Paranormal Researcher To Share ‘Ghostly Encounters’ In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — Wallingford’s Joe Franke, an original student of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, has been carrying on the work of his mentors for more than 40 years.

Franke will be sharing stories from his paranormal investigations in his “Ghostly Encounters” talk at Lyman Hall High School on Saturday, Oct. 24. The event, presented by the Wallingford Adult Education Department, will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Franke has said that he was first introduced to this line of work on a fateful night in 1986 when he met the Warrens at one of their lectures at the Holiday Inn in North Haven.

“Now, some 40 years on, I am the founder and CEO of the Warren Society for Paranormal Research and Education, an organization dedicated to continuing the life's work and legacy of my beloved mentors,” Franke said.

Since his last event in Wallingford two years ago, Franke said he’s been doing a “lot of traveling around the country, lecturing and appearing at large comic cons educating the public and the next generation of investigators on what I have learned over the last 40 years.”

“I’ve got a few new cases I’m going to be discussing along with some of the recent movies that have come out over the last two years,” Franke said.

Tickets for the event are $20 per person or $60 for a family of four.
