“You often have to work out what is coming from the house and what is coming from the people that are living in it,” says Lucinda Clare, actress, writer, and psychic. Coming from a long line of mediums and spiritualists, Lucinda first discovered her psychic abilities when she was eight years old. Although predominantly an actress and writer, Lucinda uses her otherworldly talents to help homeowners clear the ghostly presences disturbing their homes.
To Lucinda, ghosts were not beings she was raised to fear. She recalls that her relatives even knew a ghost woman inside their castle that was so lovely, they would raise their glasses to her. It wasn’t until she moved to Hollywood that Lucinda realized many people view ghosts as evil entities. However, she recognizes that the supernatural strongly influences our spaces and that not all of it is positive. Lucinda now fulfills a service that many people need but may not advertise: de-ghosting homes.

Quotes
• “I was actually brought up to not be afraid of ghosts; they were seen as friendly things. And then you get to Hollywood, or you see all those movies and you go, oh, so ghosts are bad things. And then you go into houses and feel the presence of somebody who's died there.” (5:06-5:24)
• “When you go into a house to help, if someone can't sell it or they’re thinking of buying it but it feels kind of creepy or one of these sorts of issues, you often have to work out what is coming from the house and what is coming from the people that are living in it.” (10:07-10:24)
• “There's this energy, like the people around you, like the air is thick with it and maybe I'm just out there, but you can't deny that in LA there is like a heartache mixed with a love story. It's just a strange city.” (25:55-26:18)
• “I think there's just such extra energy, even if it’s not a ghost. There's just energy that, sometimes I'm like, am I haunting myself?” (30:14-30:23)
• “We've relegated living people to ghosts and zombies. That is a crime in itself.” (34:50-34:58)
