MASS ParaCon

On October 2-4, 2026, join “Ghosts of Sleepy Hollow” author Sam Baltrusis for a paranormal weekend at the Taunton Conference Center located in the heart of the Bridgewater Triangle.

MASS PARACON 2026: After scouting multiple locations, I secured the location for MASS ParaCon 2026. The dates are Oct. 2-4, 2026. I decided to go with the Taunton Conference Center located at 700 Myles Standish Drive. The theme is “Monsters of New England” which is both a hat tip to the upcoming season of “Monster: Lizzie Borden” on Netflix and the location is a stone’s throw to Hockomock Swamp in the Bridgewater Triangle which is allegedly home to some of the Bay State’s more colorful cryptids.

Update on MASS ParaCon 2026! Contract is signed for the Taunton Conference Center on Oct. 2-4, 2026. It’s going to be an amazing space this year and I can’t wait to see everyone. The attached hotel portion of the event space will not be ready in time for the event. So, we have room blocks for several hotels near the Taunton Conference Center. We will also have dedicated ambassadors at each hotel to help with any questions.

There’s Fairfield Inn, which is a bit pricey, but very nice for $229 per night. The second, less expensive option, is Red Roof closer to Middleborough for $104 per night plus tax. The hotel has recently been renovated, so it’s an excellent option for those on a budget.

For Red Roof, Candace D. Fedders is the ambassador and you will have to call in with a group block number: B1416MASSPA. Call the Red Roof Inn Suites Middleborough directly at 508-946-4400 or the Groups Department at 1-800-874-9000 open Monday- Friday, 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM EST.

Here’s the link to Fairfield Inn. Angela Artuso is the MASS ParaCon ambassador dedicated to that hotel.

The amazing Heidi Kemper wanted to do something special in honor of our dear friend David Taylor. In the spirit of David’s welcoming new attendees to MASS ParaCon, Heidi has sponsored the general admission tickets to MASS ParaCon on Saturday, October 3rd in honor of our dear friend David Taylor from “Our Haunted Lives.” General admission will be $25 per person (regularly $50) for the main event and lecture series featuring paranormal speakers like Patti Negri, John Zaffis and amazing lineup other speakers including Heidi. In addition to the discounted general admission, Heidi introduced the idea of a MASS ParaCon scholarship for those who would like to attend, but unable to afford the VIP tickets. Love you Heidi and thank you for your support! More details on the scholarship coming soon.
