Shari DeBenedetti:
Paranormal Investigator, Researcher.
Shari became interested in the paranormal at a young age after experiencing many strange and unexplained events throughout her life.
However, it wasn't until the mid-1990s that she began actively researching and investigating the paranormal. At that time the house she was living in was believed to be haunted. One particularly terrifying encounter became the turning point that drove her to seriously research and investigate the paranormal in order to understand what was truly happening.
Shari later formed her own investigative team and has spent decades helping individuals and families who are experiencing activity in their homes. Later, Shari met Jason Hawes, founder of The Atlantic Paranormal Society, and she joined the team in 2014.
She was a full-time cast member as a paranormal investigator on Ghost Hunters (seasons 10 and 11) on SyFy and later returned for seasons 14-16 on the Travel Channel and Discovery+. She also appeared in Season 2 of Ghost Nation.
Today Shari continues to conduct private investigations with local teams while also participating in larger private and public investigations, paranormal events, and conventions across the country.
