For this reason, the World Ghost Convention was established to help those who have had supernatural experiences by raising public awareness, highlighting the fact that they are not alone in having such experiences. In addition, this unique international Ghost Convention provides an ideal opportunity for people to express their views on the paranormal by
giving them a platform to share their own experiences with like-minded Ghost and Spirit enthusiasts.

Admission: 20 Euro

___

To give people who are curious about the supernatural in general an opportunity to hear a variety of supernatural topics explored by speakers from different backgrounds and professions.
___

To get a clearer picture of the supernatural by touching upon a variety of
different aspects of the supernatural from different viewpoints.

The panel of guest speakers for the evening are:

Have there been 'accidental' meetings in your life? Have you met someone out of the blue who gave you information you needed at the time? In a lecture entitled "Demystifying The Spirit World - Practical Applications In Our Everyday Lives", Kathleen Mueting will explore Spirit Guides and Angels who are there for us and provide examples of how these 'Invisible Helpers' work miracles in our lives.

John Collins, Psychic / Spiritualist
Drawing from his own personal history, John will speak about his everyday experiences with ghosts and outline his method of communicating with them. He will also go through the different reasons why spirits wish to communicate with us.

Dr. Margaret Humphreys

In the lecture titled "Seeing is Believing?", Dr. Humphreys will outline and discuss the question of belief and disbelief in ghost stories regarding supernatural sightings from both a positive and critical perspective.

Christina Linehan, Clinical Hypnotherapist/Psychotherapist/Reiki Master
American born Christina moved to Ireland from the East Coast in 2002 and along with Analysis and Suggestion Therapy, specialises in past life regression and regression for alien encounters. Christina will discuss expanding our definition and awareness of reality and describe how her own life was enriched by the amazing metaphysical insights her children shared with her. She will also share photos of orbs, spirits and a portal.

Helen Barrett, the White Witch of the Isles
Internationally renowned for her psychic abilities, Helen will discuss the reasons why ghosts, intentionally or unintentionally violate the laws of physicalisation and the consequences of such violation.

I will now be attending this. Half day off work, hoping on an Express Train to Cork and back around lunch time on Saturday .... then the Boards.ie Halloween Beers on the Sunday obviously!

Zillah

I'd be tempted to go except I'd constantly have to stifle an urge to heckle/debate them mid-lecture.

Stoner

myself and the wife are going to go, make a weekend out of it. You can have a lift down if you want 6th. eitherway I dont care, cos that's how i roll.

6th

Is it faster to drive or take the express train?

Stoner

I'd say the express train,
I'm not going till the Saturday morning though (early) as there is some form of a hen night taking place that I am not invited to but nevertheless has interfered with my plans

6th

Aren't all the talks on the Friday night though?

Stoner

your point being?

6th

There doesnt appear to be anythign great happening on the Saturday?

Stoner

i'll go down on the friday night so, and hook up with herself the next day and drive home on the monday

6th

Ok I have 3 tickets held at the door for myself, Stoner and Grimes ... who else is coming down?

monkeyfudge

I can't say for sure until I get back to Ireland. I'll let you know this weekend if I plan on attending.

6th

I didnt think you were back until the 27th? Anyway looks like I'll be stayng in Jurys as its around the corner .... might get in touch with a few cork groups too.

monkeyfudge

I'm back in Ireland late tomorrow evening.

I love how there is free wifi everywhere here. I'm currently sipping beer in a beutiful sunny plaza.
