MASS PARACON ANNOUNCEMENT: We’ve decided to make a change to the Saturday night investigation at MASS ParaCon. On Saturday, October 3, from 8 PM to midnight, we’ll be staying at the Taunton Conference Center, which is attached to an allegedly haunted hotel that is currently under construction, and transforming the evening into more of an immersive “paranormal experience.”
Inspired by an event we’re doing with our sponsors at the Symposium of Spirits, we’ll explore a variety of methods of spirit communication in an attempt to connect with my distant cousin, Lizzie Borden, as well as other women connected to my family’s history and bloodline, including Sarah Maria Cornell, Eliza Borden, and Aileen Wuornos. Could there be a family curse? Throughout the evening, we’ll explore that question while attempting to communicate with these spirits and, hopefully, find answers and offer a sense of post-mortem peace.
My goal isn’t to retraumatize or sensationalize these spirits, but rather to approach the experience ethically and thoughtfully, giving a voice to the women in my family line whose stories have often been shaped by tragedy, folklore, and popular culture.
Heidi Kemper will introduce the group to the concept of “soul retrieval,” and we’ll combine that approach with a variety of other paranormal techniques, which will be announced soon.
Because of this change, we are no longer investigating the Historic Abbey during MASS ParaCon. We felt like it was too far of a trek for attendees to go from Taunton to Fall River. I am, however, planning a book-signing event at the Abbey, which is featured in my upcoming book, “Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse.”
As for the other Lizzie Borden experiences: the Friday night investigation with Sam & Patti is essentially sold out, with only one ticket remaining. The Tea with Lizzie & Emma currently has six tickets available. If you’d like to investigate the Lizzie Borden House on Saturday, October 3, from 10 PM to midnight, you can arrange that experience directly with the Lizzie Borden House.
More details about the Saturday night paranormal experience will be announced soon! Visit MASSParaCon.com for updates.
