 Darren Evans is a paranormal researcher from Tulsa Oklahoma. He believes he has received haunted visits from spirit entities for the past 25 years. Darren's research has brought controversial evidence of an entity known as Zozo, whom hundreds of people world-wide have claimed to have contacted via Ouija, and spirit board activity. "The Zozo Spirit Phenomena, is something I have had my eyes upon for a very long time," Darren comments. "I am noticing disturbing trends, and increasingly more paranormal activity associated with the phenomena." Darren's research has prompted others to spread his warning that spirit board communication and spirit summoning can sometimes lead to dangerous repercussions, as evidenced by recent observations within the fields of Demonology and Religious clergy.  You can contact Darren at  zozotheouijaspirit@blogspot.com


Shaman Fillhart is a native of Ohio, raised in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. He began exploring with spirits over twenty years ago, finding his path as a seeker and interpreter for spirits along the way. Always inquisitive and insightful, Shaman began exploring divination through tarot at fifteen, eventually developing skills with a range of divination methods and tools, and now maintains a strong view of divination as a practical art; one created to help bring change and growth. Two decades of eclectic studies and journeys have led him to delve into everything from divination to spirit settling, to counseling the living.  See Shaman at his table for a private reading here at EPIC CON, or visit him at the Mystic Moon in Norfolk, VA.  You may reach him at

Travis Walton.   On November 5, 1975, while working with his logging crew, Mr. Walton was abducted by Aliens. He was gone for 5 days during which time there was an intensive search for him. He, and members of his crew were all given, and passed a series of lie detector tests. He awoke in the alien ship and had first hand contact with the beings.  Few, if any, abduction cases have had as much eye witness testimony, as much investigation, and as much creditability as the story dramatized in FIRE IN THE SKY.  Meet Travis and hear the true story of what he experienced.
