Since 2012
About the Oregon Ghost Conference
More than a convention - a three-day, city-wide paranormal experience stretching across Seaside and Astoria, Oregon.
14 Years of Ghosts at the Coast
The Oregon Ghost Conference is the Northwest's largest annual gathering of paranormal enthusiasts, investigators, mediums, and curious minds. Since 2012, we've brought the paranormal community together every March in beautiful Seaside, Oregon for a weekend that goes far beyond a typical convention.
This is not a single-venue, sit-in-your-seat event. OGC spans 6 venues across two cities, running from morning workshops through late-night investigations. Attendees can learn from expert instructors during the day, watch presentations from top researchers on the main stage, and then head out after dark for real ghost hunts at genuinely haunted locations.
Each year, new locations and experiences are added. The conference has grown from a small gathering into a multi-day destination event that draws visitors from across the West Coast and beyond.
The 2026 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
