Backstory:

Anthony Kelly was born and raised in South Boston after his parents and grandparents fled sectarian

violence in their home of Belfast, Northern Ireland. They were not a well off family, but Tony’s father worked hard to provide for his wife and three sons.

A shy, quiet child; Tony spent a lot of time with his brothers listening to their grandfather Cillian tell

them stories from the homeland. Whilst his brothers were mostly interested in the stories of Irish heroes like Cú Chulainn and Finn McCool, Tony was fascinated by the stories of ghosts and demons. He eagerly listened to every story his grandfather told and read every book of ghost stories he could get his hands on.

The defining moment of Tony’s life occurred when he saw a ghost at age 10. Walking through an

abandoned asylum he had been dared to enter by his brothers, he heard a voice pleading for help.

Thinking someone had become trapped while exploring the building, Tony rushed to help, but was

instead greeted by the spirit of an elderly woman hanging from a noose, wailing to be let down.

Terrified, Tony ran from the asylum, never stopping until he reached his home.

No one believed what Tony had seen, except his grandfather. He told Tony that he himself had seen

spirits back in Ireland and that he and Tony shared a gift, the ability to see beings from the Otherside.

Obsessed with what he had seen, Tony studied everything he could about the paranormal. Despite the

taunts of others and his parents wishes for him to enter the priesthood, Tony graduated high school and attended the newly established Boston College where he earned a degree in Paranormal Science.

Soon after graduating, Tony began hearing rumours of strange happenings out West. With his head full on knowledge and his bags full of textbooks, he left his family and headed West to start his career as a Paranormal Investigator….
