Carl Johnson on
"Providence's Native H.P. Lovecraft, 
a voice of Horror"

Date:  Tuesday, October 23, 2018, 7pm
Place: Room S330, East Greenwich
Following the PowerPoint presentation: Q & A, Light Refreshments
 

Who better to speak about Lovecraft’s horror tales than Carl Johnson, one of the first investigators in 1973 of the Perron family in Harrisville, RI -- a story that later became the movie “The Conjuring.”  While researching a 50th anniversary of Lovecraft’s passing, Carl discovered in 1987 that he is cousin to Lovecraft.  Carl started a Commemoration that year that began at Lovecraft’s grave in Swan Point and continues 30 years later every year at the Ladd Observatory.


Since he was a teenager, Johnson has been fascinated with exploring unexplained phenomena. He was a member of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) and appeared on the SyFy Channel series Ghost Hunters, as well as other television programs such as The Haunted, Finding Bigfoot, Paranormal State: The New Class and Most Terrifying Places in America. He is also the author of Shadow Realms: Demonology Handbook (2017). 

Johnson is currently Director and Founder of H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe Commemorative Activities Committee and Senior Interpreter of the Old Slater Mill Association. as well as author and paranormal investigator.

Lovecraft wrote haunting tales of horrific and eerily realistic and fantastic characters, mostly in stories published in pulp magazines.  As Johnson states:   “The very name of H.P. Lovecraft has become synonymous with gripping, supernatural suspense, and his disturbing themes continue to be a major influence on movies, television and horror literature.”

Meet Tim White

The Last Good Heist: the inside story of the biggest single payday in the criminal history of the Northeast
by Tim White, Randall Richard, and Wayne Worcester

On Aug. 14, 1975, eight daring thieves ransacked 148 massive safe-deposit boxes at a secret bank used by organized crime, La Cosa Nostra, and its associates in Providence, R.I. The crooks fled with duffle bags crammed full of cash, gold, silver, stamps, coins, jewels and high-end jewelry. The true value of the loot has always been kept secret, partly because it was ill-gotten to begin with, and partly because there was plenty of incentive to keep its true worth out of the limelight. It's one thing for authorities to admit they didn't find a trace of goods worth from $3 million to $4 million, and entirely another when what was at stake was more accurately valued at about $30 million, the equivalent of $120 million today. It was the biggest single payday in the criminal history of the Northeast. Nobody came close, not the infamous James "Whitey" Bulger, not John "The Dapper Don" Gotti, not even the Brinks or Wells Fargo robbers. The heist was bold enough and big enough to rock the underworld to its core, and it left La Cosa Nostra in the region awash in turmoil that still reverberates more than forty years later. Last Good Heist is the inside story of the robbery and its aftermath. (from Amazon, accessed 2017.01.23)

Tim White

Tim is the recipient of three New England Emmy Awards for investigative reporting. He was honored for a 2010 series of stories probing government waste in Rhode Island. He won his second Emmy for 2012 coverage of Providence’s troubled pension system. A 2014 probe into a lack of accountability at a local fire district led to his third Emmy honor.

Tim’s half-hour documentary on the 1975 Bonded Vault mob heist was also nominated for an Emmy. Tim and the Target 12 investigative team have also received several New England Associated Press Awards, including for their coverage of a drug ring in the Providence Police Department.

New England Ghosts and Good Spirits

Paul Eno & Ben Eno to speak @ NEIT, Hall of Fame Room

[Light refreshments to follow in the Library]

...sinister interest in the paranormal, and why?
What do your own paranormal experiences really mean?

These and other mind-expanding questions will be on the table as Paul & Ben Eno, co-hosts of CBS Radio’s and 1240 AM’s “Behind the Paranormal with Paul & Ben Eno” present famous cases from their combined 55 years of experience, at the East Greenwich campus of the New England Institute of Technology on Thursday, Oct, 29, 7 pm.

