A spine-tingling day is planned at the Paranormal Festival where history, legends and the unexplained collide beneath the shadow of the Superstition Mountains.

Long associated with mysterious disappearances, ghost stories, lost treasures and unexplained phenomena, the Superstitions provide the perfect backdrop for a celebration of all things paranormal 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum, 4087 E. Apache Trail, northeast of Apache Junction.

The event is hosted in collaboration with AZ Ghost Tours, which offers a family tour at 4 p.m. and paranormal investigation at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets available at a link at smldm.org/services-page.

Browse a marketplace filled with unique vendors offering paranormal-themed merchandise, handcrafted goods, curiosities, and one-of-a-kind treasures. Gather in the historic Apacheland Barn for a Paranormal Speaker Series, featuring researchers, investigators, authors and enthusiasts sharing their experiences, evidence, and theories about the strange and unexplained, it states in a release.

For those seeking a closer encounter with the museum’s past, don’t miss the Spooky Docent Tours through the Gallery. Explore the stories, legends, and mysteries woven throughout the history of the Superstition Mountains, where fact and folklore often blur together.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet and chat with local paranormal investigation groups, learn about their methods, examine equipment used in modern ghost hunting, and hear firsthand accounts from investigations across Arizona.

Whether you’re a seasoned paranormal enthusiast, a curious skeptic, or simply looking for a hauntingly good time, the Paranormal Festival offers a day filled with mystery, legends, and the possibility that not everything can be explained.

Dare to discover what lurks beyond the ordinary.
