“My father doesn’t believe in demons…he says spirits are beings of light” she told me matter-of-factly. One of them happens to be the subject of demons. Alexandra makes it clear that she and her father do not see eye to eye on a number of issues. However, it would be wrong to believe that she is just some chip off the old block. She instantly communicates a sincere interest in spirit investigation. The Countess lives on Long Island and often shows her art work in The Hamptons.Īfter reading almost all of her father’s books, I was thrilled to speak with Alexandra over the phone. Catherine helped research many of the topics for his books and added her own intuitive, imaginative and inspired artwork to those projects. Born at Castle Rovina in Merano, Italy, she grew up and eventually married Hans Holzer. He received his Ph.D from the London College of Applied Science and has made appearances on popular television programs such as In Search Of and Murder in Amityville.Ĭountess Catherine Buxhoeveden, also known as The Haunted Countess, is a direct descendent of Catherine The Great of Russia. The author of over one hundred and forty-five books and novels, Hans wrote Ghost Hunter in 1963 and established the methodology that many within the field of paranormal investigation use today.
Hans Holzer is generally considered to be the father of modern spirit investigation. To understand Alexandra, you really have to know a bit about her parents, so we’ll begin there. She explained some of the funny, offbeat and frightening moments of her youth in Growing Up Haunted: A Ghostly Memoir (Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 2008). One of two sisters, she is the youngest born to Ghost Hunter Hans Holzer and Countess Catherine Buxhoeveden. Alexandra Holzer had anything but a normal childhood.
