The paranormal investigator was among the few faces of the ‘Devils on the Run Tour,’ which brought the allegedly haunted Annabelle doll across the US.
Before his death, the tour at Gettysburg was reportedly completely sold out, with all of its 1,260 tickets sold out across three days of the weekend beginning Friday.
