<p>I talk about my kids often and they recently have been having bouts of nightmares and have been scared of ghosts.&nbsp; I think it is a result of their sister instilling the horror in them.&nbsp; I think I will wake her up each time they wake me up because their is a ghost in the closet.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.conventioninsider.com/wp-content/scarefest-poster-2008.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 2px 0px 5px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="240" alt="scarefest-poster-2008" src="http://www.conventioninsider.com/wp-content/scarefest-poster-2008-thumb.jpg" width="160" align="right" border="0"></a> If I was really sinister I would hide in her closet and scare the you know what out of her!&nbsp; This made me think of the people out there that really do like the idea of ghosts and other things paranormal.&nbsp; I search out where I could find a paranormal convention and ran across <a href="http://www.thescarefest.com/index.shtml" target="_blank">&#8220;Scarefest&#8221; in Lexington, Kentucky</a>.&nbsp; Scarefest is brought to us by <a href="http://www.ghosthunter.com/" target="_blank">Ghost Chasers International</a> and their principals, Patti Starr and Jeff Waldridge of the <a href="http://www.ghosthuntershop.com/" target="_blank">Ghost Hunter Shop</a>.</p>
<p>This event will be held at the Lexington Convention Center.&nbsp; According to the Scarefest site the convention center is right in the middle of everything!</p>
<blockquote><p>The Lexington Convention Center is located in the center of the city, in the center of Kentucky and the center of 75% of the population of the United States, at the intersection of I-64 and I-75. In fact, Lexington is no more than a 5 hour drive from the most distant reaches of this massive market.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.lexingtoncenter.com/index2.php" target="_blank">Lexington Convention Center</a> is a faciltiy of nearly 130,000 square feet, but only 18,000 square feet will be used for the Scarefest.&nbsp; The convention center is owned and operated by the Lexington Center Corporation and they also operate the <a href="http://www.rupparena.com/" target="_blank">Rupp Arena</a>, the <a href="http://www.lexingtonoperahouse.com/" target="_blank">Lexington Opera House</a>, the <a href="http://www.lexingtoncenter.com/shops/" target="_blank">Shops at Lexington Center</a> and <a href="http://www.lexingtoncenter.com/trianglePark/" target="_blank">Triangle Park</a>.&nbsp; If interested in booking an event at the Lexington Convention Center <a href="http://www.lexingtoncenter.com/bookingAnEvent/index.php" target="_blank">they have an information page</a>.&nbsp; For now I have to run and check the closet again for that scary monster that is hiding inside.</p>
