John Zaffis (b. 1955) is a paranormal researcher based in Connecticut. He runs the Paranormal and Demonology Research Society of New England which he founded in 1998.

Zaffis has over thirty years experience as a paranormal investigator. He spent his first years learning from his uncle and aunt Ed and Lorraine Warren the world famous demonologists. What he learned from his aunt and uncle went far beyond his original interests in ghosts and haunted houses. He became interested in demonology which led into Zaffis's involvement with cases of possession and exorcism and working with prominent exorcists in that field. He has worked with Roman Catholic priests, monks, Buddhists, rabbis and ministers. Zaffis has also taken part and assisted with the work of such well-known exorcists as Bishop Robert McKenna, Malachi Martin and the Reverend Jun.

His first book is Shadows of the Dark which was co-written with Brian McIntrye. His second book The Trouble Within is due out in the Fall of 2006.

He has appeared on the radio show Coast to Coast in June of 2005 and on the morning of February 10, 2006. During an exorcism in which he assisted in he witnessed a woman levitate out of a chair. It took five people to hold her down.

Zaffis has made appearances on Unsolved Mysteries, the Discovery Channel documentaries, Little Lost Souls and Haunting in Connecticut. Currently he co-hosts the Paranormal Nights radio show with Brendan Keenan. He runs the Museum of the Paranormal located in Stratford, Connecticut.
