Scarefest Convention

The Scarefest Convention is back in Lexington the weekend of September 23rd - 25th. If you have never been to the convention and you have even the slightest interest in paranormal or horror movies, it is time for your first visit - Lots of seminars, lots of celebrities from your favorite movies and paranormal TV shows.

If you go and you have an iPhone, this year offers a brand new Scarefest iPhone app dedicated to the convention! In this app, you will find the latest updates in celebrities that will be attending, how to purchase tickets, lists of seminars, information about the convention center and much more! Download it today - it's FREE!

I am volunteering this year. The event is in its fourth year and is really a fun day. If you have a chance to attend, I highly recommend it!

Halloween is upon us!

Ahhhhh tis the season that every ghost hunter adores! Halloween!

Ghost hunting in itself is popular but throw in the "holiday of all holidays" for spirits and it is a frenzied madhouse! Everyone wants a piece of the action and some of the most prized locations are investigated on this night.

If you can't get your fill of ghouls and more ghouls, check out The Scarefest Convention in Lexington, Kentucky from November 5th - 7th. It is a showcase of horror stars - past and present - as well as the most interesting paranormal experts available. I had an opportunity to volunteer at this event last year and what a fabulous time it was! Even though I have been ghost hunting for several years, I am always learning new things and new techniques. It is a wealth of information and just downright entertaining. I stood face to face with Kane Hodder last year and I must say.....he is just as intimidating without the mask! Anyway....check out the convention. It is the best in the U.S. and you won't be disappointed!

The PIC Team has a few things in the works that we will be able to report on in the next week or so. We still continue to investigate homes and businesses in Covington. Such a historic area you just don't know what you will find! It will soon be the holiday season so we will be wrapping up 2010 in style before we take a break for Christmas.

Check back often for our next report!

Comings and Goings

A few months have slipped by and we have lots to update.


Let's begin with Scarefest! Wow.....what an event that was in Lexington! There were above average crowds on Friday and Saturday! I must admit there were a few of the horror celebrities that I would not know if I passed them on the street. However, I am now educated and really enjoyed a few of them. In particular, Gunnar Hansen (from Texas Chainsaw), who had a great dry sense of humor. A real charming guy outside of the movies! As with Gunnar, the celebrities and vendors all had high praise for the volunteers at the event. Take a look at the following video produced by Infernal Dreams! A great time and I look forward to volunteering again next year!


Our latest investigation took us to Rosie's Tavern on Bakewell Street in Covington Kentucky. The building itself has been around since the early beginnings of Cincinnati and Covington - late 1700's. As the years progressed, the building was used primarily as a boarding house on the 2nd and 3rd floors and a tavern on the first floor. During the prohibition years in the early 1900s it became part of the local grocery chain called Kroger. Once prohibition ended, it became a tavern owned by several different people over the years. Covington Ky also has a lengthy history of gambling establishments. This building was reported to contain slot machines as early as the 1950's when it was the Tiny Mite Social Club - Tiny's for short.


We spent approximately 3 hours in the building and managed to walk away with two credible EVPs from the basement. We were able to hear other voice noises on the recorder but nothing that we could isolate as a word or a phrase. We are meeting with the owner of the establishment this week to review our findings. It was a great opportunity for us because all members of our team have been visitors to this tavern at one time or another.


We are currently working on our logo for the team. We have found that a refresh is in order and we have a few rough drafts created that might just do the trick!

We are looking for another investigation opportunity! We have a few new members who are able to join our team and we would love to put their investigation expertise to good use!


If you know of anyone who would be interested in our FREE investigation, please contact us by the email on this site. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and our research in regards to every location we investigate.

SCAREFEST

Scarefest - 2009

Scarefest 2009 will be held in Lexington Kentucky on September 11 - 13th. If you like the paranormal or enjoy horror movies this is the place to be in September. Chip Coffey will be in attendance again this year as well as members from Ghosthunters International.

Scarefest

This weekend a few member of our team attended Scarefest in Lexington Ky. Presented by Ghost Chasers International (aka. Patti Starr), its targeted to those folks who love paranormal stuff and horror movies. Interesting combination wouldn't you say? Of course, we went down to mainly partake in the paranormal side of things but were quite surprised at the other vendor booths and seminars dedicated to the best the horror movie industry had to offer.

I am not a horror fan myself. I love a good suspense/thriller but just can't handle the blood and gore movies. For those who do really dig that type of thing, there were a few celebrities who were more than willing to sign pictures and paraphernalia for you. Some of them included Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest), Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects) and Kane Hodder (portrayed Jason in Friday The 13th) just to name a few.

I was there to learn more from some resident paranormal experts. There were many seminars available over the three day event and all offered something unique to everyone. The biggest thrill for me was listening to Chip Coffey (Paranormal State and Psychic Kids) talk about his psychic abilities and field questions from the audience.

He drew a large crowd in his seminar and the Q & A session was lively.

The event overall was well organized and the seminars ran like clockwork. I was also thrilled (completely an understatement!) to see an ad for our investigative team in the program! What a fabulous way to get the word out! Thanks much to Pattie Starr for awarding us that opportunity!

As far as future investigations, we have two possible cases coming in the future - one is an abandoned house here on the east side of Cincinnati (if the owners are willing!) and one occupied home in Louisville Ky. I have stories on both of these houses and we are more than ready to tackle both!
