Erin Potter, like many kids growing up, had an imaginary friend.
She said they had a game where he would take her doll clothes or toys and hide them, and then she and her sister would find them.
Then Potter had a thought: Imaginary friends can't move things.
It was then that the Aliso Viejo resident "realized what a ghost was."
In June 2010, Potter and friends Kirsten Thorne and Marsha Covert-Garcia started Paranormal Housewives in an effort to further their interest and education in paranormal investigations, the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot reported.
The women started the all-female group as a response to the male-dominated groups they encountered.
Potter would try to join other investigative groups, but she said the mostly male groups would plan trips spontaneously, which was difficult for her with two kids and a husband.
"We were tired of the drama," Potter said with a laugh.
In their group, organizing investigations around family's schedules is the norm, with most of the wives having at least one child.
Their gender may actually help in investigations, Covert-Garcia said, because they're sensitive and want to respect the dead.
