Charlie |

Charlie (“Lefty”) was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. a long, long time ago. He has been working in entertainment and tourism as long as he has been here. Charlie has been with Ghosts and Gravestones for 3 years and finds great pleasure in the uncertainty of who he may be asked to “become” on any given day. Charlie has been a student of the supernatural for many, many years, and claims that it is due, in part, to the fact that he is left handed. Add it all up, and he is just not right! |
