Join us for a first-of-its kind event. Where paranormal investigators, intuitives and mental health practitioners can explore the unknown - together!
AN EVENT HELD BY PRSE LLC.
Join us for a truly one-of-a-kind experience as we host Spirits In Session, a groundbreaking conference designed to explore the powerful intersection between the paranormal, psychic phenomena, and psychotherapy. Set inside the iconic—and famously haunted—Menger Hotel in downtown San Antonio, this special gathering brings together leading voices from the world of the supernatural and trained therapists to create a safe, educational, and transformative space for all.
This immersive day event includes a powerful lineup of speakers, including Nick and Tessa Groff (Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Lockdown, Live! With the Otherside), Ryan Buell (A&E’s Paranormal State, licensed therapist), and Dr. Darin Wallis (licensed social worker and marriage/family therapist), as they explore topics ranging from psychic development and paranormal investigation to spiritual trauma and paranormal-informed therapy. Whether you're a paranormal investigator, mental health professional, a spiritual intuitive—or someone who has experienced things you can't explain—this event is for you.
General Pass: Attendees may arrive Friday evening, with a meet-and-greet. On Saturday, experience a full day of immersive workshops and talks given by guest speakers, including Nick and Tessa Groff, Ryan Buell and Dr. Darin Wallis. On Saturday night, we will venture to The Black Swan Inn to investigate.
VIP Experience: For those who want to expand the event, VIP’s will get a private, VIP dinner with the speakers, as well as a small ghost hunt of select areas of The Menger Hotel. VIP pass holders also get admittance into all general pass events, including the talks and Saturday ghost hunt.

TWO GHOST HUNTING LOCATIONS
What’s a paranormal event without a paranormal investigation? We are excited to be offering two locations for our event.
THE MENGER HOTEL (VIPs). For VIP attendees, get ready for a treat as we investigate select areas of The Menger Hotel with Nick and Tessa Groff.
THE BLACK SWAN INN (all attendees). One of the most popular spots in the United States, The Black Swan Inn is located just 15 minutes away from The Menger and is known for being one of the most active spots in Texas. Attendees will get to participate in a spirit communication session, as well as various paranormal experiments (like Estes). The entire grounds are active, so attendees will get to roam around the property, as well as inside the main house, and houses in the back.
Be a part of a safe and supportive group that loves to explore the paranormal!
One of the things that PRS events prides itself in are safe and supportive spaces. If anyone is coming alone, or if it’s your first time investigating, we fully welcome you and will do everything in our power to help you feel supported the entire way.
Most of our regular attendees have started off traveling to one of our events alone and they have made life-long friends.
Some of the ways we like to enhance our attendee experience:
Meet-And-Greet And Social Time. We know it can feel overwhelming to travel to an event and meet a bunch of strangers for the first time. We offer time where we sit with newcomers to get to know them. Many of our regular attendees also go out of their way to get to know newcomers.
Collaborative Experience. Although we do have a schedule outline for our events, we regularly take in feedback and talk as a group to help make sure everyone is having a great experience. Since this is a paranormal investigation, we will regularly meet before, during and after each investigation night to share experiences and discuss what we can try differently for the next night.
