When History Speaks: Reflections from Pueblo Paranormal Weekend

There are weekends that entertain. And then there are weekends that confirm something deeper.

Pueblo Paranormal Weekend was never meant to be theatrical. It was meant to be respectful. Intentional. Rooted in place.

From the moment we stepped into the Pueblo Heritage Museum, the tone was set: this wasn’t about chasing shadows. It was about listening.

Fire Hose Company No. 3 – A Full House.

The Fire Hose Company No. 3 Museum sold out — and what moved me most wasn’t the numbers. It was the engagement. Participants weren’t passive observers. They asked thoughtful questions. They shared impressions. They leaned into the container we built together.

Often, what one person senses has meaning for someone else.

That is the difference between spectacle and structure.

Paranormal 101 – Education First

Our Paranormal 101 workshop focused on responsible investigation:

• Respect for place

• Understanding equipment — and its limitations

• Psychological awareness

• Historical context before interpretation

When people understand the why, the work becomes deeper.

And the energy shifts.

What Makes This Work Different?

I’ve said it before: I’m not interested in theatrics.

This model is built on:

• Preservation

• Education

• Collaboration with host institutions

• Limited attendance to protect the integrity of the space

Museums are not props. They are stewards of memory.

When we enter, we do so as guests. Special appreciation goes out to John, Lexi, Gary and Jessika.

The Work Continues –Hotel St. Nicholas, March 8

Next, we gather at the St. Nicholas Hotel in Cripple Creek for “Tea Cups to Spirit Voices” — an evening that explores the Victorian roots of séance culture, spiritualism, and intentional communication.

Seats are limited.

Not because scarcity sells — but because intimacy matters.

If Pueblo reminded us of anything, it’s this:

When history is approached with respect, it responds in kind.

And yes… energy is currency.
