Saturday night May 2, is the massive Haunted Attraction Magazine Costume Ball, where Haunters from across the country show-off their most creative costumes at a rocking party that celebrates the joy of getting into character for fun rather than for work. It is Halloween in May!
NEW for HAuNTcon 2009 is the Sunday Night Haunt Tour and social on May 3 of Monster Mayhem owned by Jeff Lister. The price for this tour includes a light dinner and networking social.
"HAuNTcon is an opportunity for Haunters to network, share tips and stories, get fresh ideas, learn new ways of doing things and check out the latest in Haunting props," explains Leonard Pickel, editor of Haunted Attraction Magazine and HAuNTcon event coordinator. "It is the best money you can spend on your Haunted Event."

If you own a Haunted House or would like to find out how to get started in the Haunt business, then HAuNTcon is a "not to be missed" convention! Even if you just like Haunted Houses and Halloween, then you are in for a rare inside look at how major Haunted Attractions across the country scare millions of people each October.

This is the real deal. About 14 years ago I lived in Nashville and worked in Gallatin, TN. My company moved into an old brick building that had at one time been a head trauma rehab hospital. It was a pleasant old building, and when my company leased it we were all excited. I got the third floor for my department, and didn't mind because it was roomy with a private bathroom.
My boss liked to go all out for special days and decorate for any reason at all. When October rolled around, we had an evening open house planned. It was the last week in October, I worked late, everyone else was gone home for dinner before the open house. I used the restroom, and while I was in there heard a knock on the bathroom door. I said, "Just a minute." Didn't think a thing about it. Went to the sink to wash up, and noticed a light flickering in the shower, showing through the shower's frosted glass walls/door. I thought the boss had put a pumpkin in there with a candle for the open house. Whatever.
Came out of the restroom, no one in the building. Who knocked? Went back and opened the shower stall door, no candle, no jackolantern.
Yet I had def seen a yellow light flickering in there.
I mentioned this the next week to a gal who worked on the third floor with me. She had an office across the hall. Her face went funny, and she told me that one night she had been working late, alone in the building, and was balancing her checkbook register. She went to the restroom, came back to her desk, and across her register someone has written a big line of zeroes. She assured me it was 9:00 p.m. and no one but her was still at work.
We were kind of nervously laughing about this stuff to the receptionist, who told us that the fire alarm in our building tended to go off at 2:00 a.m., bringing our boss out to Gallatin from Nashville. About a 40 minute drive each way. The firemen could never find anything wrong in the house, but they told her the place had a local reputation as haunted.
I resigned shortly after that (for other reasons), but would never work in that building again!
