EARLVILLE – For one night only, join us in celebration of Pride Month as the non-profit group Pride Paranormal NY conducts guided Paranormal Investigations in the historic 1892 Earlville Opera House (EOH) Theater on Saturday, June 8, from 7-9 p.m. and 10 p.m.-12 a.m. 

Pride Paranormal NY is led by seasoned Paranormal Investigator Kenny Harris who will provide a night of fun, education and exploration of the paranormal possibilities at EOH. Attendance is limited and registration is required by calling (315) 691-3550 or signing up on our website at www.earlvilleoperahouse.com. Cost is $20 per person.

Pride Paranormal NY is a fully inclusive paranormal investigation team originating in Central New York. Through community engagement, workshops, paranormal investigations and lectures, Pride Paranormal NY seeks to work with their community to provide a safe, inclusive and understanding atmosphere to explore the concepts of spirituality, identity, and the paranormal, while educating participants on the diverse cultural and spiritual history of New York. Pride Paranormal NY works with local community groups and historic sites to increase the visibility of underrepresented populations through the scope of pseudo-scientific paranormal investigations.

Pride Paranormal NY is funded entirely by guest donations and provides their services to historic sites, museums, and charities at no cost to support these venues. The group is an LGBTQIA+ focused paranormal investigation team operating in the state of New York that celebrates both pride and the paranormal. As stated by Kenny, “We're not specifically looking for just queer ghosts. Being LGBTQIA+ focused means focusing on language, behavior, and methods that are inclusive and respectful of our members’ identities. However, I do think it’s important to acknowledge that queer folx, trans individuals, nonbinary people, etc. have ALWAYS existed, and I hope having an inclusive, supportive, caring group aids in communicating with spirits who deserve to be acknowledged.” Keep an open mind and join us! All proceeds go to support the mission of the EOH.

Earlville Opera House Arts Center is located at 18 East Main Street in the quaint Village of Earlville, NY. At EOH we believe accessibility and inclusion are critical to everything we do. Our historic Opera House has been upgraded to ensure accessibility throughout the building, including a hearing loop system in our 1892 theater provided by Hamilton Hearing LLC.

EOH events are made possible with support from the NYS Senate with support from the Office of the Governor, administered by the New York State Council on the Arts, and through the generosity of EOH members.
