Summer is still in full swing, but we’re firm believers that it’s never too early to start thinking about fall – Halloween, specifically. This year’s San Antonio Paranormal Fest, hosted by Curious Twins Paranormal, will be held at Victoria’s Black Swan Inn: the most haunted hotel in the city. Habitation of the land dates back to before 5000 B.C., and it’s so notoriously haunted that even the Ghost Adventures crew visited to conduct an investigation. Come spend some time among psychics, mediums, and evil entity hunters while enjoying themed snacks and drinks, tours of the inn and surrounding cemetery, and so many more spooky activities…if you dare, that is.
Black Swan Inn is nestled alongside the peaceful Salado Creek in the heart of San Antonio. It sits on 35 acres of land and is surrounded by mystical gardens and 100-year-old oak and pecan trees.

Native American encampments were located on the property as early as 5000 B.C. It’s rumored that an ancient Indian burial ground sits underneath the inn, and artifacts from the time period have been excavated over the years. Other historic events include a gruesome Civil War battle and tragic suicide by a member of one of the many families who once owned the inn.

On-site ghost hunting crews will be set up with state-of-the-art equipment that guarantees no specter goes unnoticed. Participants in past investigations have witnessed apparitions and experienced lights turning on of their own accord. Some have reported hearing disembodied voices and being pinched by unseen entities.

Other activities include vendors, displays of ghost photography, spooky snacks, San Antonio lore, paranormal lectures, food trucks, and a bar. So much haunting fun packed into one day!
