The Montauk Project: Stranger Than Fiction

A paranormal lecture for adults with Dustin Pari.

Monday, March 2, at 6:30 PM.
Click here to register.

The Montauk Project – Stranger Than Fiction. A paranormal lecture for adults with Dustin Pari. Monday, March 2, at 6:30 PM. Dustin Pari returns to our library for another thrilling talk about the paranormal. “Dustin’s engaging new program explores the enduring legend of the Montauk Project – an alleged series of secret Cold War–era experiments said to involve mind control, psychic research, and inter-dimensional phenomena- and examines how these claims influenced popular culture. Attendees will learn how the concept for the hit television series Stranger Things is rooted in the so-called “Montauk Project,” before the story was relocated to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Blending documented history, conspiracy lore, and television storytelling, the presentation invites participants to consider how government secrecy, 1980s nostalgia, and speculative science converge to create one of modern pop culture’s most compelling mythologies out of one of history’s greatest conspiracies. Bring your cork boards, red ribbons, and pushpins – it’s going to be one wild ride to the upside down!”– 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 sponsored by UniBank. A grey-toned photo of Dustin Pari is included. He is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the number 7 on it and smiling at the camera. Flyer title includes a graphic from Dustin Pari's website: A dark landscape with a thick forest to the left and an old farmhouse on the right. The ground is shiny with rain and covered in fog. The sky is covered in thick clouds with ominous red light shining through like the sun, and lighting the entire scene in dark red tones. Text reading “The Montauk Project” is at the center of the image in the “Stranger Things” font, and also glowing red.
