By day she works in sales, by night, she’s a real-life ghostbuster.
For nearly two decades, psychic and paranormal investigator, Soula Vaitsis, has scoured everything from abandoned asylums and spooky jails, to ghost-plagued suburban semis, in the hopes of an encounter with a disembodied spirit.
But the seeds for the Melbourne-based mum’s otherworldly occupation were sown after a childhood encounter with a ghost.
“I was only 7 at the time,” the 46-year-old tells New Idea. “I was at a local park with my cousin. We were on the swings next to one other when my cousin said to me: ‘Don’t pull my hair!’ I was swinging next to her at the time. I replied: ‘I didn’t.’ And then, suddenly, I felt my own hair being pulled.
“Jumping off the swings, we both began to run, before I stopped to turn back, and then I saw her – a woman in a long, white nightgown with long black hair and black holes for eyes, floating a metre off the ground.
“Our feet barely touched the ground running home – my heart was pounding so hard! I told me parents, but they didn’t believe me.”
Traumatised and terrified by the encounter – “to this day I can’t sleep in a dark room alone,” she says – more experiences soon followed.
