the ""Jersey Girl"" always comes home to her favorite haunt.
