Tea’s Weird Week

To kick off Milwaukee Paranormal Conference weekend, we had a party at Faklandia Brewing. One of the activities was a Ghost Story Open Mic, where people could sign up for a few minutes of mic time to share their own ghostly experiences. TWW hosts Heidi Erickson and Tea Krulos emceed.
