My first time going to Paracon, and I will for sure be going every year forward from this point on! There’s so much stuff to see there, so many awesome vendors, and some of the best ghost hunters from TV and YouTube. Two days isn’t enough to see it all!! Can’t wait to go tomorrow for the second day of the event!!! I would highly recommend attending Paracon to others. I have also been to the haunted houses held at Pennhurst every October; and they are amazing as well. Pennhurst Asylum is so interesting to see and learn about, and it is always spooky there whether daytime or nighttime.

Absolutely worth it!! There is something uniquely captivating about places where history is so tangible—even when that history is heavy or chilling. Balancing the sobering reality of the past with an appreciation for the architecture, the preservation efforts, and the community that brings life to it today (like the Paracon events including Twin Paranormal) makes for a really profound visit. ​And honestly, a passionate, enthusiastic staff makes all the difference in the world for a tour like that.They did a fantastic job honoring the history while making everyone feel welcome. Please visit this place, we CAN'T loose it to a data center....

This place is massive. The energy there is a big push and pull confliction when you first walk onto the grounds. Was only able to explore the Mayflower building but there were quite a few spots that left me feeling very, very weird. Definitely want to return, provided it isn't turned into an AI center before we make it back. Huge injustice to Pennhurst and its history.

Took my Dad to Pennhurst for his first time investigating yesterday. Happy to have made this memory with him at a place so full of history with so many amazing souls to talk too. Loved the staff working there to preserve Pennhurst as well 👻🖤!!! This is my 5th time going and certainly won’t be my last. I’ve really gotten to know a lot of the kind spirits that remain there. We go in there every time with a level of respect and never leave disappointed. Thank you kind staff members for the dedication you put in to keeping this place safe and watching over those who still remain. Special shout out to our guide Jackie for educating us with unknown facts about the property as well, you’re awesome 😎!!

Attended Paracon 2026. The staff at the event was kind & helpful. The facilities themselves were amazing to walk through. Would love to return to do a tour with less people.
