UFO's, ancient mysteries, ghosts and psychic power are some of the phenomenon that will be explored at this week's 'X' Symposium, organized by St. Catharines radio host and producer Rob McConnell.

The symposium of speeches, demonstrations and presentations will be held at the Parkway Ramada Inn and Convention Centre, St. Catharines, Friday through Sunday.

Best-selling Chariots of the Gods? author Erich Von Daniken will be delivering the keynote speech Friday night. At least 30 others are scheduled to appear in what master of ceremonies Rob McConnell describes as an international gathering of "renowned speakers, authors, lecturers and media personalities."

Some of the visitors will include David Shoemaker, who allegedly has pieces of crashed UFOs from New Mexico and Giorgio Tsoukalos, chairman of the Archaeology Astronautics & SETI Research Association from Ithaca, New York.

Two Niagara presenters are "Psychic Dorothy," a psychic, angel and spiritual reader from St. Catharines and "Lady Ashley," a Niagara-on-the-Lake white witch.

Symposium subject matter will cover diverse territory from ghost hunting, Feng Shui, psychic healing to astrology.
