History, Haunts & Legends Paranormal Conference in Jefferson, Texas

by 3 Comments

What is Jefferson’s History, Haunts and Legends?

History, Haunts, and Legends (HHL) is a one-day paranormal conference held in Jefferson, Texas twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. Jodi Breckenridge, who leads the Jefferson Ghost Walk, created this event in 2006, and it has steadily gained momentum ever since!

Historic Cemetery Symbols Talk

I’m so excited to be giving my Historic Cemetery Symbols presentation at History, Haunts, and Legends on November 7, 2015. I absolutely love the town of Jefferson and have been dying to attend HHL, but it’s just never worked out for me in the past. For once, I’m not out of town or booked elsewhere, so I can finally attend!

HHL Daytime Events

History, Haunts, and Legends offers Daytime Events and Nighttime Events. Daytime events include a full roster of speakers, numerous vendors, and a psychic gallery. HHL’s Daytime Events are hosted at the Jefferson Visitors Center (305 E Austin St, Jefferson, TX 75657.)

Speakers and Vendor schedule: The doors open on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. This gives attendees time to drink coffee and don name tags. Guest speakers start presenting at 9:15 and will run all day. (Read on for a full list of speakers and more info about the vendors.)

Psychic Gallery with Dakota Lawrence: At 4:00 p.m., medium, Dakota Lawrence, offers a psychic gallery. Tickets for this event are an additional $35. Seating is limited, but there are still a few seats available as of this writing.

Dinner Break: Around 5:30 or 6, there’s time for a dinner break. People can relax, grab a bite to eat, and get prepared for some ghost hunting, if so inclined!

HHL Nighttime Events

Evening Paranormal Investigations: For its Nighttime Events, History, Haunts, and Legends offers paranormal investigations at 6 haunted hot spots in historic Jefferson, Texas. These spots were all chosen because they are haunted hot spots.

A different paranormal investigation team will be set up at each haunted location. This way, conference attendees can see how different groups conduct their investigations, while also experiencing different haunted locations. To keep these locations from being overly crowded, HHL’s Nighttime Events attendees will be divided into 6 groups.

Each group will spend 45 minutes at each location. It’s like a bar hop, except instead of boozing it up, you are moving from one haunted hot spot to another throughout the evening!

HHL: Paranormal Investigations

Here’s the list of Haunted Locations in Jefferson, Texas that History, Haunts and Legends attendees with tickets to HHL’s Nighttime Events will be investigating:

Hale House
Segal-Wharton
Claiborne House
Three Sisters Cottages
Old Kahn Saloon
Old Mill

HHL: Who is speaking?

The History, Haunts and Legends paranormal conference is going to be jam-packed with interesting speakers, including my talented friend and TGWW Radio co-host, Teal Gray, who will be giving a presentation on Interspecies Communication.

As I mentioned earlier, I’m also giving my Historic Cemetery Symbols talk at HHL in Jefferson, Texas this weekend. (Jefferson has some gorgeous historic cemeteries, too, so I plan on doing some research while I am there!)

HHL: Who are the vendors?

Jodi Breckenridge has rounded up a wide variety of vendors, for History, Haunts, and Legends. I am really looking forward to seeing what these folks have to offer!
