About this Event
John Zaffis, often referred to as the "Godfather of the Paranormal," has dedicated over five decades to the study and investigation of paranormal phenomena. Zaffis's interest in the field began in his youth, largely influenced by his aunt and uncle, the renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Growing up under their mentorship, he gained invaluable insights and firsthand experience. The Warrens, famous for their investigations of high-profile cases such as the Amityville Horror and the Perron family haunting (which inspired The Conjuring series), provided a foundational knowledge that propelled Zaffis into his career. Additionally, John has worked with prominent exorcists Bishop Robert McKenna, Father Malachi Martin, and the Reverend Jun, along with other Roman Catholic priests, monks, Buddhists, rabbis, and ministers. He has also worked extensively with spiritualists and psychics to deepen his understanding.
John has appeared on numerous television shows and documentaries (Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, A Haunting in Connecticut, and more), sharing his expertise and recounting his experiences in the paranormal realm. He is perhaps best known for his own series, Haunted Collector, which aired on the Syfy channel from 2011 to 2013. The show followed Zaffis and his team as they investigated haunted locations and removed objects believed to harbor supernatural energy. Through the series, John educated viewers on the significance of these objects and their potential impact on the living.
