Paranormal Investigator Known for Work with New England Psychic Research Group Dies Suddenly

It is with deep sadness and a sense of profound loss that the paranormal and psychic research communities mourn the sudden passing of Ethan Mallory, a respected and seasoned paranormal investigator who dedicated his life to exploring the unknown. Ethan, who was in his early 50s, died unexpectedly over the weekend, leaving behind a legacy of curiosity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to uncovering truths that often lie beyond the veil of the ordinary.

Ethan was a prominent member of the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), an organization with roots dating back to the early days of American paranormal inquiry. NESPR, made famous by its ties to the late Ed and Lorraine Warren, welcomed Ethan into its ranks more than two decades ago. With a deep sense of reverence for those who came before him and a strong belief in ethical investigation, Ethan quickly became one of the group’s most trusted and recognized field researchers.

Over the years, Ethan investigated hundreds of cases involving reported hauntings, poltergeist activity, and psychic disturbances throughout New England and beyond. He became known for his calm demeanor during intense investigations, as well as his thoughtful and grounded approach to cases that often involved emotionally distressed families, historical trauma, and phenomena that defied scientific explanation.

Though he remained skeptical and science-minded in his methodology, Ethan was also open to spiritual dimensions and worked closely with mediums, psychics, and clergy to offer comfort and clarity to those plagued by unexplained occurrences. He was a frequent guest speaker at conventions, colleges, and local community events, where he spoke passionately about topics ranging from EVP (electronic voice phenomena) and residual hauntings to the ethics of psychic investigation.

Beyond his fieldwork, Ethan authored several well-received books, including Whispers in the Attic: The Truth About Haunted New England and Echoes Beyond the Grave, which offered both compelling case files and critical insight into the psychology and sociology of paranormal experiences. His books were praised not only for their detailed accounts but also for their respect toward the families involved and their thoughtful consideration of skeptical perspectives.

Those who knew Ethan personally describe him as deeply compassionate, intellectually curious, and humble in spite of his growing fame in paranormal circles. He was often the first to arrive and the last to leave an investigation site, meticulously documenting every sound, fluctuation, and anomaly. He was also known to spend hours debriefing families, offering them emotional support regardless of the outcome of the investigation.

His sudden death came as a shock to colleagues and fans alike. As of now, no cause of death has been officially released, but those close to him say he was in good health and had been planning a new documentary series based on some of his most chilling cases in rural Vermont and New Hampshire. The series, titled Spectral Lines, was set to begin filming in the fall and had already generated interest among streaming platforms.

Tributes have poured in from around the world—from fellow investigators, psychics, skeptics, academics, and countless individuals whose lives were touched by Ethan’s work. “Ethan was a beacon in this strange and often misunderstood world of paranormal research,” said Dr. Alison Wynter, a parapsychologist and longtime collaborator. “He brought integrity, heart, and a voice of reason to a field that desperately needs all three.”

A public memorial is being planned in his hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts, where friends, family, and members of the NESPR will gather to honor his life and legacy. There are also discussions about creating a fellowship fund in his name to support aspiring paranormal researchers committed to ethical and evidence-based investigation.

Ethan Mallory’s death leaves behind not only a gap in the paranormal field but also in the lives of those who found comfort in his presence and inspiration in his passion. As he often said during his investigations, “We’re not here to prove anything. We’re here to listen—to the people, to the spaces, and sometimes… to the silence.”

May he rest in peace—and perhaps, continue his search for truth beyond this world.
