Will you be joining us THIS Friday evening?

👻 WHAT’S HAUNTING THE NORCROSS CENTER? 👻
An Evening with Agawam Paranormal
Something may be lingering at the Norcross Center… and Agawam Paranormal is coming back to tell us what they found! 🔦👻
Join us on Friday, October 23rd at 6:30 PM for a fascinating—and possibly spooky—evening as Agawam Paranormal reveals the findings from their most recent investigations of the Norcross Center, along with investigations conducted at several other historic local buildings.
🕯️ What did they discover?
📸 What did their cameras capture?
🎙️ What did their equipment pick up?
👀 And… did they encounter anything they can't explain?
Come hear the evidence, see what was captured during their investigations, and learn more about the history and possible paranormal activity surrounding some of our area's historic buildings.

📍 Norcross Center

⏰ 6:30 PM
💵 Free: But there is a $10 suggested donation per person (payable at the door)
