HELD AT THE MINERAL SPRINGS HOTEL
Join us on an intriguing journey into the mysterious realm of Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) as we unveil the culmination of groundbreaking research by presenters April Slaughter of Slaughter House Collective and Matthew Jackson of Paraholics & ObscuraVox. In this workshop, they will delve into the historical tapestry of ITC work in paranormal research, tracing the evolution of spirit communication techniques and devices. Prepare to be captivated as they not only unravel the enigmatic past but also step boldly into the present, demonstrating in real-time the inner workings of modern ITC devices. As a highlight, we invite you to witness the manifestation of their collaborative experiment, "Shadows in the Static," an ever-evolving endeavor born initially from investigations into Utah's Skinwalker Ranch. Unveil the secrets that bridge the living and the ethereal, as we showcase this enigmatic project that blurs the boundaries between science and the supernatural.

Join like-minded souls as we gather together to discuss the losses we've experienced, the difficulties of "moving on," and share stories of our personal grief journeys and how exploring the paranormal has helped in the healing process.

We will use our own senses and vision, dowsing rods and pendulums as well.

ALTON HAUNTINGS TOUR
HOSTED BY LUKE NALIBORSKI
SATURDAY NIGHT: 7:00 PM | $26 PER PERSON
DEPARTS FROM THE MINERAL SPRINGS IN DOWNTOWN ALTON
Join Luke as he takes you on a trip back into time to explore the ghostly history of Alton — “One of the Most Haunted Small Towns in America!” Based on the book by Troy Taylor, our award-winning tour takes you behind the scenes — and inside of — the most haunted places in town! Author Mark Twain once called Alton a "dismal little river town," largely thanks to the dark history that the city had already endured prior to its heyday as a thriving river port. From those days, through the early 1900s, Alton saw more than its share of death, disease, disaster, violence, murder, and even the scars of the Civil War. Today, come see how the events of the past have created the hauntings we experience today!
