Ari Spence!

Who is Ari Spence?

A lawyer-to-be gone rogue, Ari has taken a unique path into paranormal research—presenting at places like the Liberty Science Center, The Paranormal Research Symposium in Gettysburg, West Virginia Penitentiary Horror-Paracon, and The Haunted Shanley Hotel.Their work has been featured in The Paranormal Research Journal and Haunted Travels Anthology: Volume 1, and they’ve appeared on podcasts including The Spooky Doings Podcast, Paranormally Yours, and Inquiries into Our Reality.

What makes Ari’s approach different?

Ari explores the concept of “Legally Haunted”—a philosophy rooted in the historic Stambovsky v. Ackley case. This case ruled that a house could be considered haunted “as a matter of law” due to its reputation alone.

Meaning… whether ghosts are real or not, their stories and cultural impact make them real within our reality.Ari combines this legal framework with a background in psychology to analyze cases of alleged demonic possession in a completely unique way. This is one conversation you do NOT want to miss!
