THE HOLLOW: Paracon & Film Fest is a one-of-a-kind gathering where the worlds of the paranormal, horror, folklore, and independent film collide—deep in the legendary Pine Barrens, where the Jersey Devil plays.

Hosted by Nine Lives Paranormal, this immersive event brings together paranormal investigators, filmmakers, podcasters, artists, scholars, and fans for a day of discovery, conversation, and community.Attendees can explore a curated vendor hall, engage with creators and investigators, attend panels and screenings, and experience the darker corners of history, myth, and the unexplained.

From chilling documentaries and horror shorts to firsthand accounts of investigations and the folklore that fuels them, The Hollow celebrates both curiosity and creativity—honoring the unknown while amplifying new and underrepresented voices in the paranormal and horror spaces.More than just an event,

The Hollow is rooted in purpose. Partial proceeds from the Paracon & Film Fest will be donated to NJ Mental Health organizations, supporting mental health awareness, advocacy, and community-based resources across New Jersey. By attending, sponsoring, or participating, guests are not only supporting independent creators and investigators—they’re also contributing to meaningful mental health initiatives. Step into the shadows. Celebrate the strange. Support the community. Ages 18+ enforced.
