Anthony Lamberti
Lead Investigator
I am a full-time Security Officer for a great company. I am married to a great woman who I cannot imagine not being in my life. I am a person who loves anything Sci-fi. My passion for the paranormal came to me at a very young age when my grandmother told me a story about my father (who is a huge skeptic when it comes to the paranormal). My grandmother told me one night my father passed out on the couch watching television only to be woken up by something strangling him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a white, blurry figure hovering above him. My father quickly closed his eyes and it was gone. The next morning, my father told my grandmother that he had a dream in which he got strangled by something he couldn't explain. My grandmother pointed at his neck where he had bruises in the shape of fingers. From that point on, I focused on studying the paranormal.
Being a part of Paranormal Investigators of New England has given me a chance to try and find the answers I have been seeking since I was a young child.

Lead Investigator
Father of 2 children, I am originally from Mississippi, but I have lived all over the U.S. including Denver, Phoenix, and Reno.
Through my travels I have met many different walks of life and have had many life experiences and feel more cultured because of it. My hobbies include music production and ,of course, paranormal investigation. I have been interested in the paranormal since I was a child. Taking every opportunity to watch a special on bigfoot, ufo's, or hauntings. It wasn't until I saw the show, Ghosthunters, that I became aware that the field was called the paranormal and that there was a way one could help people while still investigating and advancing the field. I had experiences as an adolescent, but nothing I could definitively say was paranormal and that really sparked an interest in me to want to further investigate and collect concrete evidence to back up those experiences and really put some validity behind them. It wasn't until later that the main driving force behind my want to investigate the paranormal became to figure out what happens when we die. On investigations, I remain as skeptical as possible that way when I do have an experience that I cannot explain I know in my mind that I have ruled every other possibility out without compromising it by my own overactive imagination or jumping to conclusions. I look forward to many more investigations and helping those who don't quite understand the paranormal and learning more about the paranormal myself and hopefully one day (getting the answer before I die) learning what exactly happens when we die.

I have a very inquisitive mind. Ever since I was young, I have always been very intrigued by the paranormal, even though I never had any personal experiences. My favorite TV shows, movies, and books were always either paranormal or sci-fi based and the thought that there could be more to our world than most people allow themselves to see was very fascinating.
In addition to the paranormal, my interests include writing, acting, rooting for the Red Sox, and having fun hanging out with friends. I live with Buffy, Fox, and Odo (my three cats and definitive proof that I am an unashamed nerd). I frequently transport much of our team in my tiny, yet spacious, Yaris, which a British member of our team has nicknamed the TARDIS (much to my delight).
I have been a member of this team since March 2009 and I provide a skeptical viewpoint during investigations. I have witnessed other team members have personal experiences and I have heard some very interesting stuff on recordings, but until I have my first definitive experience, I have to remain skeptical. However, I can say without hesitation that I want to believe!

My interest in the paranormal began at an early age but like many other people I was initially nervous about not only expressing my interest in the paranormal but also sharing my paranormal experiences. I adopt a scientific approach to the paranormal and draw on my background in psychology and behavior analysis when investigating; I have a specific interest in the relationship between emotion, trauma and hauntings. I was blessed to find the MA division of PI-NE as they are a lovely bunch of people who take a scientific and unbiased approach to paranormal investigating. When I joined the team, I felt like I’d come home (even though I’m British and in fact a very long way from home!).
When I am not running around hunting ghosts I manage a community outreach program for individuals with developmental disability. I am also a Mum of 2 highly energetic, beautiful boys. Ironically, scary movies terrify me but I firmly believe in the protective powers of a flashlight.

Investigator
I grew up in Pomona, California. I moved to Massachusetts to try out a new city. I consider myself to be a big nerd because I love Sci-fi. Three of my favorite Sci-fi series are Firefly, Doctor Who, and Star Trek. In my free time, I love playing the card game "Magic: The Gathering." When it comes to computers and technical things, I consider myself "A Wiz". I have been interested in the paranormal as long as I can remember. Working with a team as great as Paranormal Investigators of New England will give me a chance to explore the unexplained and seek out answers.

Investigator
I am a mother of 2 wonderful boys. I enjoy playing bagpipes, reading, photography, and martial arts. My interest for the paranormal started when I was real young with several homes not quite right in the normal way of things. Then I had a near death experience when I was about 14 years old that heighten my natural curiosity for the unusual and not easily explained.
