Video: Mike Ricksecker's Real Paranormal Unity! | Inside The Upside Down

Instead of today's "Friday Night Ghost Frights" - there's a special video from my friends Mike Ricksecker and Vanessa Hogle, about Mike's Haunted Roads Media Paracon from last week. If you missed the paracon, Mike and Vanessa discuss the event and how everyone got along so well. There was an all day paracon followed by a public paranormal investigation of the haunted Old Mineral Springs Hotel. Mike said "Following our wildly successful Haunted Road Media ParaCon, we're taking a look inside REAL Paranormal Unity and what made the HRM ParaCon such an amazing event!"

 MIKE'S POST: Haunted Road Media ParaCon Rocks!
June 13, 2018
Mike Ricksecker said:   I’m very happy to say that our very first Haunted Road Media ParaCon, held at the haunted Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton, Illinois, was a smashing success. With hundreds in attendance (we never did get an accurate head count), more than 60 that attended the Saturday night paranormal investigation, the consistently full Crystal Room for the speakers, and music from John Shanahan that rocked, we all had an amazing time in a convergence of Haunted Road Media authors, paranormal investigators, explorers, and other writers and vendors. The memories remain vivid, and for me personally, I can’t help but to continue smiling at the images in my mind of friends of mine from all parts of the country, who may have become acquainted online, but were meeting each other for the first time.
 

Mike and authors

 It first hit me on Friday night when we were meeting up for a Haunted Road Media author dinner, and while I was walking toward the front of the Mineral Springs lobby with Shana at my side, there was Vanessa Hogle, Rob Gutro, and Lee Ehrlich all in a semi-circle meeting each other for the first time.
    It was also the first time Shana was meeting Vanessa and Rob, the former of which gave a mega-hug, a meeting of sister souls, and the latter of which had so many similar experiences while investigating the old hotel that Shana and Rob are now collaborating on a story for the next Encounters With The Paranormal book.
     I have to absolutely thank all the speakers for presenting at this ParaCon: Vanessa Hogle and Katie Hopkins, Amelia Cotter, Lee Ehrlich, Chris Sutton, Chuck Banks, Rob Gutro, Michelle Hamilton, Dale Kaczmarek, and Mark Foster. I also have to give a huge thank you to Bonnie Halperin for all of the food she set up for the speakers and vendors, something I know was appreciated by all. Many thanks to John Shanahan for the great music and setting a fantastic vibe for the whole event. A big thank you goes out to Dave and Donna Nunnally for helping facilitate the event and putting the wheels in motion to make it all happen. And, of course, I couldn’t have done any of this without the help of Shana. And… to all the other vendors and to all the guests who showed up and partook in this amazing event, we all sincerely thank you. Now, instead of going on with the written word, I’ll share here many of the photos and videos from the 2018 Haunted Road Media ParaCon… We’ll see you all next year!

Photos and Recap from Haunted Road Media ParaCon (and Hauntings!)

Mike Ricksecker, Shana Wankel, Rob Gutro

This weekend I had a great experience at Mike Ricksecker's Haunted Road Media ParaCon at Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton, Illinois! In this blog you'll see photos and read about the paranormal investigations we did in the Haunted Hotel where the conference happened, meet Vanessa Hogle and find out about all the cool stuff done by Haunted Road Media.

MY TALK- ABOUT MESSAGES FROM SPIRIT PETS

Paranormal Authors, investigators and mediums

On Saturday, June 9 I gave a lecture about "Pets and the Afterlife" that was well-attended and I received a lot of great questions. People also shared their own paranormal experiences with their pets in spirit.

OUR PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS

Rob's talk on Pets and the Afterlife

Rob's table

On the night before the paracon, all of the vendors, including me, got to participate in a private paranormal investigation of the VERY haunted former hotel. I had a lot of experiences which will appear in a future book. The night of the paracon, we again did an investigation, but this time with about 75 members of the public. Of course, there were many more sensations and run-ins with ghosts this time around. In fact, 5 different times, ghosts made both Shana Wankel (also a medium) and I experience the exact same things!

Vanessa Hogle, Medium/Radio host and Rob 

MEET VANESSA HOGLE, MEDIUM - Vanessa gave a great talk about how to spot a fake medium. Since she is a medium, she knows! 

And she's an amazing, true medium.

Paranormal Q&A: How do spirits exist and can they see us?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: How do spirits exist and can they see us? Are they energized life forms, and if so, can this be detected by fluctuations in physical fields or sensing technology of some sort?

A: After our physical bodies die, the energy within couples with our memories, personality and knowledge. We make a choice to stay Earthbound at a fixed location - what I call a ghost, or cross over and join the energies of the universe- which I call a spirit.  

  Think of spirits as photons of light - so yes, they can see us. In the paranormal field we use electromagnetic field detectors - similar to what an electrician uses to detect an electrical current.

For Rob Gutro's 5 books on the paranormal, visit: www.amazon.com. All of Rob's books were written to help explain the paranormal, and teach readers how to find signs from spirit.

Come see me and many paranormal folks today at Haunted Road Media ParaCon in Alton, Illinois!
