Today’s episode is a special one—and 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, passed away unexpectedly on July 13, 2025, during the Gettysburg tour of the infamous Annabelle doll—an event he helped organize and lead with passion, humor, and 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.
