Lindsey Cennamo—better known as Phantomette—isn’t just chasing ghosts; she’s living among them. With a striking blend of dark carnival glam and raw paranormal intensity, she steps into the world’s most haunted locations, seeking answers in the shadows. From eerie Vegas casinos to the bone-chilling Haunted Hill House, Lindsey shares the highs, the horrors, and the hauntings that made her question everything.
I’ve been fascinated by the paranormal since I was a kid. Like many young children, I would often see spirits, which sparked my curiosity and interest in the unknown. Growing up on Long Island, my idea of fun was exploring abandoned local asylums and cemeteries (not to mention my best friend lived in an EXTREMELY haunted house). My thoughts and theories about the paranormal are always evolving—I don’t think anyone truly knows how any of this works, but that mystery is what makes it so intriguing.
My aesthetic is all about embracing the eerie, the chaotic, and the unknown—just like the paranormal. The dark carnival vibe adds that surreal, anything-can-happen energy, while the horror element taps into the thrill of fear and mystery. And the high-impact sex appeal? That's just another form of raw energy-confidence, intensity, and presence-which I think spirits pick up on- though this element sometimes sparks a lot of controversy and judgement.
Most people see Vegas as bright lights and wild nights, but underneath the party is a much darker side. This city was built on crime and tragedy—perfect conditions for hauntings.
Every hotel and casino here holds stories and secrets, if you pay close attention. I think anyone can feel that energy. The place I tend to feel it the most is the “old strip” also known as Fremont street. Those old casinos are on another level... if only walls could talk.
I’ve only had one encounter where I truly was ready to quit. The Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, Texas. I know that prior to this I’ve been scratched and touched by the unseen but this place showed me how present these entities can be in our realm.
The last straw was an extremly loud hiss in my ear... I tossed my $1000 camera across the room and ran out. That night I sat awake in bed reviewing the footage over and over trying to come up with a logical explanation for what happened that night.
It’s hard to convey the events that unfold on camera because a lot of this involves being present in that moment. I've always wished that things like temperate changes, phantom scents, and the feeling of someone being in the room with you who isn’t there could come across on camera. I think people can get a good sense of that though with my raw reactions and with the help of paranormal research equipment to give a visual aspect of what is going on.
I've always had a passion for creating visually appealing intros for my channel. The dark carnival theme is a new one for me —although I’ve always loved that aesthetic, I find it so scary and beautiful. There’s no better feeling than having a vision in my head and watching it come to life... it gives people a chance to get a peek inside my crazy mind.
I’ve recently stepped away from real estate to persue paranormal full time—however when I did do real estate I did view some homes that seemed to be straight out of a horror movie. I’ll never forget showing my clients a home that they wanted to see, when I showed up there was some sort of crime scene sticker on one of the bedroom doors. We didn’t stay in there very long. It has always been my dream to buy a haunted location so it’s safe to say I’ll keep my license active just in case an opportunity arises.
One big misconception is that ghosts are always scary or evil. Thanks to horror movies, people expect every haunting to be some demonic nightmare, but most spirits aren't out to terrorize anyone. A lot of them are just residual energy, stuck in a loop, or spirits trying to communicate in whatever way they can. Sure, some places have darker energy, but not every knock or shadow figure means something sinister is lurking. The paranormal is way more complex than just "good vs. evil," and I think people would have way more compelling experiences if they dropped the Hollywood expectations.
Well, you would be surprised... I sometimes ghost hunt in a fancy dress and high heeled boots (although this isn’t always very practical) but a good pair of black cargo pants is always a good go-to staple. The more pockets the better.
I can’t say for sure if they are always around us but I do believe they are around more often than people think. I believe the more open you are to receiving a sign or message of some sort the more likely it is to happen.
