An Evening with Chris McKinnell: Free Book Signing, Talk and Q&A

Northumberland Haunted Museum is honoured to welcome Chris McKinnell to Amble for a very special evening.

Chris is an author and researcher, Director of the Warren Legacy Foundation for Paranormal Research, and the grandson of Ed and Lorraine Warren, two of the most widely known names in the history of paranormal investigation. Their case files, from the Enfield poltergeist here in England to the investigations that later inspired The Conjuring films, have shaped how the world thinks about the unexplained.

In his book, The Warren Legacy: What the Paranormal Reveals About Consciousness and Reality, Chris looks at his grandparents' work through a family lens and asks the bigger questions it raises about the mind, belief and what we experience.

What to expect

The evening begins with a book signing, followed by a talk from Chris and an open Q&A. This is a rare chance to hear first-hand about the Warrens' legacy from someone who knew them as family, and to ask your own questions. Whether you arrive a firm believer, a curious sceptic or somewhere in between, you will be very welcome.

You'll also be surrounded by the museum's own collection of artefacts, real stories and local history, so do take a moment to explore while you're with us.
