Port Gamble Ghost Conference

About this event

The Port Gamble Ghost Conference is one of those rare events where you walk in expecting spooky stories and walk out with new friends, new knowledge, and at least one moment where you question every creak in your house. Held in one of the most haunted towns in Washington, the conference transforms Port Gamble into a buzzing hub of investigators, mediums, historians, skeptics, and people who just really love a good ghost story.

The workshops are genuinely incredible — hands‑on, insightful, and taught by people who actually know what they’re doing. You don’t just sit and listen; you learn, you practice, you explore. Whether it’s equipment training, psychic development, historical hauntings, or investigative techniques, every session feels like a masterclass.

And the speakers? Top‑tier. The conference consistently brings in some of the most respected voices in the paranormal field. You get investigators who’ve spent decades chasing the unexplained, researchers who approach hauntings with scientific rigor, storytellers who make history come alive, and mediums who offer perspectives that make you rethink everything you thought you knew.

It’s a buffet of brilliance.

👻 And Then There’s Pete Orbea

Pete isn’t just the organizer — he’s the heart of the conference. He’s the kind of person who can make a room feel warm, welcoming, and just spooky enough to keep everyone leaning forward. His passion for Port Gamble’s history, hauntings, and community shines through every part of the event.

He’s knowledgeable without being intimidating, funny without being distracting, and kind in a way that makes everyone — from first‑time attendees to seasoned investigators — feel like they belong. Pete has that rare gift of making the paranormal accessible, meaningful, and fun. The conference wouldn’t be the same without him.

Honestly, if ghosts had a Yelp page, they’d give Pete five stars.
