Enter the Paranormal World With Barry Pirro

Embrace the spooky season with a virtual library program on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 6 p.m., as paranormal investigator Barry Pirro shares chilling tales of haunted objects. Hear stories of haunted paintings, jewelry, dolls, furniture and even musical instruments. Participants will also have a chance to ask Barry questions over Zoom about his experience as a “ghost hunter” and share their own true ghost stories.

Barry has investigated hundreds of haunted houses, businesses and historic sites. He has also been a consultant for paranormal TV shows including “Ghost Adventures,” “Ghost Nation,” “Kindred Spirits” and “Paranormal Survivor.”
