Three days of paranormal presentations, workshops and investigations in historic Washington State
The historic waterfront town of Port Gamble, Washington, will welcome paranormal enthusiasts from November 6–8, 2026, for the 17th Annual Port Gamble Ghost Conference.
The three-day gathering brings together paranormal investigators, researchers, speakers and curious newcomers for a weekend devoted to exploring reports of unexplained activity and the techniques used to investigate them.
Visitors can attend presentations, panel discussions and two-hour workshops covering various aspects of paranormal investigation and related subjects.
One of the conference’s main attractions is the opportunity to participate in nighttime investigations of some of Port Gamble’s historic buildings. Locations include the Walker-Ames House, built in 1888, and the Masonic Lodge, dating to 1871. These investigations give participants an opportunity to experience the settings behind some of the town’s reported ghost stories.
Founded in 1853, Port Gamble is known for its preserved nineteenth-century architecture and its longstanding reputation for paranormal activity. The town provides an atmospheric setting for a conference that combines historical interest, personal experiences and contemporary ghost-hunting practices.
Whether you’re an experienced investigator or simply interested in the paranormal, the conference offers an opportunity to meet others who share that curiosity.
