Paranormal Forum Halloween Party!

    Ok so i know its early but I'm thinking we need to have a big bash this year. The forum is growing all the time and i just think we need to let our hair down and have some good spirited fun!

    Ideally i think I'd like to organise one and book out a room or large area in a pub. Fancy dress could be fun? If a room was booked and tickets were sold we could have it open to the whole of boards and invite other paranormal groupos from around Ireland.

    Any money made after costs are covered could go to Charleville Castle as it is a charity.

    Its only 4 month away and by the time we get enough interest and decide on ventunes etc it will be time to book a place. It will be Saturday 28th October.

    Any ideas, suggestions or opinions?

    It would presumably have to be in a haunted castle somewhere ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Could work and i could see about having it at Charleville but maybe people would only be willing to travel into town?

    Obviously i'd love it if it could be a bigger thing where i organise a bus going down and bringing everyone back to dublin?

    As far as I know, there is always a Halloween bash at Charleville every year...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    To be honest i dont think the castle would be the most realistic place for it. We want people to go and its a bit out of the way.

    Any other suggestions people?

    Have it in Loftus Hall.

    ND Loftus hall is not available plus going by the fact that Charleville is too out of the way, would you not think the same for Loftus?

    This is about a social outing not an investigation.

    Good point...

    On a semi-related note, I think it'd be an interesting time to hold an investigation, given that the Earl died on the 31st of October, but that is for another thread, or conversation...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭New_Departure06


    How about Bunratty Castle. They have banquets there I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    I really dont think you are getting the it's a bit out of the way thing. I may have to wip off my sock and fashion a rudamentory puppet to explain it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    If you want to go really go a bit out of the way, how about coming along to England? ;)


    Seriously though, do you think Dublin Castle (or any other place nearby) could hold some sort of banquet thing? I'd imagine it'd be a tad pricey, mind.

    I know I haven't been posting much mostly lurking around, but myself and my fiance would definately be up for a Halloween bash. I should have the car back on the road by then so anywhere is fine for me, once its not TOO pricey lol. :D

    You really think that would be a good place for a party at the end of october? Its not very partical seeing as this would be a social get together with a bar, some food and music. I think we need to do more as a community besides field trips and investigations.

    Also this isnt just for people who post on paranormal. It would be a way of mixing with boards as a whole.

    Big bash, have a laugh, dress up, meet people .... whats not to like?

    Not much point having a party if there's no room for my ego

    I think the hellfire club tends to be 'pre-booked' most halloweens ;)

    I think there's usually a boards beers around halloween, maybe we could do something with that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    that and the hellfire club is often taken over by various sects and groups of scobes and scumbags with cans. Most castles will cash in on the halloween thing and have some sort of expensive events. Im sure there will be a boards beerage around the time. How about a Paranormal Beerage in, say The Brazen Head: Dublin's oldest pub dating from 1668 has seen alot of history. A good spot in the oldest part of dublin for a paranormal beers

    Porterhouse and Koperberg FTW!!!!!!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,688 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    Brazen head and porter house are 2 good suggestions


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    ah i saw you loved that stuff - i love the mixed berry never fails to get me there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Well I was just thinking if you wanted to have a Paranormal Beers you would pick a place with a long and dark history. That said the Porter House also puts dry ice into its drinks on Halloween which its atmospheric at least. I was there last Halloween, it is My Birthday after all . :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    sure theres another reason!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    I guess this means I have to make an appearance for the beers event... :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭New_Departure06


    Are the spirits invited?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Tequila , Vodka and Sambuca? The Three Greatest Spirits of Them All??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    I'll take the first and the last, sod the middle... that's the devil's pee! :p

    There'll definitely be a repeat of the Samhain Fancy Dress Ball in aid of Féile Draiochta that was organised partly through boards.ie and partly through the Dublin Pagan community last year. You'd all be more than welcome at that.
