Summary
Some people stumble into the paranormal by accident. Others are pulled into it by a moment so vivid, so impossible to ignore, that it changes the direction of their lives. For Vinnie Amico, that moment came in childhood — the day he saw his grandfather standing before him, alive and unmistakably real… despite having passed months earlier.
That single experience became the spark of a lifelong pursuit to understand the unknown. More than forty years later, Vinnie has built an entire ecosystem around the paranormal: investigative teams, research societies, tours, and tools designed to bring others into the world that first opened itself to him.
Vinnie shares hard-earned insights from decades of fieldwork—what equipment truly matters, the misconceptions new investigators fall into, the locations that continue to surprise him, and the lessons learned from walking into dark spaces where the past doesn’t stay quiet. This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the Grave Talks, part two of our conversation about paranormal investigations, |
| 0:07.2 | equipment, locations, and more with paranormal investigator Vinnie Amico. |
| 0:15.0 | When you moved out there, did you have any idea that you would find as many locations as you have? |
| 0:24.6 | Did you know the history and kind of that there was a lot of hauntings and, or at least, alleged, hauntings? |
| 0:32.1 | Well, yeah, there was quite a lot. Again, when I moved out here in 2008, you know, the internet was, you know, full board. |
| 0:38.5 | There was information everywhere and obviously your research. And back east, I wasn't the one to, |
| 0:45.5 | let's go do the Waverly's or, you know, I just wasn't that type of person to go and experience |
| 0:52.0 | those types of things. But when I came out here trying to find groups of people, |
| 0:56.6 | like I mentioned that meetup, I went. There was three or four different groups that I joined there. |
| 1:01.6 | So what was the thing? They would do events at these different locations. So that's where I was first introduced to these places. |
| 1:09.2 | And then, you know, you hear about other places. As we grew out here, people found out about us and we would be contacted by someone, hey, we go to this blah, blah, blah, blah place. It's supposed to be haunted. We investigated there a couple of times. We're going to go back. Would you join us? You know, we would love to see what you come up with. |
| 1:28.0 | So that's how I was introduced to other places. |
| 1:30.4 | Down in Ajo, the Phelps Dodge Hospital, that one place was a meetup event that we first |
| 1:38.1 | went down to May 2015, I think it was. |
| 1:42.1 | We had to pay $1,000. |
| 1:43.9 | There was 10 of us, so we all anteed up 100 bucks each. |
| 1:47.6 | And we went down there to investigate. We were the first team in there. Then if it sold about three years ago. |
| 1:55.4 | But during that entire time, that place was unheard of. Actually, I think Ghost Adventures was down there. They |
| 2:02.4 | did an episode down there, which changed the complexity of the place afterwards. But it was a place |
| 2:08.8 | that wasn't anywhere. There wasn't on any website, you know, again, you go and you Google, you know, |
| 2:14.4 | haunted locations in Arizona, San Carlos, the Grand, you know, Bisbee, |
| 2:19.5 | same things, you know, tend to pop up. |
