About

The Milwaukee Paranormal Conference, now in its second year, is a celebration of the study of topics like ghosts, UFOs, cryptozoology (the study of mystery animals, like Bigfoot), and folklore and culture. The conference features guest speakers, panel discussions, tours, workshops, a film screening, a vendor floor with 50 tables, and after parties.

Some of the speaker highlights include:
• Cryptozoology expert Loren Coleman, who has written dozens of books on the subject and is curator of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
• Katrina Weidman, star of the hit reality show Paranormal Lockdown.
• Chase Kloetzke, Deputy Director of Investigations and Special Case Manager for the Mutual UFO Network
• Elizabeth Saint, proprietor of Ghostly Gadgets and co-star of Destination America’s Ghosts of Shepherdstown.
• Linda S. Godfrey and Chad Lewis, both longtime researchers and authors of strange phenomenon in Wisconsin.
• The Roswell Debate. A moderated debate between researchers Donald R. Schmitt and Mark O’Connell on UFO investigation techniques and the 1947 Roswell case.

We have many more speakers and panel discussions like “Searching for Wisconsin’s Sasquatch,” “Haunted Road Trip,” and “Best UFO Reports 2016.” We also have a Saturday night masquerade ball and a Sunday documentary screening. Whether you are a devoted paranormal investigator or a more casual fan of shows like Ghost Hunters and The X-Files, the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference will be an intriguing and entertaining weekend.
