Paranormal Summit 2005 : Canada's Premiere Ghost Conference

2005 Event Pictures
At The Historic and Haunted Customs House
(The Workers Arts & Heritage Centre)

WOW!!! What else can we say! What an incredible day (and night!!) The Summit went off without a hitch and it was so great to see all of us fellow paranormal researchers and enthusiasts join together to share one common interest and goal. The Seminars and Workshops throughout the day exceeded my expectations and i'm proud to say that I believe we put on one of the most intelligent and well-rounded speaker series around!!

Many thanks to all of our Guest Speakers and Exhibitors for coming out, and most of all, to the many people that came through the doors of the Customs House, truly making this event a huge success!
