Elizabeth Saint has an extraordinary story.  Upon graduating from high school, she signed a high fashion modeling contract in New York City.  Feeling unfulfilled, she left that world behind to earn a college degree in electrical engineering and accepted a position with the United States Department of Defense.  Throughout her life, she felt a calling and sensitivity to paranormal phenomenon.  This led her to joining a paranormal investigative team, which later led her to prominent roles on the television programs “Ghosts of Shepherdstown” and “Paranormal Lockdown”.  Her entrepreneurial spirit guided her to become the founder and CEO of the streaming platform/channel VIDI SPACE.  A conversation with Elizabeth Saint on this episode of THE NECRONOMICAST!
