Michelle Belanger is an author, singer and psychic vampire who gained notoriety as a cast member of A&E’s paranormal investigation show Paranormal State. The show was cancelled after five seasons, and suffered from controversy that it was faked. 

She’s also an advocate for polyamory lifestyles and BDSM, a fetish model and dream walker, meaning she "can enter the dreams of others and absorb energy". Does that conjure images of Freddy Krueger for anyone else?
