You may know Dustin as a part of SyFy television’s Ghost Hunters, Ghost HuntersInternational, and appearances on Destination Truth and Ghost Nation – but being a New England native has allowed Dustin to investigate some very interesting places rich with local history and folklore. This lecture chronicles some of his favorite New England investigations that he has been a part of – including a legend with local roots that has become a world-wide phenomenon. A great bit of local history colored with some chilling tales of the supernatural!
