Samantha is the founder of the team. She began her paranormal journey when she was 17 years old. Sam lost her mother as a child, and she was visited by a spirit one night. After that, Sam began exploring what she experienced. She realized the spirit who had visited her was her mother. This awakened an interest in the field for her, as well as her spiritual abilities. She started investigating with her friends and urban exploring abandoned properties. She also gained an affinity for the macabre, and even spent some time working as an actress at haunted attractions. Samantha identifies as an empath, and if she thinks a location will be active, she has never been wrong!
Chinelle is the co-founder of the team. She has experienced paranormal activity her entire life, although she did not realize what it was until right before her 18th birthday. The house Chinelle grew up in was (and still is) haunted. She can remember being 4 years old, and feeling like she was being watched, or she would see and hear things she didn’t understand. She began watching paranormal TV shows out of pure interest, and she had an awakening. She asked her father about the activity in the home, and his response was “I will tell you the same thing my mother told me as a child. You leave them alone, and they will leave you alone. They aren’t to be feared.” Chinelle knew this was her calling in life then. When asked by others what her dream job was, she learned quickly “to be a ghost hunter” would be met with a lot of interesting reactions. She started joining ghost walks with her friends, diving into historical location research, and learning everything she could about the field. It wasn’t until years later she would begin field investigating, but this laid the foundation for her knowledge, professionalism, and investigation methodology. Chinelle currently has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and is working on her master’s degree. She also is an ordained minister and is a pediatric social worker. Chinelle also considers herself both an intuitive and precognitive empath, although others have identified mediumship abilities in her. Jessica is one of the founding members of the team, and she is also one of the lead investigators. Jessica has a calming and nurturing presence, and child spirits are drawn to her. Jessica identifies as a sensitive, and she also has empathic qualities.
Rayna joined the Vixens in October 2019, and she is a lead investigator as well. She brings with her a bit of skepticism and an entire network of people in Nashville she knows from her career as a restaurant general manager.
Rachel is one of the newest Vixens, and she joined in October 2022. Even though she is new, her dedication and commitment earned her the title of Lead investigator quickly.
Emily Murphy joined the Vixens in July 2022. She is a good friend of Rayna and had expressed interest in the field and jumped to join the team when the opportunity arose.
Abigail Gwartney is new to the paranormal field, although she has wanted to be a Vixen since the start! Abby has always had an interest in the paranormal field, which started with urban exploring with her dad at a young age. Abby also comes from a long line of witches, and she is spiritually gifted. Abby joined the team in April, 2023.
Janice Landis became a Vixen in September 2020. She was identified as a medium by a well-respected seasoned investigator, and medium himself. Janice reports having to “shut the spirits” off while investigating, since she will have many trying to speak with her at once.
Erica McElroy joined the Vixens on an investigation of The Thomas House Hotel in December 2021, and became a member of the team in July 2022. Erica also is an owner of a haunted attraction located in Silver Point, TN.
