Do you want to know the facts around ghosts, goblins, aliens, and other things that go bump in the night? Join the Granite State Skeptics panel to discuss the science behind this phenomena. Join our panel of experts to find out why seeing is not necessarily believing, what may really be causing those ghost orbs in your pictures, and why that UFO streaking through the sky might not be from another world.

Panelists will include Dale Roy, physical science teacher with 8 years experience in the classroom. Kitty Mervine, owner and operator of badalien.org (http://badalien.org) a website devoted to helping those that think they were abducted, as well as a representative from the James Randi Education Foundation (http://www.randi.org), a group dedicated to exposing pseudoscience and uncovering the paranormal. Your moderator will be Travis Roy (travis@granitestateskeptics.org), president of the Granite State Skeptics.

So join us, May 23rd at the Manchester, NH Radison. More info can be found at the official Facebook Event (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=app_2915120374#!/event.php?eid=243472813085&index=1), or www.granitecon.com (http://www.granitecon.com)

We'll be there too. Might need to find someplace to hang out and eat afterwards to wait out in until the rabid-'It's-gonna-be-a-nice-weekend-let's-go'-crazies clear off of 93 south.

Good idea! The Granite State Skeptics meet at Milly’s, which isn't that far from the con. I'm going to mention this at the Boston Skeptics Book Club tomorrow, and offer to carpool with those without cars.

the red arrow diner is great!!

You can come over and paddle too but I think the cabin is about an hour and a half away? Not sure!

But it's open season there!

The cabin definitely deserves more than just an evening. More planning for another weekend needed to do that!

Yah, still trying to figure out what would be best for after. Milly's is nice and all but we'll be meeting there Monday night. There's plenty of places right near where the con is going to be.. I'll have to ask Dale, she'll probably know better than me.

We're on last, so just come up and talk to us, we'll have something figured out, or watch the twitter feed @gsskeptics, or mine @Sc00ter
