Looks  as though her career in the paranormal just started in 2007.  Hmm…think I  do a little more digging.  Thanks for asking the question Revenant.

I normally don't check out Myspace or Facebook or Twitter or whatever.  Just not into it.  But I did click on the link to Amy's page (thanks for the link, Hannah) just to check it out.

First…wow!  I thought she was about 22 yrs old.  I was going to post "Well, I don't think she's really old enough to have much of a job history."  Guess I was wrong there.  Had no idea she was 32.  She doesn't look it, which is a compliment.  She doesn't act like it either, which is a bit insulting.  Let me rephrase it by saying "She acts more youthful than her age would indicate."  Maybe that's better? 

Some people here seem to be down on her.  Not sure why really.  She does mention "West Coast" every chance she gets, I guess that can be annoying.  But I'm not "for or against" her.  After glancing over her Myspace page however, I am awarding her 50 points for listing Tom Waits as one of her heroes. 

Correction:  Her paid career in the paranormal started in 2007.   According to interview with her in 2008, she grew up in a haunted house and was a senior investigator for American Paranormal Investigations.  The picture in the interview to me is more indicative of her true age.  But I am like you, I thought she was younger.

"Since I magically appeared on Ghost Hunters a few episodes ago, I've been receiving a lot of questions from people wondering who the heck I am and where I came from. Unfortunately, it's not often that I'm near a real computer, so it's hard for me to answer my myspace messages with any sort of regularity…but I do read them all, promise. 

"I am from Northern California and was an investigator with a TAPS Family group in that area for awhile. Through my involvement with them, I met Grant. Shortly thereafter, I was brought on as Program Director for TAPS Family Radio, a podcast the TAPS Family puts on weekly. After just a couple months of that, Jason and Grant asked me to become involved in their radio show, Beyond Reality Radio. BRR took a lot of work, so we were constantly in contact with each other and we all became close friends, (that's how I met Kris Williams and Grant's wife, Reanna – two of my best girlfriends in the whole wide world!) Considering the Beyond Reality Radio show centered a lot on paranormal topics, it didn't take long for Jason and Grant to realize I had a lot of the same views on the paranormal as they do and that it is something I'm very passionate about. When they started kicking around the idea of having a 6th core member, it was important to them that it be someone they knew they would all mesh with and who had the ability to be on the road for long periods of time. I guess I fit that bill and they asked me. :)"

She has not been on enough for me to say whether she is an asset or not to the "team".  

Hmmm…is it safe for me to rule out biological warfare then?

A raccoon head on an inflatable duck, set on fire and set adrift. . .voila! Viking funeral.

So…they gave the raccoon a Viking funeral…on a flaming inflatable duck…so he could take his rightful place in Valhalla amongst the other fallen warriors?  I'm not entirely certain if that's what Odin had in mind…

And…aren't there some kind of laws broken with this?  I'm unfamiliar with Montauk law, yet I would have to believe that setting dead wild animals ablaze upon blow-up water fowl somehow infringes on a few on them.  I'd like to see them explain why they're in jail to their cell-mates…I've got a feeling they'd become very popular…
