John Orrichio: Director/Producer and Creator

John Orrichio has been making movies since the age of ten. John has six feature films in worldwide distribution. His last two films “Abduction” and “Dreams of the Dead” are featured on cable television. He wrote, directed, edited and composed most of the music for each film. John started a film production company “John Orrichio Films” in 2004 which specializes in films about the paranormal. John won an award for best director from JCT TV in Connecticut for his film “Black Ribbon” which dealt with the supernatural. John brings his experience to “Ghost Chicks” treating each episode as a mini film— with a beginning, a middle and an end. This adds a unique edge and gives resolution to each episode compared to other ghost hunting shows.

Coleen Trimmer: AV Tech Advisor, Production Assistant, Research Historian and assistant to Mr. Orrichio

Coleen Trimmer is an expert in EVP's and sound recording. She is our mechanical expert in both video and sound. Any questions, she has the answer! She can be found on location working the boom microphone or wiring up the Ghost Chicks with wireless mics. We're lucky to have her! Coleen also goes over all audio and video data collected during an investigation. This can take several days as we use many digital recorders and sometimes over 12 hours of footage from several inferred cameras. She will help go over any photos taken that have suspected to contain anything Paranormal.
