The authentic haunted Annabelle doll will be moved from The Warren’s Occult Museum in Monroe, CT to Rock Island, IL for the Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo!
On display will be the REAL Annabelle doll, one of the most dangerous artifacts collected by the most famous ghost hunters of all time, Ed & Lorraine Warren during their investigations into the paranormal. Annabelle is a Raggedy Ann doll responsible for the demonic attack that led to psychic injuries and the death of a young man involved in a motorcycle accident. Annabelle is the inspiration for the blockbuster trio of Annabelle movies in The Conjuring Universe film series. Other artifacts on display from the Warren Occult Museum include the “Shadow Doll,” “Satanic Worship Idol,” “Conjuring Mirror,” and many more! A movie prop Annabelle doll used in the film, Annabelle Comes Home, and donated by Warner Brothers as a gift to The Warren’s Occult Museum in 2019 will also be on hand!
The Warren Occult Museum is located in Monroe, CT at the home of Ed & Lorraine Warren. The Warrens established the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR) in 1952 to continue their work fighting evil and proving its existence. Their work continues today with a group of dedicated members and caretakers of the museum lead by the Warren's daughter and son-in-law, Tony and Judy Spera. The museum has been closed to the public for several years but the stories and museum are being brought to Rock Island to continue the Warren's work!
Empty Casket Talking Board Museum: Within these walls we seek to educate the masses on the turbulent history of the world's most recognizeable tool for speaking with the other side...the Talking Board.
From its modest origins in rural Ohio, through its many legal battles, its dark reputation, and on to today's love of the enigmatic board. Join us as we dispell the myths and superstitions wrought by the satanic panic, reveal it's magestry and power, and showcase our collection of boards and Ouija memorabilia.
Join Rob Stachowitz, Sara Villani and Dani Marie of Get Haunted as they team up with War Party Paranormal, Hunger Nights (from Greece) and more to bring you a truly one of a kind paranormal investigation.
Patti Negri, The Good Witch of Hollywood and PARAflixx, joining this year's expo to bring you not just a presentation, but her amazing Midnight Seance, after the VIP Investigation!
Join Patti Negri in this safe and just slightly spooky seance to connect with your loved ones on the other side. As we journey through the veil together, everyone will have a chance to invite in and communicate with their deceased loved ones. It's a full experience of insight, magic and communicating with the other side. If you have seen Patti do seances on Ghost Adventures or other TV shows and are worried about dark spirits – she promises, none will be allowed – and no one is going home with any (even if you want to). Good, fun, communicative spirits will be the only one permitted!

Stonetape Theory: This theory proposes that certain locations can capture and store emotional experiences or significant events, much like a tape recording. According to this concept, these emotional imprints can be replayed under specific conditions, often creating the sensation of witnessing past events. It suggests that the environment itself acts as a vessel for memories, allowing individuals to experience echoes of those who came before them. This theory provides a framework to understand why people might report seeing apparitions or experiencing phenomena linked to certain places.
Stigma Theory: This theory posits that locations where traumatic events, such as violent deaths, murders, or suicides, have occurred can harbor a lingering negative energy or emotional imprint, often creating a sense of being "dark" or haunted due to the intense emotions associated with these incidents. This theory highlights the concept of emotional residue, suggesting that the
powerful feelings experienced during a traumatic event can become embedded in a space, incensing how individuals perceive and interact with that environment in the future.
Additionally, communities may collectively remember and share stories about these traumatic events, further entrenching the stigma surrounding those areas. As a result, individuals who visit or live in places with a traumatic history may experience anxiety, discomfort, or other negative emotions as a consequence of the perceived residual energy.
Place Memory Theory: This theory suggests that locations may hold memories that can influence the behavior and experiences of those who visit. It posits that significant events— whether traumatic or joyful—can leave an imprint on a place, causing it to resonate with energy that can be felt by later inhabitants or visitors. This can explain why certain locations are perceived as haunted or charged with unusual energy, as individuals may tap into the emotional remnants of past occurrences. Understanding this theory can oer insights into the relationship between memory, emotion, and the physical environment and gain insights into how these theories could explain the unexplained.

Spirits, Squatches & Stories Around the Campfire, Special Addition of CE-5 For the first time EVER!
Spirits, Squatches & Stories Around the Campfire hosted by Packman Paranormal (Ernie & Denise Pack), along with The Black Wolf Paranormal (The Todd & Leanne Escue), and the infamous Squatchman (Greg Yost), is leaving the quaint little town of West Point Kentucky, and their home base of Fort Duffield to bring their event to Rock Island!
The Bigfoot Outlaw, Grizzly Chris also joins the party to bring his own take on Bigfoot.
To add to the allure, the CE-5 experiment will be a great addition to this event hosted by Greg Bakun of GhostBox Radio!
Join your hosts around the campfire to hear stories of their own experiences with things that go bump in the night, and possibly tell some of your own.
This event is being held at a location that holds plenty of its own tales regarding spirits, squatches (or as Squatchman refers to them, the forest people), and UFO encounters. Your hosts come from a variety of backgrounds, and all bring a multitude of experiences from years of paranormal research to the table.
You will have the opportunity to join in on a Bigfoot “expedition”, and/or take part in the CE-5 experiment. If your preference is simply sitting around the campfire swapping stories with likeminded people, then feel free to spend your evening doing just that.
Bring an open mind, positive energy, and a respect for all things unimaginable and see what magic unfolds!
