Summary
Darkness Radio Presents: State of the State With The Elder Statesman of the Paranormal, John Zaffis!
We continue our 20th Anniversary month (and year), by bringing on our second ever guest to the program! John Zaffis is a world renowned Demonologist, Exorcist, and Paranormal investigator with over 50 years experience in the field. Having been trained by Two of the best in this field, his Uncle and Aunt, Ed and Lorraine Warren, John has branched out and become a powerhouse worthy of the title, "The Godfather of the Paranormal"!
In Later years, John has had different pursuits, transferring his skills to loves like lecturing, authoring many wonderful books, and appearing on and starring on his own successful TV show, "Haunted Collector"!
On today's Darkness Radio, we catch up with John to talk about some of the good old times from these past 20 years, about friends made and lost. We also talk about his famous family and get some great stories about the Warrens! And, John even talks about the current state of the paranormal, and what he think Ed might have thought about the new Conjuring movie, and whether, in his opinion, Annabelle should be traveling at all!
