Interested in the Paranormal?

Join us on Thursday, January 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 for a presentation from The Phenomenon and Paranormal Investigations (PPI) team. They are a team of paranormal researchers located in Bradford County that are on a quest to find answers in the world of phenomenon. They will be describing what they do and their methods. They will discuss types of haunting and what they are. They also will show the equipment they use incollecting evidence.

There will be videos and audio clips of their most recent investigations. Come join us for an interesting and perhaps “haunting” experience. This program is free and open to all.
