Dublin Paranormal Convention (1 Viewer)

[6th]

October 11th 2008 - Clontarf Castle

The Dublin Paranormal Convention is Dublin’s first event of its kind. The aim of DublinParaCon is to shine a spotlight on the ever growing community of Ghost enthusiasts as well those interested in other areas such as Ufology, ESP, Crypto zoology and much more.

Ireland has a rich history of myths, legends and folklore but it’s the stories that don’t get told that are the most amazing. People are becoming more open when it comes to discussing their supernatural experiences and we want to give these people a chance to meet others and ask questions.

DublinParaCon will bring together people from all over who dedicate their time to investigating and researching the Paranormal and give those who have an interest the chance to get involved.

With Guest Speakers, workshops, stands and exhibitions the Dublin Paranormal Convention is going to grab the Halloween Season by the chains and give them a good old rattle!

Tickets available from the website or at the door.

Does extra terrestrial activity fall under paranormal?

 

[6th]

It does for a lot of people though its not an area I have a huge personal interest in. Theres a bit of a buzz about it at the moment coz there was the annual UFO convention in Rosscommon recently plus the footage thats in the news atm: http://www.independent.ie/national-...-politician--and-pilot--spot-ufo-1484949.html

I suppose Roscommon is the Irish equivalent to Nevada in a way. It makes sense to have it there.

Its been on there for the last 8 years I think and it really does seem to be the UFO capital of Ireland. The whole US military using the west of ireland thing helps too.

I didn't think that much into it to be honest.

I'm gonna head along to this convention anyways. I wonder what the hardcore paranormal heads think of high profile debunkers like Penn Jillette and Derren Brown?

I just googled Uri Geller and came across this: ???

James Randi is great. He did a great job exposing those evangelist cunts. That Johnny Carson clip with Uri Geller is classic.

Chris Angel did a similar million dollar challenge thing to Uri Geller a few years ago. Busted!

I doubt he'll be there but you never know.

I've seen penn & teller do their mind reading / cold reading debunking live and it's seriously impressive shit. It should be required viewing for any TRUE BELIEVERS going to this convention.

In my job I regularly deal with people who describe themselves as "medium", "psychic" or "clairvoyant" - some of them really believe it too.
