BELLEAIR – At first glance there is no question that the Belleview Biltmore with its imposing facade, multitude of gables and rows of blank, staring windows was the perfect venue for a ghost hunter’s getaway.
TAPS, The Atlantic Paranormal Society, had the same impression and last weekend hosted its TAPSCON at the Biltmore. Billed as a gathering of everything paranormal, the convention featured celebrities from the world or the netherworld of the ghostly, extraterrestrial and supernatural.
Linda Blair whose portrayal of the character Regan in the 1973 horror classic “The Exorcist” was on hand to meet convention visitors as were paranormal researchers, authors and the stars of the Sci Fi channel’s “Ghost Hunters” series, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson.
