By Barry Pirro, Paranormal Investigator/Ghost Hunter
Mar. 16, 2016: On Thursday, April 14, at 6:30 pm, paranormal investigator/ghost hunter Barry Pirro will present a lecture titled "Ghost Hunting 101" at the Bronxville Public Library.
During the program, Mr. Pirro will play recordings of actual spirit voices recorded during his investigations, share stories about some of his most eerie cases, and give tips to budding ghost hunters. At the end of the evening, audience members will be invited to share their true ghostly tales. The lecture is geared toward adults and young adults.
Mr. Pirro has over a decade of experience investigating reports of hauntings, poltergeists, and other forms of paranormal and supernatural phenomena in every type of setting, from private homes to well-known historical sites. He has conducted private investigations for people from every walk of life--college professors, teachers, investment bankers, psychologists, and people from everyday life. His paranormal investigations run the gamut from ghostly sightings to spirits who make themselves known in terrifying ways.
Mr. Pirro resides in Danbury, Connecticut, and is currently working on a book about his experiences.

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
