Ed Mulgrave Jr.[1] (also known as Ed Mulgrave)[2] is the current historian of Aldridge Mansion Museum. Ed is in the 2016 movie.

History[]

Ed Mulgrave Jr. got a frantic phone call from Garrett claiming the Aldridge Mansion was haunted by the ghost of Gertrude Aldridge. Mulgrave did some research and bought a hard copy of Ghosts of Our Past off of Amazon. He tracked down one of the co-authors, Erin Gilbert, and went to Columbia University to seek out her help. He went into the auditorium she was assigned to lecture in that day. Erin was psyching herself up for the lecture and started shaking her butt around unaware Mulgrave was behind her. He was speechless. She turned around and was startled. Mulgrave apologized for interrupting her and explained he needed to speak to her about her book. Erin tried to dissuade him that she had written anything about ghosts, but he confirmed this by holding up her author picture. Erin claimed it was a gag. Mulgrave was skeptical it was a 460 page gag and pointed out the first sentence was, "This is not a joke." Erin gave up and asked him what he wanted. Mulgrave introduced himself and asked her to come to the Aldridge Mansion because he believed it was haunted. He admitted he tried the police first but he just sounded crazy telling them what happened. Erin was unsure how he even found a copy since she thought she burned both copies. He further explained that the book was available on Amazon in multiple formats, which prompted Erin to track down Abby.

When Erin, Abby, and Jillian Holtzmann went to the mansion to investigate the paranormal event, Garrett thought Erin was talking about Ed Mulgrave Sr., and implied the Mulgrave she met had been a ghost. Just as Abby and Jillian got excited at the prospect of two ghosts, Mulgrave arrived, proving he was still alive. Mulgrave told Erin, Abby, and Jillian that called Garrett him sobbing and told him he soiled himself because of the paranormal event.[3][4] Garrett denied it. They both waited outside while Erin, Abby, and Holtzmann went inside the mansion.
