Everything You Need to Know for Milwaukee Paranormal Conference 2021

September 15, 2021September 23, 2021 / milwaukeeparacon / Leave a comment

What the heck is the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference?

MPC was started in 2015 by journalist, author, event organizer, podcast host, and all around weird guy Tea Krulos. The event features investigators and researchers giving talks on paranormal subjects. It’s also a celebration of arts and crafts, music, film, culture, and local businesses.

The conference is sponsored by American Ghost Walks, which offers ghost tours in the Midwest and beyond.

Where is this event?

Sept. 24, 6pm- Paranormal Party @ Faklandia Brewing. This is a free event and you do not need a ticket. It features a Ghost Story Open Mic where you can sign up to tell your story, trivia, and a performance by Sunspot.
Here’s the event FB page: https://www.facebook.com/events/292416242659939

Sept. 25, 10am-6pm- MPC @ Alverno College. This is a free event, but you do need to register: https://milwaukeeparacon.com/registration/

Sept. 26, Activities Day @ various locations throughout the day. See listing later in this post on which activities are free and which require tickets.

What COVID protocols are in place?

Alverno College’s official policy is that all visitors must wear masks, vaccinated or not. Attendees who do not wear masks will not be allowed into the event. Please work with us and not against us on this.

Where exactly is the conference on the Alverno campus?

Alverno’s Bucyrus Conference facility is located inside the Sister Joel Read Center. The key to getting there is to enter the campus by their entrance on 43rd St next to the big ALVERNO COLLEGE sign. On the map below you can see a red X by the 43rd St entrance, and another red X by a building labelled A. That’s the parking garage. The red dots show the path from the parking garage to the Sister Joel Read Center, where the conference is.

This is what the Sister Joel Read Center looks like. The entrances are in the dome-shaped part of the building.

The rotunda has the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference/ American Ghost Walks tables, a selfie station, and a Friends of the Milwaukee Public Library- Bookseller reading corner. Right next to the rotunda are the vendor floor and speaker room, and directly behind that is the Alumnae Hall, where additional presentations are being conducted.

What food/ drink will be available?

The campus cafeteria is just down the hallway from the conference and is open all day serving food and beverages (including coffee!) and from 2-6pm there will be a bar set up in the rotunda that serves adult beverages and snacks.

Will there be Milwaukee Paranormal Conference merch?

Yeah! We’ll have stickers, buttons, and t-shirts. Buying this merch helps support the event. In addition, we have over 30 fantastic vendors this year. You can see a listing of them here: https://milwaukeeparacon.com/2021/08/25/you-will-weep-paranormal-tears-of-joy-when-you-see-this-milwaukee-paranormal-conference-vendor-line-up/

Is this event wheelchair accessible?

Yes, no stairs.

If this event is free, why do I have to register? I’m a nihilist.

So we can keep tabs on how many people to expect.

One thing that separates Milwaukee Paranormal Conference from some of your other run-of-the-mill, dusty conferences is that we’ve strived since year one to make it an event of not just paranormal themed talks, but also a celebration of local arts, crafts, authors, and musicians.

This year we have an excellent line-up of 33 vendors for our event Sept. 25 at Alverno College’s Bucyrus Center. It’s a really good mix of familiar faces and people brand new to the conference, including organizations, artists, authors, businesses and more. The conference runs 10am-5pm on September 25. It’s a free event, you just need to get your tickets by registering here: milwaukeeparacon.com/registration

Milwaukee Paranormal Conference Returns Sept. 24-26, 2021

July 29, 2021September 23, 2021 / milwaukeeparacon / 8 Comments

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.

FREE ticket to Sept. 25 conference: 2021 MKE Paracon Registration | Milwaukee Paranormal Conference (milwaukeeparacon.com)

You Won’t Believe Your Ears at the 88Nine Mystery Sound Booth!

October 5, 2016October 9, 2016 / milwaukeeparacon / Leave a comment

Located in the UWM Union Ballroom Lounge, just outside the vendor hall. Available for listening at the conference 10-5 Saturday, 10-4 Sunday.

Listen to 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, check out event listings and more at: www.radiomilwaukee.org

Supporting sponsors: Liquid Crescent Design, Rebel Wipes

The 88Nine Mystery Sound Booth is a chance for you to sit down at three listening stations to hear audio clips recorded by researchers in the paranormal research fields. Each station has a program that will lead you through a few clips and then you can move on to the next station.

soundbooth_posters-01 Listening Station #1: Ghost Whisper EVPs

EVPs or “Electronic Voice Phenomenon” refer to strange ghostly whispers paranormal investigators pick up on their audio recording equipment while investigating haunted locations. We have sets of recordings passed on to us from local team Paranormal Investigators of Milwaukee (who will also be at the conference) and our friends at TnT Paranormal Investigators (with chapters in Chicago, Orlando, and other locations). What are these bone chilling whispers in the dark trying to say?

Listening Station #2: Bigfoot!

Jim Sherman was a 2015 Milwaukee Paranormal Conference guest speaker and is a Michigan field representative for the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. He has recorded some bloodcurdling howls while out on Bigfoot expeditions that he believes is the legendary Sasquatch. Listen to these odd howls and whoops and cancel your camping plans for next summer…maybe forever.

soundbooth_posters-03 Listening Station #3: Numbers Stations

During the Cold War “Numbers Stations” proliferated. These broadcasts consisted of transmissions of people counting, strains of music, random words. Spies would know what time and frequency to tune in via shortwave radio to listen to the transmission and decode them. Some mysterious numbers station still exist! We have some recordings of transmissions here with info on them provided by the Numbers Stations Research and Information Center, a website run by researchers who catalog numbers station activity.

In addition to our sponsor 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, we want to thank our supporting sponsors Liquid Crescent Design and Rebel Wipes who helped put the booth together and the organizations mentioned that let us use their audio files. Stop by and take a listen!

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

May 17, 2016September 14, 2016 / 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.
