James Annitto is a Deacon and a Demonologist who has worked alongside many other specialists in this field. James is a paranormal investigator/researcher and member of Sanctuary Paranormal and the former founder/owner of The Dominion Ministry. He has been in the paranormal field since the age of 15, investigating graveyards and legendary locations in the New England area such as Mercy Brown, Ladd School, USS Salem, and Slater Mill. His knowledge of the paranormal came from years of research which increased his interest of the paranormal. His first ever experience came when his aunt showed 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. As a teenager he found it difficult to join research teams so he travelled to graveyards alone with his camera and a flashlight until he formed his own group years later called Ghost Hunters of Supernatural Truth (GHOST). James gained much experience with GHOST by assisting families, their homes and other haunted locations. Over the last 15 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 television shows. James has given scores of lectures at libraries and expos. James began a new chapter 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 at his own expense. Although he has over 400 investigations under his belt, he prides himself as being equal to his peers and always makes himself available to those who require his assistance. If he is unable help James will direct them to someone with the proper abilities to get the job done. In 2015 James created The Dominion Ministry to change the landscape of spiritual warfare by bringing spiritual warriors together. In early 2017, James stepped down from The Dominion Ministry to make time for his family and continue his studies in the paranormal as well as becoming a seminarian and eventually an ordained Deacon. Currently, James works alongside Carl Johnson in the research/lecture group “Duo Daaemonologie.”
