PARACON EXPO 2026

A Day of Connecting to History Through the Paranormal

August 29, 2026

PARACON EXPO is a full-day immersive experience where history and the unexplained meet. Spend the day exploring expert-led presentations, curated paranormal vendors, and a hauntingly fascinating artifact room — then return after dark for an exclusive VIP investigation experience. 

All proceeds support the preservation of the LBI Historical Museum, built in 1882.

DAY EXPERIENCE - $25

From 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the Museum transforms into a paranormal symposium featuring:

  • Dynamic speakers and live demonstration

  • Paranormal-focused vendors and authors

  • A curated haunted objects experience room

  • Special historical insights into the building itself

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or seasoned — there’s something for you.

VIP EXPERIENCE - $75

7:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Limited to just 48 guests.

This guided evening experience includes:

  • Medium-led sensitivity circle

  • Scientific instrument instruction

  • Hands-on investigation of two historic buildings

  • Small groups (12 per team)

  • Closing session to share findings

This is not a show. It’s an experience.

WHY ATTEND?

Because history holds stories — and some may still be waiting to be heard.

This immersive event blends scholarship, curiosity, and respectful investigation inside a preserved 19th-century landmark.

👁 EXPLORE THE UNEXPLAINED

Step inside one of Long Beach Island’s most historic buildings and encounter the stories that history cannot fully explain. From haunted artifacts to guided investigations, PARACON invites you to explore the mysteries that linger within museum walls.

📚 LEARN FROM EXPERTS

Engage with seasoned paranormal investigators, historians, and specialists who approach the unexplained with curiosity, research, and respect. Discover investigative techniques, hear documented experiences, and gain insight into the science and history behind the phenomena.

🏛 EXPERIENCE HISTORY AFTER DARK

There is something profoundly different about a historic building at night. As daylight fades, the atmosphere shifts. This exclusive after-hours access allows guests to experience the LBI Historical Museum in a way few ever do — quietly, intimately, and with intention.

🏛 SUPPORTING PRESERVATION

Every ticket purchased directly supports the preservation of the LBI Historical Museum, built in 1882 — our largest and most important artifact. By attending PARACON EXPO, you are helping protect this landmark for future generations while experiencing it in a truly unforgettable way.
