Last weekend, myself and the rest of the Paranormal SPY crew (Angelique Avalon and Ronin Fuse) took a little field trip down to land of the witches, historical Salem, Massachusetts where we made a visit to GhoStock 7, 2009. This was the first paranormal convention any of us had ever been to. And I gotta tell ya, it was a fantastic experience. I’ve never met a friendlier, more accessible group then I did at GhoStock. Patrick Burns, founder and organizer of GhoStock, as well as star of TRU TV’s “Haunting Evidence” was a huge help and allowed us to stick our cameras wherever we wanted to.

Unfortunately we missed out on the investigations the night before. But we did hear from many of the guests that it was a great experience to actually ghost hunt with some of the head honchos of the paranormal field like Bob Hunnicutt (founder of the Georgia Ghost Society), psychic Gavin Cromwell (host of “Absolute Psychic” Star of “Cromwells Quest”) and Keith Age (SciFi channels “Spooked”, founder and director of Louisville Ghost Hunters Society). The best part of the convention was the lectures and believe it or not, the size of the room they were held in. What could be better than sitting in a high school classroom-sized room listening to John Zaffis discuss the dangers of the demonic? After listening to him though, I began having second thoughts about stepping into a haunted house. Those demons seem a bit shady. But I highly recommend checking out GhoStock the next time around. And in the meantime, just to hold you over until next year, we’ll be posting interviews and highlights of some of the lectures. Not bad huh?
