Curious Twins Paranormal & Ghost Tours

Curious Twins Paranormal & Ghost Tours Started in 2017, we are a local family-owned historic tour company that seeks to create equitable perspectives of history and the paranormal.

We care deeply about history, folklore and authentic paranormal experiences. We are Curious Twins (Fred & Stephen). What differentiates us from other paranormal companies is that we care deeply about history, folklore and authentic paranormal experiences. For example: We don't do jump scares, we don't make up stories, and we don't dress up as characters. In our tours and investigations, we do our best to establish what is fact and what is fiction. Every year we host two large paranormal conferences: The San Antonio Psychic & Spirit Fest (every May) and The San Antonio Paranormal Fest (every September). In 2025, we were excited to coordinate with the New England Society of Psychic Research (NESPR) to showcase the notorious haunted Annabelle Doll to over 1500 visitors. Our past community partners include: The San Antonio River Authority, Government Canyon State Natural Area, The Nat Washer Masonic Lodge and The King William Association. Recently, we launched a dark tourism podcast called “Curious Travels: A Morbid Travel Guide” and a weekly blog titled, “The Morbid Travel Guide,” accessible at morbidtravelguide.com.

We are thrilled to welcome Nicole & Damian from the ParaPeculiar Museum of Haunted Items for their fascinating presentation, "Haunting History: How the Stories We Tell Shape the Experiences We Have"!

Self-described "experiencers of the weird," Nicole and Damian have earned national recognition for their innovative and esoteric investigative techniques—specializing in Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) work and Signal Mediumship. As podcast hosts and investigators, their groundbreaking approach has been featured on television's Ghosts Off Grid, as well as in Buzzfeed, Yahoo, Fox, and Den of Geek.

Have you ever visited a notoriously haunted site and had an undeniable experience—only to discover later that the location's historical lore wasn't actually true? In this session, Nicole and Damian look past simple debunking to ask a deeper question: why do we continue to experience supernatural activity even when the underlying stories are fabricated? Get ready to get weird as they explore how human narratives shape genuine spiritual encounters.

Texas Paranormal Fest tickets include access to all speakers and presentations, vendors, psychics and mediums, paranormal exhibits, interactive experiences, photo opportunities, historic property access, and the all new Spirit Parlor!

Beware of the Spirit Parlor, only at Texas Paranormal Fest, an immersive experience that will take you on a journey through spirit communication, haunted objects, grief, mourning, and attempts to connect with the other side.

Created and presented by the Curious Twins, this interactive experience is being shared with guests for the very first time.

Guests will have the opportunity to use traditional spirit communication tools, along with modern, state-of-the-art paranormal equipment they can interact with throughout the experience.

You’ll also encounter haunted dolls, mysterious photographs, and even a reportedly haunted Bible. Among the objects featured this year is a very special toy top. Tops have long been associated with divination and spirit communication, sometimes viewed as objects positioned at a crossroads between our world and the next.

This particular top carries an especially unusual story. According to its history, a spirit named René was deliberately transferred into the object, creating an attachment that remains with it today.

Come experience René and the other spirits of the parlor. You may even have the opportunity to ask the spirits a question.

Experience the Spirit Parlor at Texas Paranormal Fest on Saturday, September 19, at Victoria’s Black Swan Inn.

I do not often share my personal connection to September 11th, but 25 years later, it feels important to look back, tell my story, and document what I experienced.

I was an 18-year-old college freshman attending class beside the World Trade Center when the attacks began. In this deeply personal blog, I share my memories of that day, how it changed the course of my life, and why I continue to believe there will always be light within the darkness.

I also share information for those wishing to visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and honor those whose lives were lost.
