Laurissa Rex, the CEO of Third Eye Event Productions, LLC, is also the founder of The Haunted Mafia, a team dedicated to paranormal research. With a background as a retired US Army Officer and Special Operations Soldier, she leverages her leadership skills to manage various paranormal projects. Her quest for knowledge in this field led her to a uniquely haunted site that inspired a TV series she created and produced. This series features horror icon Santiago Cirilo (The Walking Dead) and paranormal legend David Childers (Travel Channel), along with other esteemed researchers, authors, and special guests, all set at the notorious filming location of Hell House, LLC. This site also motivated her to author a book detailing the exceptionally unique paranormal activity there. Titled “The Waldorf Effect: A Paranormal Research Theory,” this book serves as the centerpiece of her current lecture tours, captivating a large audience eager for interaction and insights into this emerging and fascinating theory.
Laurissa’s TV series is scheduled to premiere on streaming platforms in 2026. The show explores how the diverse backgrounds of various investigators and special guests interact with this specific location—a place renowned for its simultaneous and tumultuous hauntings. Each investigator faces a twist: they must survive 24 hours alone. As both an author and researcher, she has documented and validated previously unknown evidence and history about this location, with metaphysical discoveries made by her team from 2021 through 2024 and continuing beyond filming into 2025. Her book and speaking engagements delve into this research and evidence, as well as the experiences encountered on set. These lectures are interactive, featuring video and audio footage, promising a dynamic presentation that engages and excites a large audience.
She holds an M.B.A. specializing in International Business Law and a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. Additionally, she is a former US Army German Linguist, trained at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. As a psychic medium, she navigates the spirit world in her research, diligently bridging the gap between science and metaphysics.
