I'm from Little Chute, which is a few miles away from Appleton. After visiting Kate Blood's gravesight yesterday, I'm really excited about going to the Appleton conference in October. I hope to learn more about the surrounding areas of Appleton.

I have yet to find Kate Blood's grave stone. I am not from Appleton, but did go to the 2004 Appleton conference, and it was so interesting.
I just wish October was not so far away!
And... it's the fine opportunity to get more books, signed and all... I guess I need another Road Guide that is not dog-earred from taking in the car.
Terry/Chad, any chance of having a confr. in Manitowoc area?

Hey, LadyofTheLake -- we MAY have a remedy for you. Chad & I were talking the other day about the possibility of holding The Unexplained Conference in Green Bay -- in June! I'll be there for a signing at the GB Barnes & Noble on Saturday, June 25 and then in Appleton on Sunday, June 26. Since we're already there, why not make it a big weekend? The wheels are already turning in Chad's mind, so I'm reasonably sure this is going to happen. Keep watching the skies, and maybe something will fall. If anyone else is in the greater Green Bay area and think this is a great idea, please let one of us know. To the Bluff Girls -- great meeting you the other night. Wish I were more coherent when I was talking to you. After doing conference related things all day, my mind sorta shuts down at the end of the night. Some of your photos were pretty intriguing and I think you should continue with the "communications" you talked to me about. The more ghost hunting I do, the more I decide to break rules and go back to the purer beginnings when things were more experimental. You seem pretty serious -- you're off to a great start.

chants Do it! Do it!
Have you done Green Bay ones before?
I met you at the Appleton one, in 10/04. This time or in October (will they be about the same? ) I will promise to not crawl in my shell. I will let you know who I am instead of keeping quiet and not saying much. I was at fault for that last time, I just kept quiet for most of it (and for me to be quiet, sometimes that is rare).
I was in Green Bay yesterday and never got so lost in my life, as a car passenger *laughs* -- typical woman driver my friend was.
I will stay posted... and thanks for the info on the possibility!
BTW -- Richard: Last week, in Milwaukee, stopped at a mall, and had seen a Barnes and Noble near by. Walked to the store (lights on ppl inside) and then realized it was out of business? I had hoped to run into your book, still wanted to wait to get it, as for getting it signed when you have signings. The sad thing? Well, there was a Starbucks in the store, and the sign saying CLOSED meant my chance for a caramel macchiato was now gone. Talk about wanting to host a pity party... So I have yet to see the book (Manitowoc has no B&N or Starbucks).

Yes! I Agree! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! I personaly know a lot of people (well, maybe a handfull) that would love to go to a conference in Green Bay! I've heard several people say that they couldn't go to the one last Oct because they couldn't get a babysitter, it's to far to drive in the dark, etc. Personally I don't see what the big deal is, but I guess with the price of gas going up and all. I am still planing on going to your next one in Appleton, But I would defiantly go if you had one planed in Green Bay!

*grins* And ~Leapin~ this time I would even say hi and not sit there in silence like last time. I am sorry I did that. But I figured out which one was you due to pics from your website. I guess, being there alone, I was having a silent time out... As for Chad, Terry, Linda and Richard... *chants *

By all means! If you recognize me from my website, feel free to say hello! (I'm thinking of wearing a name tag or something next time) LOL I'm always willing to pop out a business card, talk, and swap stories, although I don't have that many personal ones, I have heard hundreds from other people. And Chad, Terry, Richard, & Linda (if she will be there) Maybe we could go out for a drink afterwords. I know quite a few of the most popular night spots in Green Bay.

Maybe we could all wear name tags *snickers, it'll be just like work, kinda* and do some visit before the starting time of the confr. and follow some fearless leader who knows their way around Green Bay?
Oh boy... am I revealing that I was in Green Bay yesterday with a friend and got so majorly lost that we or the Egyptian gas station attendant could not figure out where we were? It was embarassing, as I have always lived within an hour of Green Bay!
But we did stop and check out the improvements at Hotel Hell, pretty little fence they now have there, keeping us lurkers out and away dammit.
For me sometimes being a rule bender or rule breaker... I stayed away from the fence and stared and watched... y'all should be proud of me for doing that. Then again, last time there, I technically did not tresspass, as there was no tape or sign in front of me, when leaving the caves and proceding.

Little Chute is about a 15 minute drive from Green Bay. I know a LOT of people that would be willing to come to this conference. Say the word, and we'll be there.

Richard, do they sell your book at Barnes and Noble or anywhere around that area? I found your presentation really cool, and I would definately like to get your book now. Only problem at the conference was I was low on cash, but I would definately like to get it.

I am hoping to go... I went last October and it was awesome!
Green Bay scares me, as for getting lost often. So I figured I would wait until the October one, but that is a long ways off...
So, guys, is this a definate date? Where? I mean, I could print out a map and do a road trop prior so I could find it on that day, and even find my way home in the dark, later! Yep, sometimes I could get lost in a shoe box!!

Hi All, I am really excited to announce that yes we will be having an Unexplained Conference in Green Bay on Saturday June 25th. Although we have not narrowed down the location (any thoughts, locals?) we will be there to explore some of the strangest events that have taken place in the area. I will post more information when we get it.

WOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Does the happy dance)
And Chad, as of always, If you would like any information on any of the haunted locations in Green Bay, please feel free to ask me. I would be more than happy to let you know where they are, or even show you myself!
As for where to have the conference, there are a lot of hotels with conference halls in the area. Some right in downtown Green Bay. If you want, I could look into it for you and get you a list of places.

That's what I like about Chad. He always comes through. BTW, Chad, I've been thinking about buying a Cooper Mini. Think you could help me with that? See you all at the conference in Green Bay, Saturday June 25. Richard Hendricks rdh@execpc.com Weird Wisconsin www.weird-wi.com/
