About Elsie Lodde
Elsie Lodde is the founder of Gold Country ParaCon and owner of Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home in historic Jackson, California.

Guided Paranormal Investigation · Limited Participation
Saturday Night Paranormal Investigation Experience
Step beyond the ordinary and into the unseen during this special Paranormal Investigation at Sacramento Goddess Festival.
Led by Elsie Lodde, this guided experience invites guests to explore the energy, mystery, and history of the Sacramento Scottish Rite Center through a respectful, hands-on paranormal investigation.
During this interactive experience, guests will learn basic paranormal investigation techniques, explore the space in small guided teams, and participate in a real guided investigation. This is not a haunted attraction, not a staged performance, and not a scare experience.
