Enchanting Paranormal Investigations of New York

Leanne McDonald

Leanne McDonald is an Evidential Psychic Medium, residing in the scenic mountains in Upstate, New York. Leanne has combined over the years her own natural abilities and blended in what she has sought out and learned from some of the greatest, world class mediums across the globe. The training Leanne has received including several mentorships has been extensive, which has brought Leanne’s mediumship to the quality, and high ethical standards that it is today.  Leanne has been engaging and communicating with spirit from as young as she can remember. Daily interactions with spirit were what Leanne thought was normal when she was growing up. It wasn’t until her early teen years that Leanne discovered not everyone was communicating with spirit like she was. It was around this time that Leanne began to seek refuge in her own space, seek quiet times and dived deeper into conversations with spirit while letting them be her teacher and guide her in showing her what life is like, beyond the veil. Spirit guides Leanne through her life, and her day-to-day interactions and is a continuous strength with her at all times. Leanne’s ability to hear spirit so clearly at times, sparked the interest of Yale University in Connecticut where Leanne was asked by the medical researchers if she would participate in a series of tests on campus. Leanne participated in Yale’s studies and research over an 18mth period—which gave Yale an inside edge into the inner workings of a mediums brain activity during spirit communication. Yale continues to request Leanne back, for additional participation. Leanne is also a Certified Psychic Investigator (CPI) with the LWISSD. (Lisa Williams International School of Spiritual Development). Leanne is one of only a small handful of Psychic/Mediums in the world to have successfully passed and achieved certification. Leanne has experience working with law enforcement, detectives, private investigators and families whilst using her abilities and training to help aid in cases that need assistance. Leanne will take on cases ranging from, but not limited to: Missing persons, Murders & Homicides. Leanne is also the founder and lead investigator with Enchanting Paranormal Investigations of NY (EPINY). Leanne’s interest in paranormal began when her and a friend began their own investigations and communications with spirit in houses back in the late 1980s before high tech equipment was readily available like it is now. Eager and investigating with nothing more than their own selves and a Ouija board, Leanne has come a long way in her investigation skills and equipment. Today Leanne uses equipment that ranges from the most simplistic devices to state of the art high tech cameras and audio recorders. Not to mention the most important thing she brings with her to all investigations—Common Sense!

John McDonald

Team Manager ~ Lead Paranormal Investigator

John McDonald is loving, kind, compassionate husband, father, as well as an avid fisherman. John began sensing spirit as a young child. Not knowing at the time what these experiences were, he carried on thinking it was just a normal facet of life. Onward into adulthood things progressed. He could hear things, see things and know things as if these experiences were actually happening in his personal everyday life. Realizing there was something more to it he began to explore the metaphysical. Those experiences led an interest to explore Tarot cards. Equipped with intuition and a book, he did some readings for some unfamiliar volunteers. The responses to the readings was amazement! People couldn’t believe how accurate and specific the information being given out was. So, he began studying and perfecting his abilities in the craft of Tarot Card reading. One of his favorite sayings is, “the cards don’t lie.” During this time of development, John also began training in Mediumship as well as Spiritual and Energy Healing. John’s training has included but not limited to, some of the world’s finest Tudors from The Arthur Findlay College in England. Colin Bates, Tony Stockwell and Stella Upton have all aided John to further his development. Many years have passed and countless readings and experiences engaging with spirit and the unseen around us - John knows without question how very real the energy which surrounds us all is and how close we are to the Spirit world which intertwines with all of our everyday lives. For John, there is NO doubt we are not alone and there is NO question that things which we cannot see are indeed there. His approach to Paranormal Investigation isn’t just limited to proving what is or is not there, but also to see how far or in what ways we can interact with spirit. That said, John will tell you, not everything that goes bump in the night is “spirit” As the owner of a Plumbing business, John is pretty keen to the many things that can make a dwelling sound like it’s haunted, and with his problem-solving way of thinking and some high tech equipment, investigating these occurrences allows for the capture of the unseen with science.

Nathan McDonald

Paranormal Investigator

Nathan was born and raised in Upstate NY by his parents, Leanne and John. Nathans home and family life growing up was essentially, all things mystical! Having a mom and dad who are both psychic mediums, meant Nathan had some pretty consistent exposure on a regular basis to learning all about the other side of the veil, not to mention some very early hands on experience and knowledge in the world of paranormal. Nathan never shied away from any of it--in fact when Nathan entered his late teens he was organizing his own paranormal investigations as well as séances. Nathan loves to explore the unknown, gain facts, evidence and knowledge in the world of paranormal. In Nathan's free time he loves to tinker around with his truck, ride quads and dirt bikes, play ball with his dog, cook meals for his girlfriend and has a love for all things aviation.
