Retired US Army officer and Special Operations enlisted soldier, turned paranormal investigator and psychic medium, Laurissa Rex, will share the history of a significant site in Lehighton, Pennsylvania - the Waldorf Estate, a former farm, dating back to the 1800s with land from the 1700s. Situated amidst water and anthracite coal mines, the Waldorf Estate is a hotspot for paranormal activity, drawing various forms of hauntings (i.e. including intelligent, residual, mimics, egregore/tulpa/thoughtforms, poltergeist, shadow people, elementals, and portals).
Following investigations by Rex’s paranormal team into reported supernatural events, the hotel earned a reputation for its diverse hauntings and spurred a new TV series titled "24 Hours in Hell: A Paranormal Journey Through Hell House." The series, featuring Santiago Cirilo from The Walking Dead, David Childers from Travel Channel and A&E, and Rex, is scheduled to premiere on major networks and streaming platforms in 2025.
Join us on Wednesday, October 23 at 6:30PM as Rex discusses the TV series, the research behind it and her upcoming book.
