Milwaukee Paranormal Conference

More Outer Con Announced–3rd Ward and Forest Home Cemetery tours!

/ milwaukeeparacon / Leave a comment

We originally called these events “After Con” but “Outer Con” may or may not be a better term. These are fun and interesting things for you to do the weekend of the conference if you want a little extra experience. These events are endorsed by us, but most of them are organized by the groups hosting them, not the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference. Most of them have a very limited space, so buy ’em while they’re available.

-We previously announced an investigation with the Paranormal Investigators of Milwaukee at the Milwaukee Theater the night of Friday, October 14. This was such a popular option that the first investigation session SOLD OUT. A second session has just 9 available spots left (and probably less by the time you read this.

We’re happy to announce the first of our “After Con” activities (although this one is technically before the con), which will also include walking tours and a stargazing session. Please note that while we do endorse these activities, they are not organized by Milwaukee Paranormal Conference, so questions should directed to the organizations who are hosting them.

Paranormal Investigators of Milwaukee (PIM) have put together a session where people can join the team as they investigate the Milwaukee Theatre in downtown Milwaukee for October 14, the Friday night before the conference, 9:30-11:30pm. If you are buying a VIP ticket, you have plenty of time to get over there after our Friday night VIP dinner. Tickets for the investigation are $40.

There are only 25 available tickets for this investigation, so sign up today!
