Skepticism is the basis of scientific inquiry. But how many research teams properly apply skepticism to claims of anomalous events? Often our own biases will color our interpretations. Our desire for a specific answer may blind us to other alternatives. The ability to apply skepticism to such controversial topics will demonstrate professionalism, and dedication to scientific inquiry over our own biases. This lecture will explore how to verify candidate explanations, provide examples of the most common fallacies, as well as controversial paranormal explanations.

Before purchasing tickets for Classes, Evening Events, Investigtions or Ghost Tours, we highly recommend that you make a plan by looking at the 2026 Schedule so you can decide how you want to spend your time and to make sure you don’t purchase tickets for classes or events that overlap or cause scheduling conflicts. Please plan carefully because there are NO CASH REFUNDS. Individual tickets for classes, tours, investigations and events are available from each class or event page and can also be found through the 2026 Schedule or the Online Box Office. 

In addition to purchasing individual tickets to classes, tours or events, you will also need to purchase a General Admission Ticket.

General Admission Tickets are $20 and are good for the entire weekend. General Admission Tickets can be purchased through our Online Box Office or at the Oregon Ghost Conference Box Office at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center: Friday, March 27th-Sunday, March 29th.

General Admission tickets are good for admission to the Vendors Area and all Main Stage Speaker presentations for all three days of the Oregon Ghost Conference.

Sunday Only General Admission Tickets are $10 and can only be purchased in person at the  Oregon Ghost Conference Box Office at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center, Sunday, March 29th ONLY.
