Step into the shadows at the inaugural Obscura Paracon 2026, hosted by Breaking Fate Entertainment inside the historic Altgeld Hall at Northern Illinois University — March 21st & 22nd, 2026!
For the very first time, the 1890s-era “castle on the hill” will transform into a hub for the paranormal, supernatural, and all things strange and unusual. From ghost stories to dark art, from cryptids to occult curiosities, this is where the veil between worlds grows thin.
What to expect at the first-ever Obscura Paracon:
🔮 Vendor Hall of Curiosities
Browse a curated selection of over 40 vendors offering dark art, oddities, paranormal merchandise, metaphysical goods, books, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind creations.
👻 Special Guests & Paranormal Experts
Meet ghost hunters, authors, filmmakers, mystics, and creators from across the paranormal and dark arts community. (Announcements coming soon!)
🕯️ Panels, Workshops & Discussions
Hear first-hand stories of hauntings, learn about ghost-hunting equipment, explore occult practices, and dive into the lore of the unexplained.
🎭 Dark Cosplay & Atmosphere
Bring your most haunting, gothic, or supernatural-inspired cosplay to life inside the castle walls.
📅 Mark your calendars for March 21st & 22nd, 2026 and prepare for the first-ever Obscura Paracon — an immersive weekend where the paranormal takes center stage.
