The Connecticut Witch Trials

Welcome to Connecticut Ghost Hunter. My name is Barry Pirro. I have been studying and investigating the paranormal for more than fifteen years, and I've been a consultant for a number of paranormal TV shows including 'Ghost Adventures' and 'Paranormal Survivor'. My case file "The Haunted Firehouse" will be featured on the Travel Channel's 'Ghost Nation' in 2020.
I investigate reports of hauntings, poltergeists, residual energy and all forms of paranormal and supernatural phenomena and provide professional, private investigations to anyone who is experiencing paranormal activity in their home or workplace. My goal as a paranormal investigator (ghost hunter) is to help clients understand the phenomenon, share evidence that either supports or disputes claims of paranormal activity, and to try to help remedy the situation. I am very sensitive to paranormal activity and rely not only on scientific instruments, but on my inner intuition to pinpoint areas of activity. If your house is haunted ... I will know it.
My paranormal investigations run the gamut from ghostly sightings to spirits who make themselves known in terrifying ways. On my Case Files and True Ghost Stories pages you will read about:

- The Enfield Demon -- A woman and her daughter are terrorized by a demonic force that did everything from materializing in front of her to making her belongings vanish, never to be seen again. I was the only person able to successfully rid the home of this demon, and I did it simply with the power of prayer. Read the full story here.
