“I’m fascinated with the supernatural,” says Sal Cicconi, 27.
Cicconi, along with Sergio Ocasio, 20, and Samantha Ramirez, 18, have plastered Brooklyn offering their services for just $20 an hour.
Their business plan is a bit unorthodox, but then again, so are they.
“When I was a kid, I had this ability, this gift,” Cicconi said in an interview in the trio’s East New York apartment. “When I was 10 years old, I started to see things — spirits and ghosts.”
The three, who call themselves Brooklyn Ghost Investigations, are otherwise unemployed.
Their only client is a Red Hook man who said he had two ghosts in his apartment.
