The legendary Pennhurst Asylum has a dark history that has attracted countless paranormal enthusiasts and thrill-seekers over the years. This year, from May 19th to May 21st, 2023, this hauntingly epic location will play host to ParaCon, the biggest paranormal convention on the East Coast! If you’re a fan of all things spooky and want to meet some of the most infamous names in the paranormal world, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

ParaCon 2023 will be jam-packed with paranormal activity! Their event line-up includes historical tours, celebrity-led paranormal investigations, and an oddities expo with vendors selling all manner of strange and unusual items. But the main draw for many attendees will be the opportunity to meet some of ParaCon’s special celebrity guests including stars from Ghost Hunters, Destination Fear, Mountain Monsters, Kindred Spirits, and Kris Williams from Ghost Hunters herself!

• Ghost Hunters, one of the most popular paranormal investigation shows on TV, will be represented by TAPS team members Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, and Dave Tango, along with Shari DeBenedetti. Fans of the show will be thrilled to see them in person, where they’ll be revisiting some of their most chilling cases and investigating new hauntings.

• Mountain Monsters is a show about a group of hardcore hunters and trappers who investigate legendary and unidentified creatures roaming the Appalachian Mountains. The AIMS crew, led by founders “Trapper” John Tice, Jeff Headlee, and Willy McQuillian, will be at ParaCon to share their experiences and insights.

• Destination Fear, another popular show on the Travel Channel, follows documentary filmmaker Dakota Laden, his sister Chelsea, and his best friend Tanner Wiseman as they travel across the country to spend nights in haunted locations. They use scientific equipment to capture evidence of paranormal activity and explore abandoned buildings, from asylums to prisons. At ParaCon, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the cast and hear about their most terrifying experiences!

• Kindred Spirits, a show featuring two of America’s leading paranormal investigators, Amy Bruni and Adam Berry, will also be represented at ParaCon. The show follows Bruni and Berry as they help families tormented by unusual activity in their homes, often with the added stress that the spirits may be their own late family members. At ParaCon, fans of the show can meet the duo in person and learn about their techniques and insights into the paranormal world.

• Kris Williams, an investigator and researcher on SYFY’s Ghost Hunters International, Ghost Hunters, and Destination Truth, will be leading her own paranormal investigation at Pennhurst Asylum during the event. Williams is known for her expertise in the field of paranormal investigation and her ability to communicate with spirits, and ParaCon attendees will have the chance to see her in action!
