Living Dead Package: Inside a New Orleans Paranormal Weekend at Paracon

New Orleans, Louisiana serves as an electric stage for the Living Dead Package, a three-day paranormal immersion that convenes at Crowne Plaza New Orleans • 739 Canal Street New Orleans, LA 70130. Designed for two people, the package combines Friday–Saturday accommodations with a packed Saturday–Sunday workshop slate that pairs hands-on techniques with panels and Q&As.
Step into lecture rooms and late‑afternoon discussions where topics move from practical to otherworldly: Beyond the Veil and Into the Wild explores animals in the paranormal world with Angel Morgan; Ghost Hunting ITC Techniques is led by Brandon Cooper; Metaphysics & Paranormality features Ron Yacovetti and Lourdes Gonzalez; and the weekend culminates in a Q&A with John Zaffis & The Warren Society. Panels cover Vampire Practices with Father Sebastiaan, Papa Zar & Marita Woywod Crandle, Native American Spirituality & Protections, and a Voodoo Panel with Voodoo Authentica. Paid classes—available for an additional $20/pp per class—add focused sessions such as Parapsychology, Psychic Development, and practical cleansing and investigative techniques.
This event feels special because it pairs a festival-of-ideas pace with focused technical training. You’ll move between introductory GA sessions and deeper paid workshops on equipment, evidence evaluation, and on-site clearing methods. Small Q&As and panels create direct contact with experienced investigators and practitioners, making it a good fit for curious beginners, skeptical investigators, and practicing mediums alike. The schedule’s repetition across Saturday and Sunday gives attendees a chance to rotate between overlapping subjects and retake practical sessions.
The Living Dead Package stands out in New Orleans for bringing multiple traditions together—Western parapsychology, vampire subculture, Native American spiritual perspectives, and New Orleans-style voodoo—within a hotel-conference format that’s easy to access. Expect tight classroom settings, vendor rooms, and after-hours conversations that extend lessons beyond the podium. Note: all sales are final.
Logistics are simple: the meeting point is Crowne Plaza New Orleans • 739 Canal Street New Orleans, LA 70130; accommodations are included for Friday and Saturday; allow extra time for registration and optional paid workshops at sign-up. Bring a notebook, a charged recorder or camera for personal reference, a small daylight lamp for night techniques, and comfortable shoes for walking between sessions. If you’re drawn to the city’s layered spiritual history and want a weekend that teaches tools as much as it provokes questions, this package offers an unusually thorough crash course in contemporary paranormal practice in New Orleans.
Plan to arrive early to claim seats in popular panels; bring respectful curiosity, questions, and payment for paid sessions and merchandise. The weekend’s repeat schedule lets attendees attend core GA classes twice or choose a paid deep-dive once. Rooms at the hotel centralize activity, so pack light, keep valuables secure, and prepare to trade notes with a community.
