SPEAKERS & SPECIAL GUESTS

Dan Dillman, 3rd generation treasure hunter and investigator of the unexplained

Dan Dillman

Investigator · Lost Gold of The Aztecs

IAM Dan Dillman, a third-generation treasure hunter, investigator of the unexplained, ancient mysteries theorist, mystic, author, and filmmaker.

For over six decades, my family has chased the world’s most enduring riddles: lost Aztec Treasure, hidden civilizations, UFO/UAP phenomena, the paranormal, and the unexplained. I’m carrying that torch into a new era, in life, on camera, on stage, and in the field.

Scott Wolter, host of America Unearthed and forensic geologist, Mysterious X 2026 speaker

Scott Wolter

Researcher · Investigator

Scott F. Wolter is a forensic geologist, petrographer, author, and internationally recognized researcher whose work explores the intersection of ancient history, archaeology, symbolism, and the enduring legacy of the Knights Templar in North America. Combining scientific analysis with historical investigation, Wolter has spent decades examining artifacts, inscriptions, and historical evidence that challenge conventional narratives about the exploration and settlement of the Americas.

Best known as the host of the History Channel’s America Unearthed, as well as Pirate Treasure of the Knights Templar and Holy Grail in America, Scott has traveled extensively in search of clues connecting ancient cultures, secret societies, and forgotten chapters of history. His television work has introduced millions of viewers to mysteries involving the Templars, pre-Columbian exploration, sacred sites, hidden symbols, and unexplained artifacts.

A trained forensic geologist and founder of American Petrographic Services, Wolter has applied scientific methods to the study of controversial historical objects, most notably the Kensington Rune Stone. His investigation into the stone’s origins led him on a decades-long journey into the Western Mystery Traditions and the possibility that Templar explorers reached North America centuries before Columbus.

Scott is the author of The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America and Cryptic Code of the Templars in America, works that explore evidence for medieval European influence in the New World and the hidden symbols that may reveal a deeper understanding of North American history.

As a lecturer and researcher, Wolter continues to investigate the connections between the Knights Templar, Freemasonry, ancient wisdom traditions, sacred geometry, and the mysteries that have shaped human civilization. His work encourages audiences to examine history through both scientific inquiry and open-minded exploration.

At the Mysterious X Conference, Scott Wolter will present his research into the Knights Templar, hidden history, ancient exploration, sacred symbolism, and the evidence that suggests North America’s past may be far more complex and intriguing than commonly believed.

Janet Wolter, author and researcher, Mysterious X 2026 speaker

Janet Wolter

Researcher · Author

Janet and her husband Scott Wolter have been researching the hidden history of North America for over 20 years beginning with the Kensington Rune Stone found in their home state of MN in 1898, determining it to be a genuine Templar document carved in stone.

Being rejected by mainstream academia, their determination to investigate deeper led them to partner with other researchers leading to more unknown historical documents. These came in the form of journals, encrypted messages and maps, ultimately leading to clues about hidden caches and revealing the suppressed history of the founding of the United States. The involvement of the medieval Knights Templar and their Covenant with the sacred feminine, led Janet and her coauthor Alan Butler to rediscover what our founders left hidden in plain sight, for all to see, in places like Washington DC and New York City, confirming their theories as presented in their book, “America: Nation of the Goddess, the Venus families and the Founding of the United States.”

Widely recognized for his detailed presentations on Bigfoot evidence, Kryder has developed a reputation for combining careful documentation, field investigation, and critical analysis in his search for answers. His research explores physical trace evidence, eyewitness testimony, historical accounts, and the broader cultural significance of Sasquatch reports, while encouraging thoughtful discussion about the possibility of undiscovered species and unexplained phenomena.

Beyond cryptozoology, Robert’s interests extend into hidden history, artifact research, ancient cultures, and the mysteries that lie beyond conventional explanations. Through expeditions, fieldwork, and public presentations, he seeks to bridge the gap between folklore, history, and firsthand investigation, inspiring audiences to examine the unknown with both curiosity and an open mind.

A passionate educator and storyteller, Kryder has presented his findings at conferences, research gatherings, and public events across the country. His engaging presentations combine compelling evidence, personal experiences, and years of field research, making him a respected voice within the Bigfoot and mystery research communities.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

Everything else you need to know before you book.

