Never will you realize the incredible talent and fun this pair of internationally paranormal investigators from the Land of Down Under until you have an opportunity to experience them! Take that experience into one of the most haunted cities in America, and you will be Frightfully Good for a long time!
The Australian team mates of Frightfully Good, Renata Daniel and Anne Rzechowicz, have created a delightful troupe that shares one incredible mission. They magically came together to share their knowledge and experience of the supernatural world AND have fun while doing it!
Together, Anne and Renata established the Frightfully Good School Of Ghost Hunting (offering workshops and conferences), Frightfully Good – Paranormal Spiritual Community (a weekly podcasts on various spooky topics AND spooky weekends away). They also originated the Seance Parlour, True Hauntings, Spooky Sundays Podcast and the brand new Diary of A Ghost Hunter (brand new!).
Catch them on YouTube, where you can watch their popular True Hauntings Companion series, Ghost Hunters React, Anne and Renata’s Miss-Adventures, free workshops, and Devil’s Advocate on Isaac Butterfields channel!
This experience in NOLA is up their alley, for they have traveled the world to apply their craft and skill! They have had paranormal experiences at some of the most notorious haunted locations, including Bran Castle Romania, The Blackfriar Poltergeist in Pontefract England, Ancient Ram Inn England, Chillingham Castle, Jamaica Inn, Skirrid Inn, Leap Castle Ireland, Loftus Hall Ireland, Bird Cage Theatre USA, Stanley Hotel USA and many many more.
Together, Anne and Renata, as Frightfully Good passionately say, there are so many ‘serious faced’ investigators out there!

Renata Daniel
Renata began her interactions with the paranormal early on, experiencing strange phenomena which were always dismissed as symptoms of being a very sickly child. Her desire to know more would never leave her, she absorbed everything that she could in her teen years and took up reading the Tarot in her late 20’s becoming a professional reader.
She became interested in local ghost hunts after her children were grown up and she had spent many years in different jobs as most people do.
She took a leap of faith to follow her passions in 2009 and as part of a business she part owned she started her own ghost tours in Newcastle, Australia. Newcastle Ghost Tours has been operating for 12 years, winning local small business and tourism awards along the way.
Renata continues the ghost tours, teaches at The Australian School of Ghost Hunting, is a podcaster at True Hauntings Podcast, a weekly contributor to the Paranormal United Network and is a workshop provider in Psychic Development and Tarot.
Renata is a trained Personal Counsellor, Spiritual Guidance Coach, Meditation Instructor, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Photographer, blogger and writer having published a book of local ghost stories in 2006. She also assists in personal cases of hauntings.
Anne Rzechowicz
Anne has been a paranormal investigator for 11 years, but an enthusiast all her life. She owns Australia’s largest online paranormal equipment store, Oz Para Tech. Her favorite thing to study is the Victorian age of Spiritualism and particular loves the art of the séance, being an adept Table Tipper/Tilter.Anne’s Paranormal studies include courses with University of Edinburgh, The Rhine Institute, The School of Parapsychology, Centre of Excellence, to name a few.
Anne hopes to bring less fear and more knowledge to those interested in the paranormal/spiritual/occult field as many popular TV shows have created an unrealistic view of what the paranormal actually is. She is also an actor and we’ll know for her work on Deadly Women.
