Today on the Grave Talks, we share a very special classic episode, and it's one that we share with heavy hearts.

Just days ago, the paranormal community lost one of its most respected voices, Dan Rivera, lead investigator with the New England Society for Psychic Research and a U.S. Army veteran.

He passed away unexpectedly on July 13, 2025 during the Gettysburg tour of the infamous Annabelle

Dahl, an event he helped organize and lead with passion and an unwavering dedication.

Dan was more than just a guide through haunted history.

He was a bridge between skepticism and belief,

always focused on protecting others while exploring the unknown.

Mentored by the legendary Lorraine Warren,

Dan carried her wisdom with him, reminding guests to surround

themselves in white light and never forget to laugh even in the presence of fear. In his honor,

we're replaying one of our favorite episodes featuring Dan Rivera. May his voice and spirit

continue to guide us.

Today on the Grave Talks, A Dark World in the house where Dan Rivera grew up,

he knew from a very young age that spirits are real,

that spirits have power, also that the living have power to interact and influence the direction

of both good and evil spirits. As Dan grew older, he knew he wanted to use his knowledge

and gifts to help those afflicted by the spirits, and has done so by

following in the steps of Ed and Lorraine Warren as lead investigator of the New England

Society for Paranormal Research. Today we discuss demons, possessions, and the state of the world

and the seemingly dark path that we've been on in how to protect ourselves from falling victim to the demonic.

It started when I was about maybe six years old.

I mean, living in the house in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
