Join us for a paranormal investigation talk with Don DeCristofaro from the Greater Boston Paranormal Associates. The GBPA are the exclusive paranormal partners of USS Salem in Quincy, MA, which many consider to be the most actively haunted location in New England.

Don will discuss the entities who are still her crew, the effort to identify them and relationships forged with those entities. The evening is a paranormal journey of the land and of the sea, and an experience you don’t want to miss!
