Danielle Aykroyd, also known by her stage name Vera Sola, is a singer-songwriter, poet, and multi-instrumentalist. She is the daughter of the actor and comedian Dan Aykroyd who came from a long line of spiritualists. His family was heavily involved in the movement and the movie Ghostbusters was actually based on the experiences of his great grandfather.
His great-grandfather, Samuel Augustus Aykroyd, was a dentist and an avid spiritualist who held séances at the family home in Ontario, Canada. He was deeply interested in communicating with spirits, which was a popular practice during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Samuel Aykroyd even kept detailed journals documenting his experiences and beliefs.