When is Mysterious X happening?
Mysterious X 2026 runs Thursday, September 24 through Sunday, September 27, 2026, in Kanab, Utah.
Where is the venue?
The Historic RedStone Theater, 29 W Center Street, Kanab, UT 84741 — in the heart of downtown Kanab, surrounded by red rock canyons, petroglyph sites, and a long history of unexplained activity. Easy access to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon North Rim.
When do tickets go on sale?
Tickets are on sale now, at General pricing. Day passes are $99, the 3-Day Pass is $249, and the experience tiers run from Insider at $499 up to the Founders Circle at $1,999. The experience tiers carry hard caps set by lodging, vehicle and venue capacity, so several will sell out well before September. Book the tier you want rather than waiting on it.
What's the difference between the experience tiers?
Insider, $499. The full three-day theater program plus both Rising Moon Ranch nights, with a catered dinner each night and CE-5 contact protocols under dark Utah skies with Dan.

VIP, $749. Everything in Insider, plus Thursday: the kickoff mixer and welcome dinner at the Once Upon A Time In America Museum, followed immediately by a live paranormal investigation with Dan and Daryl Marston. Includes the VIP swag bag.

Ultimate Weekend, $1,499. Everything in VIP, plus all day Sunday at Three Lakes Canyon with ground-penetrating radar at Dillman Cave, an underwater submersible drone in the skull cave pond, catered dinner, fire circle, night sky watch and an overnight stay.

Founders Circle, $1,999. Everything in the Ultimate Weekend, plus private time with Dan and the headliners, a treasure map keepsake, lifetime Founder status, recognition on the conference wall and first access to every future event.
What makes the Three Lakes Canyon expedition special?
Three Lakes Canyon is the site tied to the generations-long search for Montezuma's Aztec treasure, and a place where UFO sightings, paranormal activity, Bigfoot reports and ancient sacred sites all converge. Dillman Cave sits inside the canyon. It is where our team uncovered an ancient wall and a stone box, and it is where the ground-penetrating radar scans happen. The Ultimate Weekend and Founders Circle include all day Sunday there, with catered dinner, a fire circle, a night sky watch and an overnight stay in private cabins, safari tents or the stone house. We are searching for an artifact recorded on Lost Gold of the Aztecs and never recovered. We promise the search, not the find.
What happens at the theater on Sunday if Dan is at Three Lakes Canyon?
Sunday programming at the RedStone continues with speakers, films and panels. There is a full day of it for anyone holding a Sunday Day Pass, 3-Day Pass, Insider or VIP. Ultimate Weekend and Founders Circle ticket holders have a parallel field experience at Three Lakes Canyon with Dan and team.
Can I attend virtually?
Mysterious X 2026 is an in-person experience only. Select talks and screenings may be released on-demand after the event — pre-sale subscribers will be notified first.
What's the cancellation & refund policy?
All sales are final — no refunds. Tickets and add-ons are fully transferable, so if you can't attend you can transfer your pass to another attendee.
What hotels are nearby?
Our recommended home base is the Fairfield Inn & Suites Kanab, our Official Event Sponsor hotel. Use code MysteriousX to secure the Mysterious X attendee rate of $139 per night.
Where are the Rising Moon Ranch dinners held? What's the dress code?
The Friday and Saturday night dinners are at Rising Moon Ranch, just outside Kanab. Dress is casual, and bring a layer: the desert cools off fast once the sun goes down.

How do I get to Kanab?

Is there a waitlist for sold-out tiers or add-ons?
Yes. Email info@dandillman.com with the tier or add-on you want and your contact info. We notify the waitlist the moment a spot opens.
What should I bring for the field excursions?
Comfortable closed-toe shoes, a layered jacket (Kanab cools off fast at night), sunscreen, hat, water bottle, and a flashlight or headlamp. Camera-on phones welcome — but some experiences may ask phones be silenced or pocketed for the duration.

Yes, depending on availability. Check the registration desk for what's still open. Most VIP and add-on experiences sell out before the event — buy early to lock in.
Are kids allowed?
Kids are welcome with the proper paid pass, and everything is open to all ages: conference talks, panels, Q&As, film screenings, the Rising Moon Ranch evenings, the Thursday night paranormal investigation, and the Sunday expedition at Three Lakes Canyon. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult.
I want to sponsor, vendor, or volunteer.
Three paths to be involved — see the Get Involved section above. Volunteers receive a conference pass for their time. Sponsors get logo placement, booth space, and a speaker mention. Vendors get a booth in the Vendor Room.
