TL;DR Claim(s) to Fame
Ed Caluag is a Filipino paranormal investigator and media personality known for high-visibility TV segments focused on hauntings, alleged entities, and supernatural claims. While not a classic “UFO researcher,” he fits UAPedia’s broader coverage of fringe-investigation culture and how audiences interpret extraordinary reports.
Caluag is described as a licensed professional teacher who later became prominent for paranormal commentary and investigations presented through popular Philippine programming.
His relevance to ufology is indirect: he represents a parallel “investigation entertainment” lane that overlaps with UFO culture in audiences, storytelling style, and credibility disputes.
He built recognition through repeated on-air appearances and field segments, becoming a recurring “expert” voice for paranormal cases.
His prominence is strongly media-driven: visibility, recurring segments, and public debate about what counts as evidence in televised investigations.
Later attention includes continued appearances, online clips, and a persistent fan/critic split over methods and conclusions.
Caluag’s contribution is cultural: he helped popularize paranormal investigation as mainstream entertainment in his region. For UAPedia, he’s useful as a case study in how “expert authority” is constructed on TV.
Notable “cases” are typically episode-based investigations rather than a single landmark file comparable to famous UFO incidents.
He often frames incidents in spiritual/paranormal terms while also using investigation props and narrative structure associated with modern paranormal TV.
He has received significant criticism online, including disputes where alternative explanations were later presented publicly for specific televised claims.
His influence is primarily through TV and online distribution: clips, recaps, and the broader Philippine paranormal media ecosystem.
Primarily televised appearances and documentary-style episodes rather than widely-circulated English-language books.
Caluag’s legacy is as a mass-media paranormal figure: significant reach, strong audience engagement, and ongoing debate about standards of evidence in entertainment-based investigations.
