Haunted
graveyards,
forensic hypnosis regression
and a healing sound bath are
some of the features coming
to Seaside this month. They
come with haunted tours of
local landmarks deep into
the wee hours in search of
Seaside’s hidden past.
Rocky Smith and the
Oregon Ghost Conference
are back in Seaside from
March 25 to March 27. They
will celebrate their 10th
anniversary — their fi fth
conference in Seaside — at
the Seaside Civic and Con-
vention Center.
“I think ghosts are not
more common in this day
and age,” Smith said. “It is
just people are much more
open to talking about it.”
The event, which began
in 2012 in Smith’s home-
town of Oregon City, came
to the convention center in
2016 with exhibits, psy-
chics, authors and tours of
haunted Seaside. In 2020
the event was canceled as a
result of the pandemic, and
was held virtually in 2021.
This year’s in-person
return includes “Shadow-
ing with Spirit,” and the pre-
miere of the documentary
DINING

Rocky Smith
Fans of the ghostly gather at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center for the Oregon Ghost
Conference.
“Parasense,” screening at
the Times Theatre.
“Shadowing with Spirit,”
at 7:30 p.m. on March 25 in
the Necanicum Room of the
convention center, features
English medium Vivien
Powell and medium William
Becker. Sit back and watch
volunteers from the audi-
ence be called up on stage
and the spirits are asked to
join them.
In “Parasence,” paranor-
mal veteran Ross Allison
focuses his attention on the
physical aspects of ghosts
actually touching the liv-
ing. His struggle to prove
this phenomena takes a cru-
cial turn when a real scientist
and inventor, Chad Goodwin,
joins his team as they take
subjects into the most haunted
sites known for supernatural
physical contact.
