Paranormal Investigator Dies During Gettysburg Tour

Dan Rivera, 54, a paranormal investigator known for his work with the haunted Annabelle doll, died suddenly while on a tour stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Rivera was in town for his “Devils on the Run” tour, which featured the doll and included events hosted by Ghostly Images of Gettysburg Tours at the Soldiers National Orphanage. The event was sold out for all three days, from Friday through Sunday.

According to Adams County dispatch logs, emergency responders were called to Rivera’s hotel Sunday night for a CPR-in-progress report involving a man matching his age. His death was later confirmed by the New England Society for Psychic Research, where Rivera served as lead investigator.

The cause of death has not been released.
