“Why have this type gathering at all?”

I am sure there are a lot of questions and I hope people will come and ask them here or on Facebook.

The main question is probably; “Why have this type gathering at all?”

Good question and here is one answer. Every year there is convention after convention. People spend up to several hundred dollars to sit and watch people from some of the TV shows or who write books, talk and hope to maybe get to pay for a couple hours on what they call a Paranormal Investigation in a place that has been done hundreds of times. Then they walk around a big room wondering how to spend what few dollars they have left on whatever the vendors are selling at the convention.

Now don’t get me wrong. This is great for those who can afford it and get a charge out of getting a photo taken with someone who they saw on TV. Then there are those who are a little more serious about the paranormal and are looking for answers in their own ways. Maybe these people can’t or don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars to someone who probably doesn’t know any more about the paranormal than they do except how to get on TV.

This IS NOT one of those type events. This is intended to get people to come for a relaxing weekend without any pressure to go anywhere at any certain time or pay for anything except what they want to. Just a mini vacation or day trip for those who live close enough.

One reason why Gettysburg was chosen for the Gathering is the many things to do and see. There are movie theaters, eateries and shops galore. There are museums and all the battlefields for those interested in the history. Don’t forget all the paranormal hot spots. Sach’s Bridge, Devil’s Den and the Slaughter pit to mention a few. There is also the Gettysburg College Campus with the famous sighting of the Blue Boy or the admin building where the ladies saw the civil war operating room getting off the elevator. There is the lovers tower where the girl leaped to her death but the boy chickened out and she still walks the in the tower. Then there is the area formerly known as BLOOD Lake right outside the admin building. Then there are all the great Ghost Tours for the evenings, or go to the movies in a great theater with stadium seating. There are outlet stores close by along with the famous Cashtown Inn.

Now here is another reason why Gettysburg was chosen for a Paranormal Gathering. Over 50,000 people dead, dying, injured or missing in less than 3 days. Thousands of people interested in the paranormal come every year to visit. Now with hundreds of people in the paranormal field visiting, bringing their positive energy to the area all at the same time. Maybe just maybe the mass energy will fuel some interesting phenomena.

Remember, although I would hope some celebrities would show up for a casual unannounced visit and show they are not all about getting your almighty dollar, it is not about them. It is about YOU the individual and spreading unity in the Paranormal field. To come and have a good time with your friends or family and meeting others with the same interest in the Paranormal field.

So I hope you all will pass this along and help make this the largest and best gathering of people interested in the Paranormal.
