"Para-Float 2007"

Coming June 8th -9th 2007!!!


Tired of the same old paranormal conferences? Well here's a change!!! Mark your calendars and be ready for the states largest paranormal conference that's actually FUN & EXCITING!!! As of now, we are looking at teams joining us from states as far away as New England and California. This will be an entire weekend of fun and information!!!

You all spoke and we listened as this will be for serious paranormal investigations teams, folks interested in the field and people who just have questions. There won't be any boring moments, just some fun along with some serious paranormal talk and answers to all of your questions about ghosts and investigations from paranormal group speakers from all over the U.S. and you don't have to be a member of a team to attend! So whether you belong to a paranormal team or whether you are just a paranormal enthusiast who loves anything to do with the paranormal, come join us for this fun and exciting event! One of the other benefits to this conference is that the admission to PARA-FLOAT is free (camping/float fee info below) and friends & family members of ALL ages are welcome to attend!


Listen to informative seminars, guest speakers, ask questions from the professionals and get to meet members of your paranormal community and that's not all! We will be floating the river by day and then getting serious about the paranormal towards the evening when the speakers start sharing their experiences and giving information around the campfire that is not only informative & insightful, but enjoyable as well. All those who choose to float the river will be responsible to pay for their own float trip, and if staying in the tenting campground area, the fee is $12 per car load per night.  So grab you a tent or bring out your RV and let's have some fun at PARA-FLOAT!!! We won't charge more then we need to pay for this event unlike some seminars because we want you all to attend and our main goal is getting those with like minds together to enjoy themselves this one spectacular event! While there will be camping fees, float fees and RV fees these will be given to you are a severely discounted rate via our contacts with these great businesses we have teamed up with!
