Travel Itinerary
Ghost hunters and thrill-seekers, mark your calendars! The San Antonio Paranormal Festival is materializing at the haunted Victoria’s Black Swan Inn this September, bringing spine-tingling experiences for brave souls across Texas.
This spooktacular gathering features celebrity ghost hunters, paranormal exhibits, and after-dark investigations at one of San Antonio’s most notoriously haunted locations.
1. Haunted History Tours
Walk through shadowy corridors where spirits still linger! Victoria’s Black Swan Inn sits on ancient battlegrounds where paranormal activity has been documented for decades.
Guided tours run at 4 PM, 5 PM, and for the truly brave, 11 PM after dark. Cameras often capture mysterious orbs and unexplained shadows.
2. Celebrity Ghost Hunters
Rub elbows with paranormal royalty! Kate the Brave brings viral ghost-hunting techniques while Ryan Buell shares chilling tales from decades of investigating the unknown.
New Orleans legend Bloody Mary fills the air with incense and whispers of voodoo, sending goosebumps dancing up arms. Ghost-hunting stars speak and then invite the crowd into eerie, hands-on demonstrations that feel like stepping straight into a haunted story.
3. Psychic Gallery Readings
Could messages from beyond be waiting for you? Festival mediums connect visitors with departed loved ones during powerful gallery sessions that frequently leave audiences gasping.
Even skeptics find themselves questioning as strangers reveal eerily specific details.
These readings consistently sell out faster than cemetery plots during plague season!
4. Paranormal Museum Experience
Where else can you see the world’s largest Casper memorabilia collection? Vanessa Irino’s Guinness-certified ghostly treasures fill the air with nostalgic charm, blending sweetness with spine-tingles.
Talking Board Exhibit reveals antique Ouija boards from the 1890s, their aged wood carrying a faint musty scent that whispers of parlors past. Museum access calls for a premium ticket, yet supernatural enthusiasts insist every eerie penny unlocks wonders worth experiencing.
5. Spooky Spirits Bar
Liquid courage comes included! Admission covers ghostly cocktails like Ectoplasm Elixir and Poltergeist Punch, each crafted to thrill brave festival-goers with zesty aromas and a hint of mystery.
Bar area transforms into a paranormal hotspot after sunset, where glasses clink and candle smoke mingles with whispers. Many visitors report strange encounters after a drink or two, spirits in more ways than one.
6. Ghost Box Demonstrations
Hear voices from the other side! Tech-savvy ghost hunters demonstrate cutting-edge equipment that supposedly allows spirits to communicate through manipulated radio frequencies.
Visitors frequently report hearing their names called or receiving personal messages. Whether you’re a believer or skeptic, these interactive sessions consistently deliver goosebumps and gasps.
7. Midnight Séance Circle
Witching hour brings the festival’s most intense experience! VIP ticket holders join professional mediums at midnight to attempt contact with the inn’s resident spirits.
Past séances have left guests shivering in sudden cold spots, watching candles snuff themselves, and even gasping at gentle touches from unseen hands. Exclusive midnight gathering sells out months ahead, proof that curiosity about the beyond burns brighter than any candle flame.
8. Practical Ghost-Hunting Workshop
Become the hunter instead of the haunted! Beginners learn to use EMF meters, thermal cameras, and spirit boxes from seasoned paranormal investigators who share real-world techniques.
Participants practice in the inn’s most active areas. Many leave with unexplainable evidence on their phones and a newfound hobby that’ll have them seeing their homes in an entirely different light!
