On October 25, renowned ghost hunter and demonologist, John Zaffis, made an appearance at Hurley's. Student Entertainment Services (SES) sponsored the event.
Zaffis has over thirty years of experience and has been featured on shows such as "Unsolved Mysteries," Fox News Live and Discovery Channel's, "A Haunting in Connecticut" and "Little Lost Souls."
Over 100 students filed into Hurley's to listen to a presentation by Zaffis. He spoke about how he got started in the field and talked briefly about his interest in demonology. Other topics discussed included exorcisms and parapsychology in relation to various religious affiliations. At the conclusion of the presentation, students were presented with the opportunity to ask Zaffis questions. There was an immense amount of participating in the crowd and a solid half hour of Q&A.
After the question and answer session, Zaffis led students on a "ghost tour" of the campus and used equipment to detect the presence of spirits. The group went to the Blackbox Theater where Zaffis used his electromagnetic stud detector to scope for spirits. "We were in communication with a spirit that said it was a female theater major," said sophomore psychology major Alice Sorensen. "I was skeptical, but other students were really affected and into it."
Overall, the event was seen as a success, and students gave a lot of positive feedback. Experiences are talked about in Zaffis' book, Shadows of the Dark, and more books are to be expected in the future. For more information about ghost hunter, John Zaffis, check out http://www.johnzaffis.com/.
