Documenting the Dead. A paranormal lecture for adults with Dustin Pari. Tuesday, October 1, at 6:30 PM. Flyer title includes an image: A sepia-toned photograph of a woman wearing a collared dress with a bow tie. She stares into the camera with eyes wide in shock as other glowing faces seem to float in the darkness around her. We are thrilled to welcome Dustin Pari to our library again, so don’t miss out on this event! A grey-toned photo of Dustin Pari is beside the flyer text. He is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the number 7 on it and smiling at the camera. “Dustin takes a look back at his own efforts to conduct paranormal research and brings it back even further to some of the earliest spirit communication techniques. Complete with historical stories, evidence, and some “would-be” evidence, Dustin does a great job of presenting an honest and respectful retrospective piece on contacting the other side. Filled with anecdotal tales from his travels, and evidence from his investigations, this lecture is just the right mix of educational, fun, and creepy.” – dustinpari.com Dustin is well known for his time spent as part of ‘Ghost Hunters’ and ‘Ghost Hunters International,’ as well as his appearances on ‘Destination Truth’ and ‘Ghost Nation.’ Traveling the world in search of answers has given him years of experience and understanding of the unseen realm. Dustin has become sought after not only for his popular paranormal events, but for his motivational and spiritual lectures as well. Registration is required, see our events page. Call Blackstone Public Library at 508-883-1931 for more information. This event is funded by a generous donation from the Library Gift Account as authorized by the Board of Library Trustees.
