About the Oregon Ghost Conference
More than a convention - a three-day, city-wide paranormal experience stretching across Seaside and Astoria, Oregon.
Conducting the Paranormal for 15 Years
The Oregon Ghost Conference is the Pacific Northwest's premier paranormal convention, held annually in Seaside, Oregon. Founded by Rocky Smith and William Becker, the conference began in Oregon City in 2012 before relocating to Seaside, Oregon, in 2016, where it has continued to grow into one of the region's largest paranormal events.
Bringing together paranormal investigators, historians, authors, psychics, and enthusiasts from across the country, the conference offers an exciting weekend of expert speakers, hands-on classes, ghost tours, investigations, unique vendors, and unforgettable paranormal experiences.
Whether you're a lifelong believer or simply curious about the unexplained, the Oregon Ghost Conference welcomes everyone to explore history, mystery, and the supernatural along Oregon's beautiful coast.
The Conference at a Glance
A City-Wide Experience
The Seaside Civic and Convention Center is home base - main stage speakers, the vendor hall, and most daytime classes happen here. But OGC extends well beyond one building.
Evening investigations and special events take place at off-site venues across Seaside and Astoria, including historic buildings, inns, and locations with documented paranormal activity. Some are a short walk from the convention center. Others require a drive up the coast to Astoria.
Off-Site Venues
