We want to welcome you to the 2018 Haunted American Conference.

We can't believe it's here again already.

It seems like the year goes so fast and we spend so much time looking forward to this event and then it's here and then it seems like it's over almost immediately.

But we really appreciate everybody that comes.

My name is Troy Taylor. I am the guy who started

this thing 22 years ago, but this is Lisa next to me who was actually perfected it.

I have to tell you honestly, she's the one of who that's all the word.

I just come up with like ideas and go, hey, what if we did this?

And then she'll go, go hey well that's stupid or she will say oh yeah that's

really good idea why don't you send them an email that's kind of how usually how it works

but that's how it all comes together and believe it or not we we always say that you know as we get closer to you know a couple years ago we had our big

We thought 20th anniversary, this is so exciting.

And now it's 22, and now next year we're

going to be closer to 25.

I have no idea what we're going to do.

We don't really know what we're going to do next year yet.

But I will tell you that on Sunday we'll already be

planning next year's that's how long this thing takes to get put together I don't

know if that's because we're slow or yeah yeah so I don't know but it is a lot of fun we never

know how we're going to top the last years but we feel like we always do and we'll

talk about that here in just a couple of minutes.

But one of the things I always like to do when we start this off
