Peter James

Peter James had been a full-time ghost hunter and psychic since 1980 and had been studying ghosts and his own psychic abilities since his first ghost encounter when he was seven years old and living in Rochester, New York. James spent eight years as the resident psychic on the television show "Sightings," and he regularly conducted ghost tours of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, where he claimed there are more than 600 spirits haunting the ship. He passed away on 31 July 2007, and his work is carried on by his co-author Gian Temperilli, Gian's daughter Sophia, and psychic Erika Frost at the Queen Mary.
