The year was 1916. A rural Wisconsin school opened its doors to the local community. It's said that early on, teachers became aware of certain unexplainable phenomena. But it wasn't until the school closed in 1995 that the Old Glenbuelah School became notorious for its paranormal activity. Today, the school is quite possibly the most haunted place in Wisconsin -- and on Friday, September 13th, 2024, it will be hosting the Great Lakes Paranormal Conference. Whether you're fascinated by local lore or are interested in immersive, bone-chilling experiences led by paranormal investigators, you'll be signing up for a most unforgettable weekend.

Save the date for September 13th - 15th, 2024, a weekend expected to be fascinating, entertaining, and without a doubt, a bit terrifying.

Attendants of the Great Lakes Paranormal Conference will step inside the most haunted school in Wisconsin, the perfect venue for a weekend dedicated to all things paranormal.

The event is hosted by Craig Nehring and Melissa Clevenger, paranormal enthusiasts with 12 years of combined experience. They bought the school after it had sat vacant since 1995.

If you're familiar with ghost hunting shows, you'll recognize the celebrities slated to attend.

This year's event features an impressive lineup of speakers, including Chad Lindberg, Cindy Kaza, Susan Slaughter, Dave Schrader, Jeff Belanger, and more. You'll also enjoy the opportunity to browse one-of-a-kind items from local vendors as well as the food truck options.

And while the weekend's talks and events are sure to be gripping, the venue itself may just present its own surprises.

It's not uncommon to hear disembodied voices, footsteps going up and down the stairs, knocking, tapping, and even the voice of a little girl giggling.

Just like something from a horror movie, there's a dedicated room for dolls that may have a haunting attached to them.

The opportunity to tour this notorious school is one of the most memorable parts of the weekend. And just wait until you hear the chilling first-hand accounts of paranormal encounters within these walls. Who knows -- after this weekend, you may even have a few of your own stories to add into the mix.

This event will likely sell out, so be sure to get your tickets now!
