Lynda Quirino has been in the paranormal field for 40 years, and has experienced unexplained phenomena all of her life. At 18 years of age, she began to investigate the paranormal while in college in her hometown of Montreal, and continued to research and investigate on her own until relocating to the Toronto area in 1986. From 1986 to 1996, she continued to work primarily on her own, investigating local hauntings and paranormal issues until, in 1997, she became the Assistant Director of the Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society. Lynda left the TGHRS in 2003, and once again worked “freelance” in the field, concentrating on investigating and researching local cases. After giving a presentation on ghosts and hauntings at the local library in Georgina, Ontario, the town where she now resides, Lynda realized that the need for a paranormal team was very much needed. In 2012, she founded The Georgina Paranormal Society. Currently, Lynda is the Executive Director of the Georgina Paranormal Society, and appears on the television show “Paranormal Survivor” as one of its paranormal “Experts”. She has appeared on many paranormal podcasts, radio, and local television shows, currently hosting a weekly cable lifestyle show (“Georgina Life”) in her now hometown of Georgina, Ontario, Canada. Lynda also lectures and gives presentations on the paranormal for various organizations throughout Canada.
