SPEAKER
John Zaffis has over forty years of experience studying and investigating the paranormal. John is the star of Haunted Collector on SyFy. He's often referred to as "The Godfather of the Paranormal"
He has had the opportunity to work for and with his aunt and uncle, Ed and Lorraine Warren (The Conjuring movies). This sent John beyond looking for ghosts and hauntings and into studying demonology under the Warrens. This led into John's involvement with cases of possession and exorcism, which gave him the opportunity to work with prominent exorcists in this field, including Roman Catholic priests, monks, Buddhists, rabbis and ministers.
Over the years, John has collected many hundreds of possessed items either given to or sent to him by people wishing to be rid of them. The John Zaffis Paranormal Museum opened in 2004 in order to display these items, and continues to be open today.John's book Haunted by the things you love co-written with Rosemary Ellen Guiley was released in August, 2014. John wrote and starred in the documentary film Museum of the Paranormal, released in 2010, which gives the viewer a tour of his museum and the stories behind some of the objects.
