Meet the Panel
Ash Hamilton
Ash Hamilton is a horror journalist with Horror-Fix and an active paranormal investigator. He brings a reporter’s eye for a good story to the night’s discussion — and he’s pulling double duty, helping run the evening’s audio setup so every strange sound comes through loud and clear.
More about Ash coming soon.
Jonathan Rees

Dan Swinson
Dan Swinson is the second-in-command at the Boo Crew Haunted House, serving under president Megan Fellows. As one of the people who keeps the haunt running night after night, he’ll share what it’s really like to stage scares for a living — and what happens when the haunt itself starts acting haunted.
More about Dan coming soon.
John Marks
John Marks is a psychic medium with Psychic Readings Springfield in Springfield, Illinois. He’ll join the panel as a live reader, bringing a spirit-side perspective to the night’s conversation.
