A Fundraiser for the Maritime Museum of San Diego
This event, the first of its kind, will focus on the subject of maritime ghosts. Experts on various haunted ships (including the Star of India, the RMS Queen Mary, the USS Hornet, and others) will give presentations on the ghosts of each ship, telling what paranormal activity has been seen and experienced. Additionally, there will be a presentation of ghost ships of history, such as the story of the Marie Celeste. Famous names from the paranormal field are scheduled to be present either as additional guest speakers, or to meet with the public and sell their books and videos in the conference's vendor's area.

All proceeds will go to this non-profit museum, one of the best maritime museums in the country.
