What a weekend. Ice, snow, frozen pipes and all - Hanover Tavern ParaCon was a success, and my heart is full.
The stage is empty now, but the echoes remain. Thank you to everyone who made Hanover Tavern ParaCon 2026 a reality.
I want to start by thanking my own team, Transcend Paranormal , who showed up, stepped up, and never stopped moving even when the conditions were less than ideal. You carried this event on your backs with professionalism, humor, and heart.
A huge thank you to Haunts of Richmond , CPRI: The Center for Paranormal Research and Investigation, and every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and patience to help make this weekend happen. Events like this don’t work without people willing to jump in wherever they’re needed, and you all did exactly that.
To our special guests and speakers - thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us and support the Tavern. Your voices, stories, and willingness to share made this weekend what it was.
And to everyone who attended, especially those who came out despite the crazy weather - thank you. You showed up with enthusiasm, kindness, and a genuine love for history and the paranormal. The energy in the rooms, the conversations, the laughter, and the excitement around the raffle made every challenge worth it.
It was truly an honor to host so many wonderful people at a place I love so dearly, and to share that place with all of you.
We’re already talking about Hanover Tavern ParaCon 2027, and yes… we’ve got some brand-new ideas already in the works.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. 🕯️👻
