Episode 27: James Annitto - Demonologist and Founder of Dominion Ministries

James Annitto is a Deacon of the United States Old Catholic Church and is a Demonologist who has worked alongside many other specialists in this field. James is also a paranormal investigator/researcher of Paranormal Phenomena Research & Investigation (PPRI), Sanctuary Paranormal, and the founder/owner of The Dominion Ministry. He has been in the paranormal field since the early age of 15, investigating graveyards and legendary surroundings in the New England area such as Mercy Brown, Ladd School, USS Salem, and Slater Mill. His knowledge of the paranormal came from reading many books in his early years. Watching Unsolved Mysteries, Scariest Places on Earth and then, eventually, Ghost Hunters increased his interest and knowledge of the field. His first ever experience came when his aunt showing him a ghostly figure peeking out of a window during one of their vacations. With this experience James came to love the paranormal and knew that he wanted to be a part of this field when he got older. Being a teenager of 15, it was difficult for him to become part of a research group let alone start his own, so he travelled to graveyards with his camera and a flashlight until he was able to form his own group years later called Ghost Hunters of Supernatural Truth (G.H.O.S.T.). G.H.O.S.T. consisted of Andre Correia formerly of R.I.P.S who appeared on “The Haunted” episode “Demon Attack,” and other members from different areas of the paranormal field with experience levels of none to a few years. James gained a lot of experience running the team and calling clients/business/homeowners. After being in the field for the last 16 years, James has gained a great deal of experience from working with many well respected members of the paranormal field. He has appeared on many radio and local television shows. He has also given scores of lectures at libraries and expos. James began a new level of his paranormal life when he began his studies in demonology and the ministry. Dedicating himself to helping others in the field and those who are in need of a cleansing or blessing, he travels anywhere he is needed free of charge. Even though he has hundreds of cases under his belt, he never makes himself to appear as if he is better than his peers in the field or unavailable to someone who requires his assistance. If for some reason he is unable to help, he always passes the case along to another in the field with equal or more experience than himself. James in March 2015 created The Dominion Ministry to change the landscape of the spiritual warfare field, bringing many spiritual warriors together. In early 2017, James stepped down from The Dominion Ministry to make time for his family, continued studies in the paranormal and as well becoming a seminarian and then eventually ordained as a Deacon. James also worked alongside Carl Johnson in the research/lecture group Duo Daemonologie which started lecturing in 2019 and ended in 2022. Also, in 2022 James started working with Criminologist Laura Brand, expert on The Toolbox Killers on the project ‘True Evil’; A Podcast and Lecture Series while also retaking over ownership and leadership of The Dominion Ministry.
