Hello, paranormal fans! As a girl once said, “they’re baaaaaaack!” We had an online only conference last year (pandemic!) and are glad to say we are returning with an in-person event this fall (we will also be broadcasting some of it online for paranormal fans around the world).

The Milwaukee Paranormal Conference was founded in 2015 by author Tea Krulos. The vision has always been to provide fascinating guest speakers, panels, documentaries, and activities related to paranormal investigation, Ufology, cryptozoology, folklore, and all things strange and eerie. It is also an event that celebrates local artists, crafters, musicians, and businesses. It is informative, a great chance to meet people with similar interests, and we also try to make it a helluva fun time.

Our presenting sponsor this year is American Ghost Walks, which offers walking ghost tours in Milwaukee, Chicago, throughout the Midwest and beyond.

Please note this event is put together by a small band of merry, hardworking volunteers who are all always busy with a million things, so be patient! Below is a list of events, speakers, and vendors. It isn’t complete, because some details are still being worked out, but this will give an idea of some of the events and people who will be there. We will be updating this post with times and ticket links as we get them.

Friday, Sept. 24: Paranormal Party Time @ Faklandia Brewing, 6pm

Ghost Story Open Mic (share your own experiences and stories!)

Tea’s Weird Week Trivia w/ Miss Information (show off your knowledge of the strange and eerie!)
