Halloween Speaker: Greg and Dana Newkirk's - Haunted Objects Live!
Ballroom C
Halloween Speakers, Greg and Dana Newkirk, paranormal professionals with two decades of experience in the investigation of the the strange and the unexplained will be talking about Possessions: The Study of Haunted Objects.
Often referred to as the real-life Mulder and Scully, Dana and Greg Newkirk are award-winning television producers and two of the world’s only professional, full-time paranormal investigators. Over the last two decades, their groundbreaking work in the fields of parapsychology, cryptozoology, and haunted artifacts have seen the duo make numerous appearances on hit television series such as Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot and Travel Channel’s Kindred Spirits, as well as in leading news outlets like The Independent, VICE, The Washington Post, and even Seventeen Magazine.
When they’re not busy tracking down a lead on the latest mystery, Dana and Greg can be found giving fascinating lectures to sold-out rooms across the country. Using personal footage, private case files, and a knack for captivating audiences, the Newkirks present actual evidence of the unexplained through chilling multimedia presentations on the reality of professional paranormal research.
Whether they’re collecting cursed idols hidden under haunted houses or trekking through the snowy mountains in search of Sasquatch, their long and varied career has earned the Newkirks a reputation as two of the most knowledgeable names in the study of the unexplained, a designation reflected by their carefully-curated museum collection.
This event is free and open to the public.
