HAuNTcon is an acronym for the Haunted Attraction National Tradeshow and Conference, an expo and convention “Designed by Haunters, for Haunters” of every age and level of experience. HAuNTcon brings people who love Haunted Houses and Halloween together for a fun-filled four days and nights of Haunter Education, Tours of Local Haunted Houses, a packed Tradeshow Floor, Hearse Show and an incredible Costume Ball!

The HAuNTcon Haunt Tours start on Wednesday April 27 with a pre-show overnight bus trip that includes lights on and lights off tours of ten local haunts. Attendees will meet the team of the Haunted Hotel in Louisville during the Thursday Night Kick-off Tour and get a behind the scenes look at this great event, now in its 17th year. The Friday Night Spotlight Tour is of Indiana’s Industrial Nightmare and Fear Fair, two local legends.

A key component of HAuNTcon is education! Over 40 hours of seminars, Make-n-takes, workshops and demonstrations, all included in the price of admission. Our education is designed to help attendees learn new techniques on makeup and actor training, prop and set building, advertising and marketing, as well as tips and tricks to make their lives easier and their attractions more successful.

The Tradeshow floor, Friday April 29 through May 1, is filled with the latest in fright services and equipment, for the professional Haunted House owner and the Halloween enthusiast alike. From horror makeup and highly detailed masks to static props and large animatronic creatures, everything a Haunter needs will be for sale, often at wholesale prices.

Saturday night April 30, Haunters from across the country show off their most creative costumes at the massive HAuNTcon Costume Ball, a rocking party that celebrates the joy of getting into character for fun, rather than for work. It’s like Halloween in April!

In 1970, the Bean family moved into a modest three bedroom ranch style house located in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The community was called, "Harundale." Bill recalled his first memories of the house were frightening ones. "It had a very foreboding and ominous feel from the start," he said. What the family didn’t know is that a demonic force already occupied their new home. Bill Bean stated, "My family was literally torn apart by an evil force that co-existed among us. The activity began as noises and gradually escalated into violent physical attacks on us by the entities." In his book Dark Force, Bill Bean painfully describes in terrifying detail the events that tormented his family. As disturbing as some of the content in Dark Force is, there’s a very powerful message of hope and faith that has affected many readers in a positive way. "Every now and then a book comes along that you just can’t put down. Dark Force is among those books. I have read many true life stories, but not since reading Jay Anson’s Amityville Horror has a story stayed in my mind. Hour after hour and day after day." Tim Kelly. Through it all, Bill Bean stands tall as a champion of faith. His story has touched and inspired many. "Dark Force" is a must read book! Bill starred in a Discovery Channel broadcast about his story. The show aired on September 7, 2006 and is often shown during Bill’s lectures.

Alan is an average guy that was born in Lynchburg, VA and developed an interest in the paranormal at an early age. In the days before the Internet he read what he could and listened to those that had experienced something unexplained. He moved to nearby Bedford County in the 90's where he later formed a paranormal investigation group in '07 www.bedfordparanormal.com . The group is made up of a collection of people that have different levels of belief and outlooks.

I am fortunate to have been introduced to paranormal phenomenon and the metaphysical community very early in life; my mom and fellow I-team member, Annette, made it a duty to expose me to a non-traditional education among astrologers, intuitives, healers, and an eclectic array of esoteric individuals and organizations. I began seriously studying metaphysics around the age of 15, and naturally moved into the paranormal field shortly after. I find it funny that I consider myself a “hopeful skeptic” rather than a believer, given my early influences, but I was also always taught to question everything, and to form my own opinions based on my personal experiences.

Join us on Saturday night for a peek into the Mysterious Journeys Weekends with Mark Nesbitt and his investigative team.