Their “What’s Really Behind the Paranormal” program will take listeners through Paul Eno’s first shocking investigations, including the chilling “Village of Voices” case of 1971, the world-famous Bridgeport Poltergeist of 1974 (with Ed & Lorraine Warren), up to the bizarre and ongoing Connecticut paranormal flap that started with ghosts in 2005 and now involves UFOs, the military and a secret base. Other Eno cases from America and Europe will be included.

After the program, there will be a “Meet and Greet” in the New England Tech library.

“Behind the Paranormal with Paul & Ben Eno” is in its eighth season and has been compared in quality with shows on National Public Radio. It aired on CBS Radio in Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Seattle from 2009-2014, and is now heard in a Boston/Providence drive-time edition on Mondays on WOON 1240 AM, streaming live at ONWorldwide.com and in delayed broadcast on Dark Matters Radio. A regular on “Coast to Coast AM” with George Noory and a familiar face on the History and Travel Channels, Paul Eno is the author of six books on the paranormal. He and Ben starred in “The Devil’s Hour,” a Warner Brothers featurette that accompanied the 2013 release of “The Conjuring.”


Brief Biography of Paul Eno and his son, Ben Eno

Noted Author, Radio Personality, Journalist and Paranormal Investigator PAUL ENO will speak and present a powerpoint on his more than 45 years of paranormal investigations.  Paul has had "hair-raising adventures with famous hauntings, along with utterly unique, riveting theories about paranormal and its meaning for our understanding of the world and ourselves."

Paul & Ben Eno are best known as the father-son co-hosts of the CBS Radio and WOON 1240 Boston/Worcester/Providence drive-time show “Behind the Paranormal,” with an estimated 3 million listeners. But with a combined 55 years of experience as paranormal researchers, they are far more than talk-show hosts.

Paul was one of the first paranormal investigators of the early 1970s, beginning while he was studying for the priesthood. His early mentors included parapsychology pioneer Dr. Louisa Rhine, Fr. John J. Nicola S.J. (technical advisor for the film The Exorcist) and legendary, first-generation "ghost hunters" Ed & Lorraine Warren. He graduated from two seminaries, but was expelled from a third because of his paranormal work with less than two years to go before ordination. He ended up as an award-winning New England journalist and the author of five books on the paranormal and two books on history.

Early on, Paul found that many ghost cases, if thoroughly researched, turned into UFO cases. This led to theories and methods involving never-before-suspected connections between ghosts, cryptids and UFOs.

Ben Eno joined his dad’s adventures in 2005 at the age of 13, demonstrating some unique insights and, at 16, becoming the youngest syndicated broadcaster in America. Ben is a sound expert and is a recent graduate of Emerson College in Boston with a degree in audio engineering and sound design. [10/15]

Author Andrea Perron Shared Her Ghostly Story at New England Institute of Technology
 

The New England Institute of Technology Library hosted an evening with author Andrea Perron whose true life story was the basis of the recent suspense film, "The Conjuring".  This movie tells the tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, were contacted to assist the Perron family terrorized by a dark presence in their secluded farmhouse in Harrisville, RI. James Wan, director of such movies as "Saw" and "Dead Silence", brought the Perron family's experience to the big screen.

Before Amityville there was Harrisville

One hundred-twenty five people from the school and general public attended the presentation held at New England Tech on Thursday, October 24, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. in the Media Presentation Theater at the college's East Greenwich campus.  Perron discussed her family's experience living in the Harrisville home for ten years during the 1970's, as well as her thoughts on the paranormal, the making of the Conjuring, and publication of her books.

Perron previously has written two books on the hauntings entitled, "House of Darkness House of Light" , Volume One and Two, with a third sequel scheduled to be released in Spring 2014.
 
While some folks enjoyed refreshments in the foyer, most of the audience stood in line to wait for Perron, who sold and signed many copies of her books.  The event was aired that night and the next morning on WJAR, channel 10.  (http://www.turnto10.com/story/23788875/the-conjuring-author-says-technology-will-prove-presence-of-ghosts).
