Unity, A Journey of Hope, is sponsoring a fundraiser spotlighting the paranormal Nov. 20 and 21 at the Stonehouse Inn in Farmington.
Paranormal investigators including Chip Coffey from “Paranormal State” and “Psychic Kids,” and Kristyn Gartland from “Ghost Hunters, will be attending the event.”
International medium Lizzy Star will attend, along with Steven LeChance, author of “The Uninvited.”
Denise Jones, mother of the boy who inspired the movie “The Sixth Sense,” will also be at the event.
Chris Dedman from the Travel Channel plans to give a seminar on the dangers of ghost hunting, and Keith and Sandra Johnson from New England Anomalies Research will make appearances.
Michelle Babiarz of the Paranormal Television Network will offer private readings.
“We never planned on having this many people. It just snowballed after the first phone call,” said John Robinson, co-founder of the charity. “It’s amazing, really.”
The event will begin 3 p.m. Nov. 20, when all attendees can meet the celebrities and enjoy a buffet dinner. A few presentations will occur that night and their will be a special prize drawing.
Classes on technique will be given. Haunted Survivor, the Tour also will be featured that night, and will include Jones, Star, and Jan Pierce, Jones’ mother.
Raffle tickets can be purchased for an investigation that evening with some of the celebrities.
There will be a separate drawing each night of the event and the winners will be able to investigate parts of the Stonehouse Inn. Whoever is lucky enough to investigate with C.C. Huntress, a psychic, will be featured on the Paranormal Television Network. The charity also will raffle off tickets for K-2 meters during both days, and one opportunity for a Coffey gallery reading.
The event will continue the morning of Nov. 21 with brunch and dinner to follow later.
Presentations will occur throughout the day. A video, “Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanitarium,” will be featured. A panel of investigators will include a question-and-answer session.
Unity a Journey of Hope was created by John and Bobbi Robinson in spring 2007. It is a non-profit, public charity and grants wishes for those above the age of 18 with life-threatening illnesses.
