ABOUT AFTER TWILIGHT RADIO

Dianna Avena

Dianna Avena has had a life-long interest in the paranormal. She grew up an Air Force brat, so has lived all over the US and overseas. When Dianna was 5, her mother experienced a near-death experience during a routine surgery and relayed her detailed experience to her young daughter. As a result, there was never a time in Dianna's life that she ever doubted that there was more to what we see here in our black-and-white existence on earth.

In the fall of 2000, she attended the Roswell Ghost Tour in her current hometown of 19 years, Roswell, GA. She was intrigued by the paranormal phenomena occurring in this very historic area, and fully embraced her curiosity of all things paranormal at this time. She attended the tour many more times after that and became the main tour guide shortly thereafter. She and her husband, Joe Avena, purchased the tour in the fall of 2005 and have made Roswell Ghost Tour very successful, garnering national attention since then. Paranormal investigators, who all have a love of Roswell's history and have a respect for paranormal research and its integrity, lead the tour.

Early in 2007, The History Press asked Dianna to write a book about Roswell's hauntings and that book was released in October of 2007. It is entitled Roswell: History, Haunts and Legends. In the fall of 2007, Dianna realized the best way to reach her goal of making her impact on furthering the general knowledge in paranormal research was to found and direct her own paranormal team. Therefore, she co-founded Roswell Georgia Paranormal Investigations with her husband Joe.

Dianna continues to live in Roswell with her husband and three sons, where she has been an actress/model/body- and stunt-double in the film/TV and print Industries for 16 years. Her other hobbies include scuba diving, belly dancing and independent filmmaking.
