Ed and Lorraine Warren were well-known paranormal investigators and pioneers in the paranormal research field. Most people in the paranormal field will referrer to them as the true pioneers of the paranormal. Ed & Lorraine dedicated their lives to investigating paranormal activity and helping people, founding the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR) in 1952, the oldest Paranormal Research group in New England.
Some of their fame was known for their involvement in high-profile hauntings and supernatural cases Like The Amityville Horror, The Perron Family Haunting in 1971 (The basis for the Conjuring Movie in 2013), The Annabelle Doll, The Enfield Poltergeist in 1977 (The basis for the Conjuring 2 Movie in 2016) and many more. They also authored many well-known books about their lives and cases.
For a lot of people in the paranormal field, Ed & Lorraine were a major influence in their journey and decision to enter the field. Even though I had never worked with them, I have been very blessed and honored to be part of carrying on their legacy of helping people by working with people directly related to them and amazing people who were students of The Warrens for decades.
The Warren Society for Paranormal Research and Education
The Warren Society for Paranormal Research and Education was founded by Joe Franke who was an original student of Ed & Lorraine and worked with them for decades. I am the CTO and a Director that helps run this amazing society to help carry on their legacy and Legend. The Warren Society is a group of some of the top researchers, investigators and Educators in the paranormal field working together to help people around the world who are possibly experiencing paranormal activity. The Warren Society prides themselves on providing the most accurate and professional help by combining the amazing education, experience, and abilities of its members, in order to help with a true solution to their cases no matter if they are paranormal or not. Their goal is to find help for these families.
The other main goal of The Warren Society is to help educate the public and future researchers about the paranormal. Teaching them what is real and what is just for TV, how to properly conduct an investigation, how to use science to help on an investigation, and how to truly help people whether it is paranormal or something else.
Joe franke and I have becoming great friends and travel around lecturing to audiences all over the country at Conventions, Paracons, Libraries, schools, and other public events about the paranormal and The Warrens.
The Warren Legacy Foundation for Paranormal Research
The Warren Legacy Foundation for Paranormal Research was established in 2014 by Lorraine Warren in collaboration with her grandson, Chris McKinnell. I was honored to have been chosen by Chris to be one of the managers that helped run the foundation along with being the director of the entire US East Coast. I was part of the foundation for just over 3 years. I decided to leave the foundation in January of 2025 and since then I have now become part of the Warren Society in order to continue to carry on the Warren legacy.
