Arkansas's 1st Annual Ghost Hunting Convention
Arkansas's 1st Annual Ghost Hunting Convention

 
The First Annual Arkansas Ghost Hunters Conference was held the weekend of March 9th, 10th, and 11th, 2007
at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs Arkansas. The Crescent Hotel is Ranked 8th out of the Top 10 Most Haunted Hotels In the United States.

The Conference started at 5.00PM with speaker Carroll Heath. Carroll and his Business Partner run the Eureka Springs Ghost Tours. Which lead you through the many, many hallways
of the Crescent Hotel, and you get the History of the building over the years. For those that don’t remember Carroll is the Medium that TAPS aka GhostHunters on SciFi could not debunk. On their FLIR camera he had the Jimmy Hendrix show going on.

The next speaker was Chris Moon. A Paranormal Investigator as well as President and Senior Editor of Haunted Times Magazine. a very remarkable man who's knowledge and insight is truly amazing. He discussed his possession of Frank’s box and the results he has been getting with it. Then soon after he was off to Savannah, Georgia for yet another conference.

Tim Yancey Webmaster of Amityvillehorro.com, discussed the violent haunting's, and the Amityville case. Tim was a close friend of George Lutz before George passed away this past summer. We had some technical issues that Josh from Para-Zone Radio worked on but alas we had to cut Tim’s presentation short. He was rescheduled for the next day. Because of the technical problems Tim gave Everyone a copy of some exclusive audio from George Lutz, When Tim did get to do his presentation he shared video and audio of his interviews and discussions with George. I got to speak with Tim for a little bit and he is a REAL down to earth kind of guy.

Ghostly Talk Radio was there to record the ENTIRE convention an should have the archives uploaded very soon.

From 8:00PM on Ghost Tours of the Crescent Hotel were offered. And at Midnight the Investigations kicked off both at the Crescent and the Basin Hotel another hot spot of activity in Eureka Springs. We did not participate in those investigations as To Many People involved “we actually had an investigation to do downtown of our own with a lot less mayhem - The Whole Town has Activity"

Saturday began with Rick Hayes kicking off the morning from LifesGift.com, he discussed his ability to communicate to departed loved ones, and talked about “That Super Natural Life”

RoseMary Ellen Guiley, spoke on Shadow People, she has done extensive research in categorizing them. Commonality's, descriptions as well showing photos and drawings. It actually reminded me of some experiences of my own regarding Shadow People that I will be contacting her about for her upcoming book.

Next was Mr. John Zaffis, who was the main reason I attended the Conference. John shared his investigations on Possessions, and talked about good and evil. If you get the chance to see him Please do. TAPS Members Ron Millone and Brian Harnois were not able to attend due to conflicts of schedules.

After Dinner Keith Age from the Sci Fi Channel's Waverly Hills Sanatorium SPOOKED spoke and shared his experiences. We got to see some stuff never shown before. And a highlight of the new SPOOKED2 Titled "Children of The Grave" coming soon.

The last speaker was Troy Taylor, he gave us the history of Paranormal investigators. And how learning from past experiences has put us all where we are today.

For this to be the very FIRST Conference to be held in a region that Most people here do not even like to discuss Paranormal or Ghosts I was impressed at the turnout. I do not know the head count but would estimate well over 200 people. Very impressive indeed. NWA Ghost Connection……kudos to you guys. Thanks to you, the Crescent Hotel and their staff, as well as all the Sponsors and Volunteers. You made the First Annual Ghost Hunters Conference a Success……….now How are you going to TOP that for the next one. LOL

And to all those we networked with, so many people and being very bad with names, I thank you for coming and chatting with us.
