Meet The Team

Tammila K. Wright

Executive Producer/Historical Researcher/Co-founder

Mrs. Wright has a  lab rat intensity for this project. As a Manitou Springs Historic Preservation Commissioner, Tammila’s crusade is in preserving historic locations.  Her continued efforts result in heightened awareness, crucial to the revitalization of these venerable sites.

     "Quantum Physics technology holds the very key to explaining paranormal activity in historic locations," she lectures. "Imagine meeting a "past-on resident" and learning the historic site maybe demolished or just plain forgotten. The "walking history" is still there and we are determined to honor it."

     Mrs. Wright is best known for establishing the historic & paranormal division for The Briarhurst Manor in Manitou Springs, Colorado (www.hauntedbriarhurst.com).  She has appeared on SyFy’s Ghost Hunters,“Haunted Rocky Mountains”  Oct.28^th,2009, Ghost Hunters “Live” Halloween Show 2008, (Pilgrim Film & TV), Haunted History “Haunted Rockies” episode as the ghost of Emma Crawford (Greystone Productions), and “People of the Bison” as White Buffalo Calf Women (TaurusProductions).                

     Locally, for the past 18 years, Tammila has reprised her role as Emma Crawford for “The Historic Ghost Walk” Haunted History tours presented by the Manitou Springs Heritage Center. Tammila and her husband, Erick of 22 years, make up the best known married paranormal team in America……and maybe beyond!

Sharon Seymour 

Historical Researcher 

     Ms. Seymour has a passion for history and for researching and investigating the paranormal. The experience of owning and operating her own international and local Aviation and Real Estate businesses for over 17 years, has awarded her with the opportunity of travel and meeting so many incredible people who have taught her so much about life…and what lies beyond.

     She is a true believer in all things paranormal and has found that combining the strongest elements of both science and intuition, has proven to be very successful.  The Paranormal draws you in, skeptics and believers alike – both trying to find the answer, sometimes when there is no tangible answer to find. She has always believed that our life does not end when we die, but there is another “dimension” or “place” where we can still “see”, and sometimes interact with those we have left behind.

     Ms. Seymour takes great pride in having respect for the "passed on".  When you show them respect and human kindness, you are repaid the same. 

“I feel that everyone has a story whether they are alive or dead… There is a reason why they are still there…Are they there because they lost something or someone?  Or perhaps  they just don’t know that they are gone.” 

     Ms. Seymour was born and raised in Durban, South Africa and is blessed to be living in the gorgeous Colorado Rocky Mountains with her 3 children.   

“I am proud to be a part of “Haunted Dimensions”.  I am here to help, here to learn, and here to hopefully make a difference.”

Erick T. Wright

Executive Producer/ Historical Researcher/Co-founder/Tech.Advisor

     Mr. Wright is passionate about history and documenting the paranormal. He sees absolutely no reason why "history" shouldn't still be walking around. Yes, his intensity suggests he might have spent a little too much time in a library. But this has been the result of trying to solve the identity of the very "walking history" that has come across his path. Erick has been a paranormal investigator for the past 26 years and is best known for his "earth shattering" discoveries to our local history scene in relation to the founding father of Manitou Spring's, Dr. William A. Bell. He is also given credit with creating the historic & paranormal division of The Briarhurst Manor with his wife, Tammila.
