WHY ATTEND A CONFERENCE OR CONVENTION ABOUT GHOSTS AND THE PARANORMAL?

A ghost conference can be a great way to meet others with like interests as well as participate within the ghost hunting community. You might be surprised at the number of contacts you can make while there.

Ghost conferences are a great place to learn from each other, as 'ghost experts' tend to share their experiences and techniques for detecting and interacting with ghosts. Often, discussions, panels and speakers enlighten the crowd of ghost enthusiasts with their experiences, experiments and revelations.

Special 'Ghost Events'

At a ghost convention, it's not uncommon to find unique events after hours, such as a dedicated time of ghost hunting, casual gatherings with famous ghost investigators, drinks and dinner with fellow ghost hunters and more. Typically, unique settings such as Gettysburg or Savannah are chosen for a more pleasurable event (not to mention that locations known for paranormal occurrences help 'set the mood'). History buffs will find plenty to wet their appetites, too, especially when events are held within historic districts and purported haunted locations. If you're lucky, maybe you can stay in a hotel known for its ghosts!

Many ghost conferences will also provide workshops, where hands-on work with different detection equipment and techniques can be learned. We've always enjoyed visiting vendor booths. You'll see people from around the United States (even other countries) displaying their books, ghost hunting equipment and other wares; and of course, important networking with fellow ghost, sci-fi and paranormal enthusiasts will ensue throughout the event.
