CFI WNY Presents: The Ghost Lab with Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling – Live on the Big Screen!

Bigfoot hunters, alien chasers, and psychic mediums aren’t just fringe figures anymore—they’re part of a growing movement that’s reshaping how many people think about reality. Join us at the Center for Inquiry Western New York for a thought-provoking live screening of Skeptical Inquirer Presents, featuring award-winning journalist Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, author of The Ghost Lab: How Bigfoot Hunters, Mediums, and Alien Enthusiasts Are Wrecking Science.

📅 Date: Thursday, July 24, 2025
🕕 Time: Doors open at 6:30 PM | Livestream at 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Center for Inquiry WNY – 1310 Sweet Home Rd, Amherst
☕ Café Hour: Come early for coffee, snacks, and informal conversation

In this timely conversation, Hongoltz-Hetling explores how growing distrust in science, media, and government has created fertile ground for supernatural belief—and how a new class of paranormal entrepreneurs is capitalizing on the crisis of truth. Blending investigative reporting, humor, and deep cultural insight, he unpacks what’s really driving this shift and challenges skeptics to confront not just what people believe, but why they believe it.

Is it possible to build a more resilient scientific and civic culture—one that meets people where they are without giving up on facts? Let’s find out together.

🗣️ Stick around after the livestream for a relaxed post-show discussion in our reading room, where we’ll unpack what this means for science, society, and the skeptical movement.

🎟️ Free and open to all.
