Amy Bennett-Bradway. Helping ordinary people feel less ordinary through the supernatural.
I focus on the human condition of fear within the paranormal: how we face it, understand it both individually and collectively, and how we keep our interpretations fluid. If I can get you to say “I don’t know” about the paranormal with complete confidence and ease, I’ve done what I set out to do.
My autobiography, I Sent a Text to a Demon, about four years being trapped in a paranormal sex cult, is being published here and only here in Spring 2026.
I’ve traveled and investigated the paranormal since 2003 when I was in college and still lacked a lot of self-awareness. But I was curious, and that stayed with me through a BA in Anthropology with a minor in Religious Studies from SUNY Oneonta, NY, (2005), and a Masters of Science in European Archaeology from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, (2007). That same sense of curiosity got me into, and out of, a dire situation with a criminal narcissist and sex pest. That’s where my life really got weird, and it’s ultimately lead to the paranormal community where I exist today, and where I’m ready to tell it to the WORLD. 😳
I read, I investigate the paranormal, I’m a multimedia artist married to a musician and a writer. I’m published in Haunted Magazine (UK), several volumes of The Feminine Macabre and the horror fiction anthology Dark Village. Links to more of me right here.
